Partnership Deed Registration in Bangladesh in 2023

Partnership Deed Registration in Bangladesh in 2023

Partnership Deed Registration in Bangladesh

A partnership is a commercial arrangement in which two or more partners form an entity to do business. For Partnership Deed Registration in Bangladesh, you have to keep in mind a partnership must always have at least two participants!

The Partnership Act of 1932 (the “Partnership Act”) defines a partnership as ‘the relationship between persons who have agreed to share profits of the business carried on by all or any of them acting for all’. This definition outlines three minimum prerequisites for forming a partnership:

There must be an agreement entered either orally or in writing by the individuals who wish to form a partnership.

The agreement’s purpose must be to share the earnings of the business that the partnership intends to conduct, and

The business must be run by all of the partners or by one of them acting on their behalf. The term ‘person’ is not defined under the Partnership Act.

Registration of your partnership firm is optional, and there are no consequences for failure to do so. However, it is recommended because the following privileges are denied to an unregistered company:

A partner cannot launch a lawsuit in any court against the firm or other partners to enforce any right resulting from a contract or right conferred by the Partnership Act.

Your firm cannot enforce a contract-based right against a third party in any court.

Furthermore, the firm or any of its partners cannot seek a set-off (i.e., mutual adjustment of obligations due by disputant parties to one another) or other legal action in a dispute with a third party.

PARTNERSHIP: QUICK FACTS

LIABILITY
In Bangladesh, a partnership is only considered a separate legal entity (i.e. separate from its owners) if it is registered.

A partnership’s obligation is shared by all of its partners, both jointly and severally.

Limited Liability Partnerships do not exist in Bangladesh.

TAXATION
Partnerships in Bangladesh are not taxed at the entity level, and profits are recognized as part of each partner’s personal income and taxed accordingly.

MEMBERS AND MANAGEMENT
There must be at least two and no more than twenty partners.

Partners can be individuals or companies.

In contrast to private or public limited firms, a partnership in Bangladesh has no directors, shareholders, or secretaries; instead, the partners own and operate the business.

PARTNERSHIP REGISTRATION: DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

To register a partnership in Bangladesh, the following information and documents are required:

  • Proposed partnership name:
  • Partnership agreement officially notarized.
  • Form I:
  • Details about the partners:
  • The partners’ residential address
  • Details of the partnership’s registered address;
  • Percentage of each partner’s share of profits.
  • Partnership – Registration Procedure
    A partnership can be registered with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms of Bangladesh (“RJSC”).

The partnership registration process consists of two steps: a) name reservation, and b) entity registration. Typically, a partnership registration can be completed in one or two days.

Step 1: Choosing the Partnership Name
The partners are entitled to choose any name they want for their partnership firm, subject to the following rules:

The names must not be too similar or identical to the name of another current firm conducting similar business, since this could cause misunderstanding. The rationale for this restriction is because a firm’s reputation or goodwill may suffer if a new firm adopts an allied name.

The name must not contain phrases that convey or imply government sponsorship, approval, or patronage.

Once you’ve decided on a name, you should apply for name clearance on RJSC’s website.

  • Step 2: Prepare a Partnership Deed.
    You should prepare a partnership agreement. Typically, a partnership deed includes the following clauses:
  • Name and address of the firm, including all partners;
  • Nature of the business to be carried out
  • Date of the start of business;
  • Duration of partnership (whether for a defined duration or indefinitely);
  • Each partner makes a capital contribution.
  • Profit-sharing ratio among partners.
  • Rules should be followed in the event of retirement, death, or the entrance of a partner;
  • The foregoing are the minimal requirements for all partnership deeds. The partners may additionally specify any extra clauses.
  • The partnership deed should be on stamp paper in conformity with the Stamp Act and signed by all partners. Then it should be notarized.

Step 3: Register the Partnership Deed with RJSC.

