04 January 2024 Hello All,

The partnership was formed with 2 partners when both partners were resident Indian citizens. The managing partner (and the one who brought in 90% of the capital) intends to go abroad possibly permanently, while the other partner will remain in India. Both partners will still remain Indian citizens.

So can the partnership carry on as earlier?

The deed may specify whether the absent partner retains an active role, the extent of decision-making powers, profit-sharing arrangements, etc.
