Hi
Thank you for the reply.
Apart from the Income tax part, we have to address the stamp duty on the assets of the company on conversion. The same too covered there?
Whether a Partnership can be converted and registered under the provisions of section 565(1) 567 etc. of the Companies Act, 1956?
Pls. advice
regards,
