clarification regarding the potential inclusion of "(Registered)" in our GST trade name, specifically to align with Section 59(2) of the Partnership Act 1932, which stipulates that "The firm, which is registered, shall use the brackets and word (Registered) immediately after its name," for invoicing compliance. Our partnership firm is in the process of registration with the Registrar of Firms. We are considering the inclusion of "(Registered)" immediately after our firm's name in our GST trade name to comply with Section 59(2) of the Partnership Act 1932, ensuring our invoicing practices meet the legal requirements.Importantly, upon completion, the registration certificate issued by the Registrar of Firms is expected to reflect our original firm name without the "(Registered)" suffix. It's essential to note that the legal name in our PAN details would not change and remains aligned with the original firm name submitted during the registration process.This inquiry seeks guidance on the feasibility and process of including "(Registered)" in our GST trade name exclusively for issuing compliant invoices as per Section 59(2) of the Partnership Act 1932, while maintaining consistency with our legal name based on PAN details.
