Dear Sir/ Madam,
Please advice on the small query -
Since I need to apply for Partnership PAN, i need to upload partnership deed, but this partnership deed doesn't have witness signatures.
Please advice do witness signature is important in partnership deed and will it be accepted by PAN authority if witness signature is not available on partnership deed.
Thank you.
With Regards,

As per me Partnership needs to be registered. Witnessing is not be important.

Apart from partners signatures a Deed of partnership must be signed by at least two independent witnesses. Whether it is signed by independent witnesses or nor PAN will accept Partnership Deed ..According to my reference work even in case of unregistered partnership PAN will accept partnership Deed.
