Partnership liability of sleeping partner (Urgent)

Partners are jointly and sevearly liable.It does not make a difference whether u r sleeping ,dormat or active....

you can give address of ur residence in ur partnership deed, that will become registered address of ur business.  under section 11 of act, ur rights and liability can be determine by a contract amoung partners.

once your partnership is converted in to private ltd, then you will either be a member/shareholder by purchasing the shares of the company or you can opt to become a director with the consent but you can term yourself as a full fledged partner

* but you cannot term yourself as a partner on its conversion

Hi All,

Thank you very much for the immediate replies. Can I go for the Limited Liability Partnership?

u may explore that option wherein u can get ur liabilities limited.LLP is a hybrid of both Partnership and Company and it may just work well for you..

I like the posting of Nishad " whether you are sleeping, dormant or active"

For Manasi

What is your main aim "to rent your house or to become a Partner"

Renting of house with out big liability is possible but once you are partner in a business you have to own all the liabilities for the act done by any of your partner so take care.

For Mr SC Jain

You dont have much risk if you working with a reputed company, however entire risk will depend on the content of your partnership.

Why you want to be a partner. Just execute a lease deed of the premises for which you can earn & also will have the termination clauses for your safety.

If you wish to establish your own firm, go for LLP as it is easy to form & is a hybrid of partnership & pvt ltd co. But be sure, compliances to be ensured each financial ear to keep it running & out of legal trouble.

A sleeping partner is a partner who ‘sleeps’, that is, he does not take active part in the management of the business. Such a partner only contributes to the share capital of the firm, is bound by the activities of other partners, and shares the profits and losses of the business. A sleeping partner, unlike an active partner, is not required to give a public notice of his retirement. As such, he will not be liable to third parties for the acts done after his retirement.

As per the Section10 of the indian partnership act 1932  DUTY TO INDEMNIFY FOR LOSS CAUSED BY FRAUD. Every partner shall indemnify the firm for any loss caused to it by his fraud in the conduct of the business of the firm
