Understanding Partnership GST

The Firm vs. The Partners

Unlike a Proprietorship, a Partnership Firm is a separate legal entity in the eyes of tax laws. This means the GST registration is done in the name of the "Firm", not any single partner.

Crucial Requirement: The Firm must have its own PAN Card. You cannot use the personal PAN of any partner for the firm's registration.

Mandatory Checklist

MUST HAVE

1. Partnership Deed A written agreement on stamp paper defining profit sharing ratio and partner roles.

MUST HAVE

2. Firm PAN Card A separate PAN card issued by Income Tax Dept in the name of the Firm.

2. Is Partnership Deed registration mandatory?

For GST, a notarized deed is sufficient. However, registering with the Registrar of Firms is recommended for legal rights.

3. Who is the Authorized Signatory?

Any one partner can be nominated as the Authorized Signatory to sign the GST application via Aadhaar OTP. Other partners' details are also added.

Yes, if one of the partners owns the home, they can issue a Consent Letter (NOC) to the firm. We assist with this drafting.

5. Can husband and wife be partners?

Yes, spouses can form a valid partnership firm by executing a deed. This is common for family businesses.

6. What if a partner leaves?
