Best Answer

A Partnership firm is not subject to excessive legal restrictions; therefore it enjoys freedom in administration. It is not required to file its annual accounts with the Registrar each year unlike a Limited Liability Partnership or Company. It can be easily dissolved. Any partner can give 14 days' notice to other partners and dissolve the firm with the consent of other partners. There is no requirement for audit of the accounts of a partnership firm annually as a Partnership firm is not required to file audited financial statements with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs each year. However, tax audit may be required for a Partnership firm if the turnover exceeds prescribed limits.
