Learn about Partnership Deeds and how to make changes to them.

The Partnership Deed serves as the core document that regulates a partnership firm’s operations and activities. Partners must operate strictly within the scope outlined in the deed. To modify, expand, or restrict the business activities, the partnership agreement needs to be updated.

Amendments are carried out by executing a Supplementary Deed, which acts as an addendum to the original Partnership Deed. Payment of the required stamp duty is mandatory. For registered partnership firms, the Supplementary Deed must also be filed with the Registrar of Firms.

Reasons of change in Partnership Deed

Change of Partners and rights and responsibilities

One of the primary reasons for amending a partnership deed is a change in the composition of partners. As the business expands, a new partner may be added, or an existing partner may leave due to resignation, removal, or death. In every such scenario—whether it’s the appointment, addition, or exit of a partner—a Supplementary Partnership Deed must be executed to formally document these changes.

Change Business Activity or name

As stated, a partnership firm must operate strictly within the boundaries set by its partnership agreement. If partners intend to take up new business activities, the business clause in the partnership deed needs to be updated accordingly. Likewise, the deed can be amended to narrow the scope by removing activities that are no longer being pursued.

Change capital and profit sharing ratio

Capital is crucial for business expansion, and partners anticipate returns on their contributions. To support growth or other requirements, the capital may be increased, which can result in adjustments to profit-sharing or ownership ratios. Implementing these changes necessitates amending the partnership deed and paying the applicable stamp duty to the authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once the deed is drafted by professionals and approved by the partners, the applicable stamp duty must be paid. The deed is then notarized and signed by all partners, indicating their formal consent to the changes.
Stamp duty varies according to the applicable State laws and is calculated based on the capital contribution involved in the change. If there is no change in capital, the Supplementary Deed can be executed with a stamp duty of ₹100, which is included in the package cost. Any additional stamp duty beyond this amount must be paid separately.
If the original partnership deed is duly registered with Registrar of Firms, then any modifications must also be notified to the RoF after its execution.
The changes will be effective after signature of partners and notary on the deed. If a partnership deed is registered, the certificate of modification must be obtained after execution.
The addition of a new partner must follow the procedure outlined in the existing Partnership Deed. The incoming partner must meet any eligibility criteria specified in the deed. The amended Partnership Deed should clearly reflect the change, including the date of admission and the terms and conditions of the partner’s joining.
A resigning partner must first inform the existing partners of their intent to resign through a formal resignation letter. The notice period should align with the terms specified in the Partnership Deed. Additionally, all partners—including the exiting partner—must execute a Supplementary Deed outlining the terms, conditions, and details of the partner’s exit.
For addition or branch place or new principal office, a supplementary partnership deed for a change of address must be executed in a manner explained in the first FAQ.
Business activities can be modified or updated based on mutual agreement among the partners. Simply communicate the proposed changes or new activities to your assigned executive, and the rest will be handled and formalized through a Supplementary Deed.

The name of a partnership firm can be changed with the unanimous consent of all partners, as it constitutes a change in the firm’s constitution. After executing the change, the firm must update its name across all registrations, including the PAN card. Please note that PAN update services are not included in the current package.
