This discussion addresses how to add a new nature of business, such as retail, to an existing partnership firm initially registered for construction. It explains that changes to the partnership deed require a supplementary deed with appropriate stamp duty, which must be registered if the firm is already registered with the Registrar of Firms. The process for updating the GST registration to include the new business nature with an effective date is also outlined.

The changes in Partnership deed are made by execution of a supplementary deed which is an addendum to the original partnership deed. Payment of appropriate stamp duty is a must for said deed. The registration of the supplementary deed would be compulsory if the firm is already registered with Registrar of Firm. In the existing GST registration add additional business with effective date.
