  • A partnership deed is a contractual agreement between partners that defines their rights, duties, and obligations.

  • As per the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, any change in the terms of the partnership deed (such as profit-sharing ratio, capital contribution, interest, etc.) requires the mutual consent of all partners.
