Partnership Deed
Most partnership disputes aren't about bad faith — they're about things the deed never addressed. Capital contributions, profit shares, who decides what, what happens when someone leaves: we draft deeds that answer these before they're asked in anger.

Overview
What this deed actually does
A partnership deed is the written agreement between partners of a partnership firm, governing their mutual rights and obligations.
It records capital contributed by each partner, the profit and loss sharing ratio, and each partner's role in the business.
It defines management authority, banking operations, and restrictions — which partners can bind the firm, borrow, or admit new partners.
It sets the rules for partner entry and exit: retirement, expulsion, death of a partner, and valuation of the outgoing partner's share.
While an unregistered firm can operate on an oral agreement, a written (and ideally registered) deed is essential for enforceability and for the firm to sue.
Benefits
Why firms get this drafted through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Profit-sharing beyond dispute
Ratios, drawings, interest on capital, and remuneration are defined precisely — the four things partners fight about most.
Authority clearly allocated
Who can sign cheques, take loans, and bind the firm is spelled out, protecting the firm from unauthorised commitments.
Exit mechanics built in
Retirement, death, and expulsion provisions — including share valuation — are agreed while everyone is amicable.
Registration handled
We advise on and coordinate firm registration, which gives the partnership its full legal standing.
Documents
What documents do you need for a Partnership Deed?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.

Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Partnership Deed process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
Agree the partnership terms
We discuss capital, profit sharing, roles, and decision-making. Under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, partners are free to set their own terms — the deed is where those terms become enforceable.
We draft the deed
Our lawyers draft the deed covering firm name, business, capital, profit sharing, duties, drawings, interest on capital, admission and retirement of partners, and dissolution. First draft typically takes 2-3 working days.
Partners review and sign
All partners review the draft and sign. The deed is executed on stamp paper of adequate value — stamp duty varies by state.
Firm PAN and bank account
We help you apply for the firm's PAN and open a current account, which need the signed deed.
Register with the Registrar of Firms (recommended)
Registration isn't mandatory but is strongly advised — an unregistered firm cannot sue its partners or third parties under Section 69 of the Partnership Act. We file the registration with the state Registrar of Firms, typically completed in 7-15 working days.

Not mandatory to operate, but highly advisable — an unregistered firm cannot sue to enforce its rights, and partners can't sue the firm. Registration is inexpensive protection.
Typically 3–5 working days for the deed, plus registration processing time.
Yes — the deed can set any ratio the partners agree on, regardless of capital contributed. We record the agreed position explicitly.
Whatever the deed says — which is why it must say something. Typically the firm continues with the remaining partners and the deceased's share is settled with legal heirs at an agreed valuation.
Expulsion requires a deed provision allowing it — the Partnership Act doesn't imply an expulsion power. We draft it where partners want it.
LLPs offer limited liability and separate legal identity; traditional firms are simpler and cheaper. We advise based on your risk profile and business nature.
Yes, as per your state's schedule. We compute and arrange it as part of the execution.
