registration of firms under companies act


24 January 2009 Partnership Act 1932 says that registration of firms is not compulsory but to get the benefits of registration the firm can be registered with the registrar of firms.
Companies act 1956 says that if the in a firm no. of partners exceeds d maximum limit which is 10 for Banking co. n 20 for other firms then d said firm has to get itself registered under the companies act with the ROC otherwise it will b classified as an illegal association (Sec. 11).
Can it b concluded that a partnership firm can be registered under partnership act if no. of partners fall within d max. limit.
Kindly help.

24 January 2009 Yes. A firm can not be registered with more than 10 for banking related firm and 20 for other firms.

However there is other opition if there are more than 20 memebers.

Create two firms with equal number of members. Create third firm with two partnership firms as a partner.

Beacasue in a firm, an individual or company or firm can be a partner.
