What You Risk by Staying Unregistered
Registration is optional in most of India, except Maharashtra and Gujarat where it is mandatory. But an unregistered firm loses real legal rights under Section 69 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932.
Cannot sue to enforce the deed
Cannot claim a set off in a dispute
Partners cannot sue each other
Cannot recover dues from a client in court
Registering your firm properly protects rights you may need to use one day.
