Partnership Firm Registration is the legal process of registering a business owned by two or more partners under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. It clearly defines each partner’s role, profit-sharing ratio, and responsibilities. While registration is not mandatory by law, only registered firms receive full legal protection and recognition.
