Managing Partner

For a small Partnership firm with only 2 partners, can it be mentioned on the partnership deed that both of them are managing partners.

Will this be in violation to any of the laws prevailing in India??

There is a requirement for Travel agent licensing that only Managing Partner can apply for the license.

 

Thank you.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a small partnership firm in India with two partners can legally designate both as 'Managing Partners' on their partnership deed. The core issue stems from a travel agent licensing requirement that only a Managing Partner can apply. It's clarified that while both can be active partners, naming both as 'Managing Partner' might not be feasible for licensing purposes. The advice suggests naming both as general/active partners and having one apply for the license.

No.....

hi, thanks for your reply.

 

is it a no for the first question or the second one.

For both queries

Thanks for your prompt reply, I guess it will be best then to mention both as general/ active partners and apply license on the name of one partner.

Active/Managing Partner

An active partner mainly takes part in the day-to-day running of the business and also takes active participation in the conduct and management of the business firm. He carries the daily business activities on behalf of other partners. He may act in different capacities such as manager, advisor, organiser and controller of affairs of the firm. To be precise, he acts as an agent of all the other partners in order to run main functions pertaining to business. Furthermore, subject to the clause in the partnership deed, the active partner can withdraw remuneration from the firm

With regards to his role in the partnership, his role is of utmost importance. Therefore, if at all he wishes to retire from the partnership firm he must give a public notice about his decision. He gives a public notice in order to absolve himself from liability and acts done by the other partner. If he doesn’t issue a public notice declaring his retirement he would be held liable for the acts done by other partners post-retirement also.
