GST Registration for Partnership Firms
A traditional partnership firm (registered or unregistered under the Indian Partnership Act) needs the partnership deed, PAN of the firm, and PAN/Aadhaar of all partners for GST registration. Unlike LLPs, a standard partnership firm doesn't require a DSC — Aadhaar e-sign by an authorised partner is sufficient.
Partnership deed
The deed establishes profit-sharing ratio, partner details, and business activity — required whether the firm is registered with the Registrar of Firms or not.
No DSC required
Aadhaar e-sign by any authorised partner works, unlike LLPs and companies.
Authorised signatory letter
A simple letter of authorisation naming which partner will sign and manage GST filings speeds up processing.
