Understanding the Concept

Dissolution of Partnership vs Dissolution of Firm:

  • Dissolution of Partnership: When one or more partners leave or join, but the firm continues with remaining partners
  • Dissolution of Firm: When partnership is dissolved between all partners and the firm ceases to exist

Legal Reference

Section 39 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 specifically defines:

"The dissolution of partnership between all the partners of a firm is called the dissolution of the firm."
