This discussion addresses how to manage changes in a partnership firm when one partner retires and a new one joins. It clarifies that a single 'admission cum retirement deed' can be used to cover both events, rather than separate documents. The advice also confirms that changes in partnership are communicated to the Income Tax department when filing the Income Tax Return (ITR).
One of my friend is running a Partnership firm. He and another person were the partners. Now, that another person is retiring from the partnership and a new person is entering the partnership to join hands with my friend. The exclusion and inclusion of partners comes into effect from 01.04.2022. Can he make a single deed combining the outgoing partner and the incoming partner or a separate deed has to be made for each ? How should we communicate the change in the partnership to the income tax department ?
