Section 565 of the Companies Act, 1956 provides that any company formed in pursuance of any Act of Parliament or any other Indian Law other than the Companies Act, 1956; consisting of seven or more members may at any time register itself under this Act, either as an unlimited company or as a company limited by shares or limited by guarantee.

I think the minimum number of members is 2 to form a private limited company.

Thanks for replying but yet not satisfied.

While converting Partnership firm into Private limited company,there are certain  condition where atleast 7 partner are required.  

Still my question is, it is possible to convert Partnership firm into Private limited company with 3 partners.

 

No, there should be 8 partners in the firm then only a court can consider it as an unregistered Company.
