A partnership firm is a business entity formed with the primary purpose of earning profit. It involves two or more parties who come together under a formal agreement, known as a Partnership Deed, to jointly own and manage the business. When the business objective is achieved or the partners decide to end the partnership, the firm must be dissolved.
Upon dissolution, the partnership’s business operations cease, and its affairs are wound up by selling assets, settling liabilities, and addressing the claims of the partners. The complete dissolution of the partnership involving all partners is known as the dissolution of the partnership firm. This process is typically formalized through a dissolution agreement between the partners.
When a partner initiates dissolution by suing another, the courts become involved. However, the court can only dissolve a firm that is registered with the Registrar of Firms. Therefore, an unregistered partnership firm cannot be dissolved by the court.
Court intervention may occur in cases where a partner is unable to fulfill their duties due to incapacity or unsoundness of mind, if a partner engages in misconduct that harms the business, or if there is repeated breach of the partnership agreement by a partner. In such situations, the court can step in to legally facilitate the dissolution of the partnership.
Partnership firms are typically dissolved through a dissolution agreement signed by all the partners. This agreement confirms the dissolution and ensures that all outstanding liabilities and accounts are mutually settled, eliminating the need for third-party involvement.
Dissolution may occur for various reasons, such as the insolvency of one or more partners, unlawful business activities conducted by a partner in the firm’s name, expiration of the partnership term, completion of the purpose for which the partnership was formed, the death of a partner, or the resignation of a partner. Additionally, a partnership can be dissolved if one partner sends a written notice of dissolution to all other partners.
All partners are required to submit their and the firms PAN number as identity proof.

The dissolution deed should include:
The date the partnership will cease trading, dissolve, and the process for winding up.
The actions partners are allowed or prohibited from undertaking between dissolution and winding up.
The return of documents, realization of assets, termination of contracts, and settlement of liabilities.
The preparation and approval of the final partnership accounts.
The distribution of remaining partnership funds after liabilities are settled.
The retention of partnership records.
The notification process for the dissolution.
First, the firm’s losses will be covered. The firm’s assets and partners’ capital contributions will be used to offset these losses.
Third-party debts are paid first, followed by repayment of any loans taken from partners.
Next, each partner is repaid their capital contribution in proportion to their share. Any remaining balance is distributed among partners according to their profit-sharing ratios.
All assets will be sold in the market, and the proceeds will be used to settle liabilities. Partners may also take over certain assets or liabilities, with adjustments made to their capital accounts accordingly.
Here’s a rewritten version of the points:
A partnership created for a fixed term dissolves automatically when that term expires.
If formed for a specific task or objective, the partnership ends once the task is completed or the objective is achieved.
Upon the death of a partner, the partnership generally ends unless the agreement—explicitly or implicitly—states otherwise.
The partners are liable to the third parties for any act done before the dissolution. The liability of a partner finishes when all the event are finished that has been taken up before the dissolution of the firm until public notice is given of the dissolution.
Each partner is entitled to equal rights unless otherwise specified in the contract. All partners have the right to the firm’s property, which is used to pay debts and liabilities, with any remaining surplus distributed among the partners or their representatives according to their respective shares. These rights apply during the winding-up process of the firm.
Dissolution of a partnership occurs when a partner ceases to be associated with the business, whereas dissolution of a firm is the winding up the business.
