Under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, the introduction (induction) of a new partner is governed by Section 31 and requires the consent of all existing partners.
However, dissolution of a firm—meaning complete termination of the partnership—occurs differently depending on the circumstances:
Mode of Dissolution Applicable Section Description
Mutual Agreement Section 40 All partners agree to dissolve.
Compulsory Dissolution Section 41 On insolvency or illegality.
Contingent Events Section 42 Death, insolvency of partner, term expiry, project completion.
Notice (Partnership at Will) Section 43 Any partner gives written notice.
Court Order Section 44 On grounds like misconduct, incapacity, loss, etc.
Even after dissolution, partners can be held liable for firm acts until public notice is issued, and retain the authority to wind up pending matters (Sections 45–47).
Settlement of accounts post-dissolution must follow the specific priority framework laid out in Section 48.
Note: Induction of a new partner (reconstitution) does not dissolve the firm—it continues under the same identity with new composition.
