Firm Registration in India

Registration of Partnership Firm in India

A partnership firm is an organization formed by two or more individuals with the intention of making a profit. Each member of such a group is known as partner, and the group as a whole is referred to as partnership firm. 1932’s Indian Partnership Act governs these businesses. It is a federal law administered by the states. All partners have unlimited liability in the business, a unique characteristic. The partners are severally and jointly responsible for the firm’s obligations and the payment of all debts. This means that even a partner’s personal assets can be liquidated to pay the firm’s debts. It may serve a temporary or permanent purpose. As such, a partnership agreement can be recorded. The terms LLC, Inc, PJSC, GMBC, PTE LTD, PVT LTD, and LTD are prohibited at the end of a company’s name. Certain words are not permitted in a company’s name. Refer to the Prevention of Names and Emblems Act regarding India.

We are able to apply for a PAN card and operate a business without registering the company. It may be registered with the District Registrar’s office to demonstrate to its customers that it is a registered business.

There must be two partners in order to register a Partnership. A non-resident Indian or foreign national may become a partner in the business, but at least one partner must be an Indian local resident.

Who should register a Partnership Firm:

Small business owners where additional capital is unnecessary.

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is one of the business concepts introduced by the Government of India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in 2008. In contrast to a traditional partnership, a limited liability partnership has limited liability for some or all of its partners. It exhibits the characteristics of both a partnership and a corporation. In an LLP, one partner is not responsible or liable for the negligence or misconduct of another partner.

The limited liability partnership is a legal entity and alternative business structure to the corporation. Its liability is limited to its total assets, whereas the partners’ liability is limited to their capital contributions. We can say that an LLP is a hybrid of a corporation and a partnership. The Government of India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs regulates LLP Registration. 2008 Limited Liability Partnership Act is the governing law for the LLP.

Who must register an LLP:

Those in search of traditional, brick-and-mortar businesses.

Why Must I Register My Partnership?

Listed below are the primary motives for registering a Partnership Firm.

Low Formation Cost:

At the time of incorporation, a Private Limited Company or Limited Liability Partnership incurs a significant amount of expenses, whereas a Partnership Firm can be formed with minimal expense and minimal paperwork. Registration of a Partnership Firm does not require a digital signature certificate. The annual compliance costs are significantly less than those of Private Limited Companies and Limited Liability Partnerships. A partnership is not required to submit or file documents annually with the Registrar of Firms. Whenever there is a change in the firm’s constitution, it must file paperwork with the Register.

Tax Audit & Income Split:

Income Tax Audit is not required for a Partnership Firm if its annual turnover is less than Rs. 1 Crore and Rs. 2 Crore in the case of the presumptive income scheme. There is the opportunity to split income, a significant advantage due to the tax savings that result. A maximum of sixty per cent of Book Profits may be distributed as compensation to the firm’s partners. The remuneration and interest paid to partners may be deducted when computing the firm’s income from  gains and profits from business and profession, subject to the limits prescribed by Section 40(b) of the Income Tax Act.The following table depicts the eligible retirement benefits payable to firm partners:

Flexibility:

The Partnership Deed can be drafted according to the desires of the firm’s partners. One partner may possess greater power than the others. One partner may take on the role of managing partner, overseeing marketing, finances, and day-to-day administration and business operations, while the other partner assists the managing partner. One partner may be authorized to manage the bank account, while the other serves as the sleeping partner.

Ownership, Control and Privacy:

Unlike a Corporation, a Partnership Firm’s control over business transaction decision-making is vested in the firm’s partners, and the financial information of the business is not accessible to third parties. The financials of a company are easily accessible via the MCA web portal.

Sharing of Losses:

The Partnership business structure is also relatively advantageous for small businesses, as profits and losses are shared among the firm’s partners. In the case of a Sole Proprietorship, the loss must be borne entirely by the sole proprietor, whereas in the case of a Partnership, it must be shared proportionally by both partners. Therefore, the partners may incur less loss compared to a sole proprietorship.

Registration Procedures for a Partnership

To register a Partnership Firm, there must be at least two major partners. A Non-Resident Alien or Foreign National may also become a partner in the business. A local partner should be one of the partners. Listed below are the Required Documents and Step-by-Step Registration Process for Businesses.