The partnership agreed and filled up. Form I should be filed with RJSC. The records will be evaluated by RJSC personnel. When the officials are pleased with the points indicated in the partnership deed, he will record the statement in a register known as the Register of Firms and give a Certificate of Registration.

Bangladesh has a diverse business landscape. One of these is a partnership firm, while the others are proprietorships and limited companies. A Partnership Firm is founded under the provisions of the Partnership Act of 1932. The Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) is Bangladesh’s primary body for registering partnership firms. For Partnership Registration in Bangladesh, we must follow specific processes, which will be discussed at the end of this post.

When two or more persons, particularly those with similar interests or professions, start a firm and enter into a voluntary agreement with the purpose of making and sharing profits, this is referred to as Partnership firm. A partnership business can be formed with as few as two people and as many as twenty.

Partnership Registration with RJSC is now required in order to open a bank account for a partnership business. Many unregistered Partnership Business owners will seek to register their Partnership Firm with RJSC. However, in order to obtain certain legal benefits, Partnership Business Registration with RJSC is required.

Partnership Agreement, often known as the Partnership Deed. Usually, the following terms and conditions are included in a partnership agreement:

  • Name, Current Address, and Permanent Address of the Partner.
  • Name of the partnership firm.
  • Business Type and Address
  • Duration of Partnership
  • Share of profit taken by each partner
  • Amount of capital contribution by each partner

  • Please provide a full address for your primary business location when joining. Date of Partners

  • Business details must be supplied using the required Form-I.

We recommend that you register your existing Partnership Firm soon to avoid unexpected scenarios. In addition, if you form a new partnership firm, you must register with RJSC in Bangladesh. To learn more about RJSC.

Benefits of Partnership Business:

Partners contribute start-up capital, allowing for greater flexibility and possibility for growth.

A partnership firm is typically easier to establish, operate, and administer. Partnership firms have less stringent rules and regulations than corporations. As long as all partners agree, they can run their firm whatever they want.

Each partner contributes new ideas and abilities to the firm. It is easier to make a decision to solve a problem since there are more brains to think about it. Every partner can share their roles and responsibilities in the firm.

After completing Partnership Registration in Bangladesh, you should obtain the following documents to begin operating your business:

  • Trade license and TIN certificate for newly registered partnership firms.
  • Bank Account VAT Registration Certificate

বাংলাদেশে দেওয়ানী কার্যবিধির পদ্ধতি সেই প্রক্রিয়াকে শাসন করে যার মাধ্যমে দেশের আইনি ব্যবস্থার মধ্যে দেওয়ানী মামলার শুনানি এবং সমাধান করা হয়। এটি নাগরিক বিরোধের সূচনা, অগ্রগতি এবং সমাধানের জন্য একটি কাঠামো প্রদান করে, ন্যায়বিচারের ন্যায্য এবং দক্ষ প্রশাসন নিশ্চিত করে।

দেওয়ানী কার্যবিধির আদেশ 

আদেশের প্রকার

বাংলাদেশে দেওয়ানী কার্যবিধির পদ্ধতির আদেশগুলি বিভিন্ন প্রকারকে অন্তর্ভুক্ত করে, প্রতিটি মামলার প্রক্রিয়ায় একটি নির্দিষ্ট উদ্দেশ্য পূরণ করে। এর মধ্যে ইন্টারলোকিউটরি অর্ডার, চূড়ান্ত আদেশ, এক্স-পার্ট অর্ডার এবং অন্তর্বর্তী আদেশ অন্তর্ভুক্ত থাকতে পারে।

প্রতিটি ধরণের আদেশ একটি দেওয়ানী কার্যবিধির মামলার বিভিন্ন পর্যায় এবং দিকগুলিকে সম্বোধন করে, পক্ষ এবং আদালতকে একটি সমাধানের দিকে পরিচালিত করে।

