What Types of Partnership Firm in India?

Here are the different types of partnership firms in India:

General Partnership In a general partnership, all partners have unlimited liability and share equal rights and responsibilities in the management of the firm. Each partner is liable for the debts and obligations of the partnership.
Limited Partnership A limited partnership consists of both general partners and limited partners. General partners have unlimited liability and actively participate in the management of the firm. Limited partners, on the other hand, have limited liability and do not participate in day-to-day operations. They primarily contribute capital to the partnership.
