We have started the partnership firm (including me and other one) in 2010 and did the below process as of now.
1. We have prepared the partnership contract details on stamp paper and for the same we did the notary (included our firm's name).
2. Registered our firms name and address with local town’s municipality.
3. Procured the CST/GST number on basis of above document.
4. Procured PAN number of our firm.
5. Opened current account with nationalized bank of our firm.
As my other partner is not doing much activity so I want to remove him and include other but I want to keep the firm name same as it is as well as CST/GST number, PAN Number and bank account.
For your information, we have not registered the partnership firm with registrar office and with district industrial center (as SME or SSI unit). But now we are looking for those processes also.

Add one or more partner in addition to present (2) partners by way of change in constitution, then again reconstitute the firm for withdrawal of inactive partner. Inform the changes to related Departments, as per provisions applicable. If there are only two partners and one retires firm will stand dissolved. Regarding registration of firm the provisions differs state wise.

Mr Author, If there are only two partners an one is asked toretire then the status of the firm will change from partnership into proprietorship. Then you will have to apply for registration again by cancelling/surrendering th old RC under VAT and cST Acts....MJK

Many thanks all experts for your advice.
For your information, we have not registered the partnership firm with registrar office and with district industrial center (as SME or SSI unit).
So now what I understand for your advise is that I have to follow below steps.
1. Prepare a legal document which includes removing the current partner (it is not registered with registrar). 2. Prepare a legal document which includes adding new two partner. 3. Register the partnership firm with registrar. 4. Inform to PAN and VAT departments including Bank regarding the same.
Please correct if I am going in different direction.

First add the new partners and in second step remove the old existing partner. Provisions and procedures in different states are different.
