What is Change In Partnership Deed?
A Partnership Deed is the legal document that defines the rights, duties, and profit-sharing ratios of partners in a partnership firm. Over time, business needs may require modification in the deed—such as changes in capital contribution, admission or retirement of partners, change in profit ratio, or alteration of business activities.
Any such change must be documented through a Supplementary Partnership Deed and, if the firm is registered, must be filed with the Registrar of Firms to ensure legal recognition.