দেওয়ানি কার্যবিধিতে আদেশের গুরুত্ব

বাংলাদেশে সিভিল পদ্ধতির ক্ষেত্রে আদেশের গুরুত্ব অপরিসীম। তারা জড়িত পক্ষগুলিকে স্পষ্টতা এবং নির্দেশনা প্রদান করে, নিশ্চিত করে যে আইনি প্রক্রিয়াগুলি একটি সুশৃঙ্খলভাবে পরিচালিত হয়।

দেওয়ানী কার্যবিধির আদেশের মূল উপাদান

এখতিয়ার ও স্থান

কোনো আদেশ জারি করার আগে, বাংলাদেশের আদালতকে অবশ্যই তার এখতিয়ার প্রতিষ্ঠা করতে হবে এবং বিচারের জন্য উপযুক্ত স্থান নির্ধারণ করতে হবে। এখতিয়ার বলতে একটি মামলার শুনানি এবং সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়ার জন্য আদালতের কর্তৃত্বকে বোঝায়, যেখানে স্থানটি ভৌগলিক অবস্থানের সাথে সম্পর্কিত যেখানে মামলার শুনানি হয়।

প্লীডিংস

বাংলাদেশে সিভিল পদ্ধতির আদেশে প্লিডিংস একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা পালন করে। দলগুলিকে তাদের নিজ নিজ দাবি এবং প্রতিরক্ষার রূপরেখা দিয়ে আনুষ্ঠানিক বিবৃতি জমা দিতে হবে।

প্লিডিং সংক্রান্ত আদেশের মধ্যে প্লীডিং সংশোধন করার নির্দেশনা, অপ্রাসঙ্গিক অভিযোগ স্ট্রাইক, বা বিরোধের বিষয়গুলি পরিষ্কার করার জন্য আরও বিশদ প্রদান অন্তর্ভুক্ত থাকতে পারে।

আবিস্কার

ডিসকভারি অর্ডারগুলি জিজ্ঞাসাবাদ, জবানবন্দি এবং নথি তৈরির জন্য অনুরোধের মতো প্রক্রিয়াগুলির মাধ্যমে পক্ষগুলির মধ্যে তথ্যের আদান-প্রদানের সুবিধা দেয়৷ এই আদেশগুলি পক্ষগুলিকে মামলার সাথে প্রাসঙ্গিক প্রমাণ সংগ্রহ করতে সক্ষম করে, মোকদ্দমা প্রক্রিয়ায় স্বচ্ছতা এবং ন্যায্যতা প্রচার করে।

গতিবিধি

মোশন হল সুনির্দিষ্ট ত্রাণ বা রায়ের জন্য আদালতে করা আনুষ্ঠানিক অনুরোধ। বাংলাদেশে, গতিবিধিতে নিষেধাজ্ঞা, সারসংক্ষেপ রায়, বা মামলা খারিজ করার আবেদন অন্তর্ভুক্ত থাকতে পারে।

দলগুলোর অধিকার ও বাধ্যবাধকতা নির্ধারণে এবং মামলা মোকদ্দমার গতিপথ নির্ধারণে গতির আদেশ অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।

বিচার

বাংলাদেশে বিচার প্রক্রিয়া চলাকালীন জারি করা আদেশগুলি বিভিন্ন দিককে নিয়ন্ত্রণ করে, যার মধ্যে প্রমাণ স্বীকার করা, সাক্ষীদের পরীক্ষা করা এবং আইনি যুক্তি দাখিল করা হয়। এই আদেশগুলি নিশ্চিত করে যে বিচারগুলি ন্যায্য এবং দক্ষতার সাথে পরিচালিত হয়, প্রাকৃতিক ন্যায়বিচারের নীতিগুলিকে যথাযথভাবে বিবেচনা করে।

ন্যায্যতা এবং দক্ষতা নিশ্চিতকরণে আদেশের ভূমিকা

বাংলাদেশের নাগরিক বিচার ব্যবস্থায় ন্যায্যতা ও কার্যকারিতা নিশ্চিত করার জন্য আদেশ একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা পালন করে।

