"P" owns a proprietorship concern XYZ from past many years and is doing his business. Now he enters into partnership agreement with "S" and they form a partnership firm with same name XYZ in February 2017. P states that he has transferred all his assets and liabilities to the firm but that is not documented in the partnership agreement. Further the partnership agreement is not registered also. P and S hold 50:50 share in the partnership firm. The queries are as following:

1. Can a proprietorship and partnership have same name XYZ?

2. What are the consequences of non registration of partnership firm?

3. Although P says he has transferred his assets and liabilities but since they are not documented can we consider this deed valid?

4. Does transferring all assets and liabilities of proprietorship concern in partnership means dissolution of the Proprietorship concern (i.e. it cease to exist)??

5. Will the turnover of Proprietorship after its transfer / dissolution be treated as turnover of partnership from February 2017 legally?

respected sir/mam,

i couldnt understand the phrase: a note payable to the maker is not a promissorynote unless it is endorsed by the maker.

can u please help me?

We have a partnership firm and the partners have decided to convert it to a Private Limited for expansion of business. Since there are only three partners it could not be converted, as 7 partners are required for conversion.

Now here are my doubts.
1. Can a private limited be formed by the existing three partners to take over the existing firm? Any case laws to support such decisions?
2. Will Capital gain arise out of such transfer?

It will be great if someone can throw a light on these matters.

i did agreement in September for sale of rs 10L. At that time I received advance of 1L, rest payment was due on 30 Nov.
It was mentioned in agreement that default in payment on 30 Nov Will entitle the seller to forfiet earnest money of 1 L.
In Oct and Nov, received 1L each month but purchaser defaulted on 30 Nov.
In Dec, I sent the legal notice through advocate stating that I have received 3 L earnest money and pay the balance money within 15 days otherwise 3L will be forfieted and agreement will be cancelled.
No reply received from the purchaser till now.
Can I legally forfiet the 3L money and sell the property to another.
