Sir, Please guide,
ABC is Partnership Firm (Service Tax No. 123), there were 2 Partners 'X' & 'Y'. "Y" retired from Partnership Firm, they made Dissolution of Partnership Deed on 15.5.2012. Now "X" wants to introduce or take new Partner i.e. "Z" in the same Firm.
What should "X" do?
Thanks

For constituting a firm, at least two partners are required all the times. Once it is discontinued, the firm dissolves and it cannot be a continuing entity afterwards. However, a new firm can be constituted as suggested by A. V. Vishal.

1. cancel the dissolution deed with written consent of outgoing partner.
2. Induct the new partner before the outgoing partner exit.
3. take the resignation of the outgoing partner.
4. thus out of 3 partner one partner resigned and two partners carry on the business as firm.

You stated that dissolution Deed was made. This dissolution would have stated that which partner would keep the name and goodwill of the firm and what will be the constitution of the firm.
Most likely that single partner, would be running the firm under the same name as the proprietorship firm. The retiree partner will have no bar now.

Dr Gopinath,
Can you please enlighten me the procedure to cancel the dissolution deed. Secondly what if the registrar of firms has already been intimated about the said dissolution what is the procedure to be adopted in such cases since the name is already struck off from the register.

since the name of the firm has already been scored out of the register, only option left is to constitute a new partnership firm

On the dissolution of the firm, if X is carrying on the business, he is doing so as sole proprietor. Hence if he wants to induct a new person as his partner X will have to execute a new partnership deed. Dont follow the route of cancellation of dissolution deed, as it has already come into force.

if the dissolution deed has already been with the Registrar, then go for new partnership deed by starting a new firm ..