সুস্পষ্ট নির্দেশিকা এবং সময়সীমা প্রদান করে, আদেশগুলি পদ্ধতিগত অপব্যবহার রোধ করতে এবং পক্ষগুলিকে ন্যায়সঙ্গতভাবে আচরণ করা হয় তা নিশ্চিত করতে সহায়তা করে। অধিকন্তু, আদেশগুলি মেনে চলা বিবাদের সময়মত সমাধান, আদালতে বিলম্ব এবং ব্যাকলগগুলি হ্রাস করে।

আদেশ প্রাপ্তির সাধারণ চ্যালেঞ্জ

তাদের গুরুত্ব সত্ত্বেও, বাংলাদেশে দেওয়ানী কার্যবিধির পদ্ধতিতে আদেশ প্রাপ্তি চ্যালেঞ্জিং হতে পারে। পদ্ধতিগত জটিলতা, আইনি অনিশ্চয়তা, এবং সম্পদের সীমাবদ্ধতার মতো বিষয়গুলি সময়মত আদেশ জারি করতে বাধা দিতে পারে।

উপরন্তু, পক্ষের মধ্যে বিরোধ এবং কৌশলগত মামলার কৌশল প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বিতাপূর্ণ আবেদন এবং দীর্ঘায়িত কার্যধারার দিকে নিয়ে যেতে পারে।

কার্যকরী আদেশ খসড়া করার জন্য টিপস

কার্যকর আদেশের খসড়া তৈরির জন্য প্রাসঙ্গিক আইনী নীতি এবং পদ্ধতিগত নিয়মগুলির যত্নশীল বিবেচনার প্রয়োজন। বাংলাদেশে দলগুলি এবং তাদের আইনী প্রতিনিধিদের নিশ্চিত করা উচিত যে আদেশগুলি স্পষ্ট, সংক্ষিপ্ত এবং আইনগতভাবে উপযুক্ত।

মামলার ক্ষেত্রে প্রযোজ্য তথ্য ও আইনের ভিত্তিতে চাওয়া ত্রাণকে স্পষ্টভাবে তুলে ধরা এবং পর্যাপ্ত ন্যায্যতা প্রদান করা অপরিহার্য।

মামলার ফলাফলে আদেশের প্রভাব

বাংলাদেশে দেওয়ানী কার্যবিধির মামলার ফলাফলের উপর আদেশগুলি উল্লেখযোগ্য প্রভাব ফেলে। সুনিপুণ আদেশগুলি পক্ষগুলির অধিকার এবং বাধ্যবাধকতাগুলিকে প্রভাবিত করতে পারে, বিবাদের চূড়ান্ত সমাধানকে রূপ দেয়৷

বিপরীতভাবে, ভ্রান্ত বা খারাপভাবে খসড়া করা আদেশ আপিল বা রায়-পরবর্তী চ্যালেঞ্জের দিকে নিয়ে যেতে পারে, মামলার প্রক্রিয়াকে দীর্ঘায়িত করতে পারে এবং অতিরিক্ত ব্যয় এবং বিলম্ব ঘটাতে পারে।

দেওয়ানী কার্যবিধির অর্ডারের সাম্প্রতিক উন্নয়ন

সাম্প্রতিক বছরগুলিতে, বাংলাদেশ আইনী সংস্কার এবং প্রযুক্তিগত অগ্রগতির দ্বারা চালিত সিভিল পদ্ধতি আদেশের ক্ষেত্রে উল্লেখযোগ্য অগ্রগতির সাক্ষী হয়েছে। আদালতগুলি কেস ম্যানেজমেন্ট, ইলেকট্রনিক ফাইলিং এবং ভার্চুয়াল শুনানির জন্য ডিজিটাল প্ল্যাটফর্ম গ্রহণ করেছে, ন্যায়বিচারে অ্যাক্সেস বৃদ্ধি এবং দক্ষতা উন্নত করেছে।

