Unlimited liability of partners
Indian Partnership Act, 1932 β€” fundamentally different from LLP's limited liability protection
βœ“ VERIFIED
A general partnership means each partner has unlimited personal liability for the business's debts β€” genuinely different from an LLP or Pvt Ltd company. If limited liability protection matters to you, this may not be the right structure; consider the Co-Founders Agreement (LLP) instead.
Before you sign this document:
1. Update the jurisdiction. This template is drafted with placeholder city/state fields β€” replace them with your own business's actual location, not any example city shown in the document.
2. Print on valid stamp paper. This PDF is a drafting template, not an executable legal document on its own. Under the Indian Stamp Act, most agreements need to be printed on physical stamp paper (or e-stamped) of the correct value for your state before signing β€” an unstamped agreement may be inadmissible as evidence until the deficiency is paid. Confirm the correct stamp duty and process for your state before execution.
