The Indian Partnership Act, 1932, governs the formation, operation, and dissolution of partnership firms in India. It defines partnerships, the rights, and duties of partners, profit-sharing ratios, and registration requirements. The act also addresses the liabilities of partners, including unlimited, limited, and nominal partners. It establishes the dissolution and winding up of partnerships and outlines the consequences of non-registration. The law promotes clarity and fairness in business relationships, enabling individuals to engage in commerce as partners while specifying their responsibilities and liabilities. It plays a vital role in regulating partnerships and encouraging business ventures in India.
