As the clause of merger generally inserted in Partnership-deed and a firm has taken its decision accordingly and MOU has also been entered so no permission is required from any other statutory authority to move forward, however, it is mandatory to inform registrar of Firms and Societies of your area in writing as well as all concerned parties/persons to avoid further consequences.
