GST Registration for Partnership Firms
A traditional partnership firm, registered or unregistered under the Indian Partnership Act, needs the partnership deed, firm PAN, and PAN/Aadhaar of all partners for GST registration. Unlike LLPs, a standard partnership firm doesn't need a DSC. Aadhaar e-sign by an authorised partner is enough.
Partnership deed
The deed sets out the profit-sharing ratio, partner details, and business activity. It's required whether or not the firm is registered with the Registrar of Firms.
No DSC required
Aadhaar e-sign by any authorised partner works, unlike with LLPs and companies.
Authorised signatory letter
A short letter naming which partner will sign and manage GST filings speeds up processing.
