Section 14 in The Indian Partnership Act, 1932

Unless the contrary intention appears, property and rights and interests in property acquired with money belonging to the firm are deemed to have been acquired for the firm.

Yes, a Registered Partnership Firm can purchase land and building (property) in its name. In India, a partnership firm registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, is considered a separate legal entity from its partners. As such, it can own assets, including immovable properties like land and buildings. The partnership deed should authorize the firm to acquire and own immovable properties. A resolution should be passed by the partners authorizing the purchase of the property.
