  I am new member to Lawyers club India. I have some queries regarding conversion proprietorship firm into a partnership frim.If the partners do not want to contribute any money during formation of the partnership firm from proprietorship firm, will the partnership still be valid.Only the proprietor invest his proprietorship firm capital in new partnership firm.Please explain in details.Thanks.......

It is valid,the partnership agreeement has to state the capital contribution and share distribution from all the partners.

I would like to know if the capital was contributed only by one partner who had the proprietorship firm, then share can be equally distributed among all the partners or there is any dependency with capital contribution of each partner with share.If in future any litigation arise can I claim the major share.

as far as i know a proprietorship concern cannot convert to a partnership firm. u hav to close this registration and apply a new one . pl confirm it with your commercial tax off.

Regarding query of Mr. Shiv Kumar

The prosedure informed by Mr. A.V. Vishal is correct and as per law.

Regarding query of Ms. Susmita Sinha

The capital contribution and profit sharing are two diffrent issues. The person not investing any capital may get the major share in the profits of the firm. There is no bar.

What happens in the following situation:

I have been running a partnership business since 1 year. but i never got it registered and never did any documentation. Continued the business as Sole Propriertership.

Now i wish to fix things up. How can i do documentation back 1 year and state that the partnership was formed in April 2013 but no documentation/registeration was done till now. How do i rectify this?
