A "Partnership" refers to a relationship formed between two or more individuals who have mutually decided to distribute the earnings from a business operated by all participants or any individual acting on behalf of the group. Multiple parties unite through a formal contract (referred to as a Partnership Deed) that clearly outlines the responsibilities, obligations, and ownership percentage of each participant. Individuals who have consented to form a partnership are termed "PARTNERS" and together constitute a "FIRM." The liabilities and duties are distributed among all Partners. In India, partnerships operate under the regulations of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. This legislation establishes the framework for Partnership Firms by offering comprehensive guidelines for their operation. The Act recognises the legitimacy of both registered and unregistered partnership entities within India.

A partnership firm can be registered whether at the time of its formation or even subsequently. The application for registration is to be made to the registrar of firms of the region in which the business is located. It is advisable to get the firm registered as soon as it starts its business to avail the rights and benefits that can be enjoyed only by a registered firm.
As per the Partnership Act, both registered and unregistered partnerships are valid and recognised by law. Partnership registration is not compulsory. Mostly, the businesses at initial level prefer unregistered partnership till they reach stable level. The unregistered partnership can be registered at any time after its formation.
If the Partnership is not registered, the firm cannot file suit against any partner or the third party. A partner also cannot sue the partnership firm for his claim.
Only a registered partnership firm can claim a set off (ie. mutual adjustment of debts owned by the disputant parties to one another) or other proceedings in a dispute with a third party. Also, only a registered partnership firm can file a suit in any court against the firm or other Partners for the enforcement of any right arising from a contract or rights conferred by the Partnership Act. It is therefore advisable for Partnership Firms to get it registered.An unregistered Partnership Firm can get registered at any point of time after its establishment.
Formation of Partnership Firm does not require any minimum amount. It can be started with any amount of capital contribution by the partners. The Partners can contribute any amount agreed amongst themselves and in any tangible form (cash, land, office space etc.) or intangible (goodwill, intellectual property). The Partners can introduce capital in any ratio, equal or uneven.
