Frequently asked
Is a partnership firm registered with MCA?+
No — partnership firms are registered with the State Registrar of Firms, not MCA. MCA only deals with companies and LLPs.
What if our firm was never registered with the Registrar of Firms?+
Many small partnerships operate as unregistered firms. Unregistered firms have a few legal disadvantages (limited ability to sue) but are still legally valid. If you want, we can register the firm first, then file the supplementary deed.
How long does Registrar approval usually take?+
Varies by State. Maharashtra and Karnataka are faster (1–2 weeks). Some States take 4–6 weeks. We'll set expectations once we know your State.
