Dissolve a Partnership Firm
A partnership firm is dissolved by the partners themselves through a dissolution deed, not by MCA. The dissolution is recorded with the State Registrar of Firms via Form A, and the firm's accounts are settled and assets distributed per the deed.
What this filing does
A partnership firm is dissolved by the partners themselves through a dissolution deed, not by MCA. The dissolution is recorded with the State Registrar of Firms via Form A, and the firm's accounts are settled and assets distributed per the deed.

Frequently asked
What about pending creditors?+
All known creditors must be settled before dissolution, or the dissolution deed must specify how outstanding amounts will be paid. If creditors remain unpaid, partners are personally liable — partnership is unlimited liability.
Do all partners need to sign?+
Yes. Dissolution by mutual consent needs all partners' signatures. If a partner is missing or refuses, the route is dissolution by court order, which is much slower and falls outside our scope.
What about pending tax matters?+
Income-tax filings up to the dissolution date must still be filed by your CA. The firm's PAN is closed only after final tax filings are made and any outstanding tax is settled.
