registering of change in partners

non registration does not make ur parnerhip invalid so just normally exit the said parner from the firm provided all these provisions are there in the partnership deed.

i do agree with my friend.

do exit through written instrument and all the liabilities and other gains must be settled to avoid any trouble.

Exit must also be accompanied with public notice, so that no third party liability arise after retirement from partnership.

This is a case of Reconstitution of the partneship firm and does not need registration. But the public notice should be given according to section 72 of the partnership act so that the retired partners will not be held liable for the acts of the firm against the third party.

 Also make note of the following sections regarding intimation to the Registrar about reconstitution and the penalty for failure to do so.

63. RECORDING OF CHANGES IN AND DISSOLUTION OF A FIRM. 





When a change occurs in the constitution of a registered firm, every incoming, continuing or outgoing partner, and when a registered firm is dissolved, every person who was a partner immediately before the dissolution, or the agent of every such partner or person specially authorised in this behalf shall, within a period of 90 days from the date of such change or dissolution, given notice to the Registrar of such change or dissolution, specifying the date thereof; and the Registrar shall a record of the notice in the entry relating to the firm in the Registrar of Firms and shall file the notice along with statement relating to the firm filed under section 59.

Respected Prakash Sir,

I bow my head before u. Rally ur knowledge shows that u r very hard working person.

Sir, I want 2 tell u something that till today I had never taken any type of help from any lawyer. I've learnt from books bcoz my opinion was that seniors don't help to juniors, but u wash my mind.

Can I say u Boss?

 In a Deed of Retirement, certain partners retired and were given certain immovable properties as their share. This happened in Bangalore. Does this deed require payment of stamp duty an registration under Karnataka law without which it will not be accepable as evidence in a court and deed cannot ne enforced.

Any comments?
