Answer:
PARTNERSHIP DEED-
A Partnership Agreement is an agreement between two or more individuals who would like to manage and operate a business together in order to make a profit. It is a relatively common business structure in India, and can be contrasted to other common business structures such as a sole proprietor, a company or a trust.
In a partnership, several partners are able to work together (unlike a sole proprietor). Each partner shares a portion of the partnership's profits and losses and each partner is personally liable for the debts and obligations of the partnership.
Compared to a company or a trust, a partnership can have lower set up and administration costs. However, while companies and trusts offer some protections against liability, a partnership does not. A partnership is not a separate entity from the partners. If the partnership incurs a liability, the partners are personally responsible for it. Furthermore, a partner can become liable for debts that another partner has incurred on behalf of the partnership.
