Under the Income Tax Act, a partnership firm is taxed as a distinct entity from its partners. Thers is no distinction in taxation between a registered and unregistered firm. However the firm must be evidenced by its partnership deed. A Partnership deed is the blue print of the rights and liabilities of the partners in respect to their right & liabilities, capital sharing, interest on capital, profit sharing, etc to the business.
The distinction between the registered and unregistered occurs in other Acts where the Registered Firms enjoys some priveleges over the Unregistered Firms. Like the Registered Firm can Sue the third party while the unregistered can't.
But taxation doesn't distinguish these two.

No consequences in Income Tax act irrespective of whether the partnership firm registered or not , the only requirment is it should be backed up by partnership deed.

I think you must execute the Deed stating RECONSTIUTTION OF FIRM in which both the partners can retire and the new one can admit to the firm at the same time. If you execute 2 different deeds than at the time of first execution i.e. Retirement Deed only 1 partner left which is not possible in Partnership firm.
So better to execute the Deed stating Reconstitution of Firm.
