Is Registration necessary if a firm is dissolved ?

P.Muthusamy (Querist) 21 January 2009 This query is : Resolved
We five brothers were running a partnership firm ( Hotel Business) bequeathed by our father by a will.

The firm was dissolved after running it for fourteen years, after signing a deed of dissolution which was not registered.

Is it mandatory to register the deed.

Dear Muthuswamy
As per law the registration of partnership firm is not compulsory and the same is optional. Hence, the deed of Dissolution does not required to be registered.
