Overview

Partnership firms are formed by two or more parties who agree to share the responsibilities and profits or losses incurred by a business. They agree to do so over an oral or written agreement called a partnership deed. Since a verbal agreement has no validity for tax purposes, most partnership firms have a written, legally-valid partnership deed in place before starting the business. The registration, working and regulation of Partnership firms fall under the purview of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. However, to file taxes, the partnership firm must register with the IT Department and possess a valid PAN card. In this article, we will take a look at how the PAN card is useful for a partnership firm, and what firms can do to apply for one.
