For partnership firms
Running a partnership firm? Your work is tax, not ROC forms.
Partners in a firm often ask the same question: what do we owe, if there is no ROC? A partnership firm has no filings with the Registrar of Companies, so the ₹100 a day late fee never applies to you. What you do owe is the firm's own income tax return, plus GST and TDS where they apply. Above a turnover limit, a tax audit too. The part most often wrong is partner salary. The firm can deduct it only within limits, and only if the deed allows it. We keep the books, file the returns, and read your deed before anyone gets paid.
- Every filing is checked before you approve it
- A reply the same working day
- One fixed fee a month
What is different for you
The rules that apply because of how you are registered.
Your filings run through the tax department.
Income tax, GST and TDS. Not the Registrar of Companies. Only companies and LLPs carry the ₹100 a day per form fee.
The firm files its own return.
A partnership firm is a separate taxpayer from its partners. The firm's return and each partner's return are different filings.
Partner salary has a ceiling.
Salary and interest paid to partners can be deducted only up to the limits in the tax law, and only if the deed allows them. Anything above is added back and taxed.
A tax audit above the turnover limit.
Once turnover crosses the limit, the firm needs a tax audit. Below it, none.
GST and TDS work as normal.
GST registration once you cross the threshold, or from the first sale if you sell goods to other states or on a marketplace. TDS from the point your turnover makes you liable to deduct.
Your deed is the rulebook.
Profit shares, salary and interest all follow it. A deed nobody has updated in years is a live risk.
What we do for you
Every month, this is what we take over.
- Books every month. Including each partner's capital and current account, updated monthly, so profit shares are never a year-end guess.
- The firm's income tax return. Prepared from closed books, with partner salary and interest worked out within the limits.
- GST and TDS. Filed on time, with your approval before each one.
- We read your deed. And tell you if what is being paid does not match what it allows. Almost nobody does this check.
- Routine notices are ours to handle. Forward it on WhatsApp. It is inside the fee.
For a partnership firm the risk sits in the tax return and in partner pay, not in a filing calendar.

Questions
Things people in your position ask.
Does a partnership firm file with the ROC?
No. A partnership firm's filings sit with the tax department, not the Registrar of Companies. That removes the ₹100 a day per form late fee entirely. It is the single biggest cost difference between a firm and an LLP.
How much can we pay ourselves as partners?
As much as you like commercially. But the firm can deduct only a limited amount, and only if your deed allows it. Pay above the limit and the extra is added back to the firm's income and taxed, while still being taxed in your hands. We work out the allowed figure before it is paid, not after.
Do we need to register the partnership?
Registration affects whether your firm can enforce its contracts in court. An unregistered firm is limited there, which matters if you end up in a dispute. We will flag it when we see it. The decision itself belongs with your lawyer.
Is a partnership taxed better than a company?
It depends on how much you take out and how. A company pays tax on its profit, and you are taxed again when you take money out. A firm's profit is taxed once, and partner salary is deductible within limits. We run both on your numbers and show you the difference.
