Dissolve a Partnership Firm

A partnership firm is dissolved by the partners themselves through a dissolution deed, not by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The dissolution is then recorded with the state Registrar of Firms, and the firm's accounts are settled and its assets distributed in line with the deed.

Overview

What this filing does

A partnership firm is dissolved by the partners themselves through a dissolution deed, not by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The dissolution is then recorded with the state Registrar of Firms, and the firm's accounts are settled and its assets distributed in line with the deed.

The dissolution deed is drafted, the change-form is filed with the Registrar of Firms, and a closure pack is issued covering the firm's GST, import-export code (if any), bank account, and other operating registrations.

When you need this

Common reasons founders engage this

  • All partners agree to dissolve the firm by mutual consent.
  • The fixed term of the partnership has ended.
  • The venture the firm was set up for has been completed.
  • A partner has died or become insolvent, and the deed treats that as a dissolution event.
From your side

Documents you will need to send

Most of these can be scanned or photographed from your phone. Everything required is listed in the checklist sent the same day, so nothing is collected later as a surprise.

  • The existing Partnership Deed and any supplementary deeds.
  • A final balance sheet showing assets, liabilities, and each partner's capital.
  • A settlement statement showing how the assets and liabilities are to be distributed.
  • PAN of the firm, and GST and other registration certificates.
