It consist of all the terms & condition agreed by the respective partners ie, their capital introduced, profit sharing ratio, kind of partners, about the nature of business, working of the firm, dissolution/liquidation of the firm& so on.
Initially the process of registration in the state of Maharashtra was done manually and not system driven, however recently this process has changed to online in Maharashtra.

2. To Raise Form A (application for Registration)
• In Firm Management Tab click Raise Form “A”.
• Fill in the required information, like Partnership name, Business Address, etc
• Fill the column in Marathi properly by conversion in marathi.
E.g. (a) for Providing Service one should type seva puravine

• Click on the Option ADD PARTNERS to add the partners & fill in his/her respective details, check whether the partner is a major or a minor.

1. Certified True Copy of Partnership Deed (Certified by C.A. or Advocate).

3. Blank Stamp Paper of Rs. 10/- in the name of Partner or firm.
4. Authority letter signed by all partners if documents are submitted by C.A. or Advocate.
5. Covering letter with Rs.5/- Court Fee Stamp.
6. Demand Draft of Rs. 1600/- in favour of Registration of firms of your Area
• Click Submit Tab.
• Take print out of Form “A” on Green Ledger Paper.
• Sign Before designated authority like Notary & submit the attested form along with all the above documents to the designated office of Registrar.
• Bandra office address: Registration of firms, Maharashtra state, Mumbai, new administrative building, 6th floor, near Chetna college, government colony, Labour court, near Babasaheb Ambedkar Udyan Mumbai- 400051, contact no- 26551149/26559881.
• Get the documents verified by the person sitting on the counter.
• Note: behind the DD any one partners name and contact number is to be mentioned.
• After he/she ticks it as OK you can submit the DD and all the required documents to the respective person and get the acknowledgement on the copy of covering letter and authority letter. Along with this acknowledgement of DD paid ie Rs 750 will be provided. Registration procedure is completed at this stage.
The Biggest Challenge is to convert in Marathi language in the software which the website operates. The site is slow, key board provided in Marathi is not user friendly. Substantial time is taken to understand keys and punch it error free.

It is nice that the Maha Govt. has started online registration of firms. Karnataka which boast of Information Technology Founder is still to implement the same. If fact the Offices of Registrar of Firms at District lever are meant only to harass the people and collect money. They demand many documents, collect exorbitant scanning fees apart from registration fees. They also harass the applicant that since the firm has fixed assets one has to pay stamp duty on the value of the property. On agreeing to pay the bribe they donot insist for the stamp duty. It is a nightmare to register a firm in Karnataka.
