- A partnership firm is a group of people who come together to run a business.
- A partnership agreement is a contract between two or more people who agree to work together to run a business.
- It specifies the agreed-upon portion of the earnings from the business that may be carried out by all or any of them on behalf of others.
- The agreement might be verbal or written.
- A partnership agreement in writing is not legally binding under the Partnership Act of 1932.
- However, having the agreement in writing is essential to minimise misunderstandings and disputes between the parties.
- Another reason for having it in writing is that it aids in the resolution of disputes because written agreements are frequently used as a reference point.
- The court will accept as evidence a written deed that has been lawfully signed and registered under the Partnership Act.