অধিকন্তু, পদ্ধতিগত বিধি এবং মামলার আইনের পরিবর্তনগুলি আদেশের বিষয়বস্তু এবং ব্যাখ্যাকে প্রভাবিত করেছে, বিকশিত আইনি মান এবং বিচারিক অনুশীলনগুলি প্রতিফলিত করে।

উপসংহার

উপসংহারে বলা যায়, আদেশ হল বাংলাদেশে দেওয়ানী পদ্ধতির অপরিহার্য উপাদান, মামলার অগ্রগতি এবং ন্যায়বিচারের সুষ্ঠু ও দক্ষ প্রশাসন নিশ্চিত করে। স্পষ্টতা, দিকনির্দেশনা এবং বিচার বিভাগীয় তত্ত্বাবধান প্রদানের মাধ্যমে, আদেশগুলি বিরোধের সমাধান এবং আইনের শাসন বজায় রাখতে অবদান রাখে।

যেহেতু বাংলাদেশ তার আইনী ব্যবস্থার বিকাশ অব্যাহত রেখেছে, ন্যায়বিচারে প্রবেশাধিকার এবং মামলাকারীদের অধিকার সমুন্নত রাখার ক্ষেত্রে দেওয়ানি পদ্ধতিতে আদেশের ভূমিকা গুরুত্বপূর্ণ থাকবে।

The Importance of a Divorce Certificate in Bangladesh

The Importance of a Divorce Certificate in Bangladesh

The acquisition of a divorce certificate is the subject of great significance in Bangladesh owing to the legal and social ramifications that it carries.

The possession of a divorce certificate is essential for all parties engaged in the dissolution of the marriage, regardless of whether the breakup was peaceful or acrimonious.

A divorce document is required in Bangladesh for a number of reasons, which we will discuss in more detail below.

Acknowledgment and documentation legally required of Divorce Certificate

A divorce certificate is a document that acts as evidence in court that a marriage has been terminated. The Muslim Marriage and Divorce Registration Act of 1974, the Hindu Marriage Registration Act of 2012,

The Christian Marriage Registration Act of 1872 are the three laws that govern the registration of weddings in Bangladesh. The laws that govern marriages are determined by the faith of the persons involved.

In a similar manner, divorces are also recorded in accordance with the laws that are relevant to the religion of the spouse. There is a possibility that the dissolution of marriage will not be recognized by the law if a divorce certificate is not presented. This might result in challenges regarding issues such as property rights, child custody, and attempts to remarry.


Rights to Property and Concerns Regarding Finances

When it comes to splitting up the assets and responsibilities of a marriage, having a divorce document is very necessary. When a couple decides to divorce, the property that was acquired during their marriage is normally split fairly between them.

If a divorce document is not present, it may be difficult to demonstrate that the marriage has been dissolved and to ascertain which party is entitled to the assets that were accumulated over the course of the marriage.

In addition, a divorce certificate makes it easier to handle financial concerns such as alimony or maintenance payments, which helps to ensure that both parties remain in compliance with their legal duties.

Child custody and financial support

Within the context of deciding child custody and support agreements, a divorce certificate is an extremely important document. When it comes to divorce procedures in Bangladesh, providing for the well-being of children is of the utmost significance.

When determining custody and visiting rights, the courts take into consideration a number of variables, including the financial capacity and emotional well-being of both parents. There is solid proof of the end of the marital connection that is provided by a divorce certificate.

This evidence might influence judgments about the raising and care of the children inside the marriage. As an additional benefit, it assists in the establishment of child support responsibilities, which guarantees that children will get the appropriate financial assistance from both of their parents.

Remarriage and the Standing of Society

In Bangladesh, those who are interested in remarriage are required to have a divorce certificate in their possession. It is possible that remarriage is not in accordance with the law if a divorce certificate is not in good standing.

Having a divorce certificate may also help eliminate misconceptions and rumors about a person’s marital status, which is especially important in a culture that places a high value on social status and reputation.

As a result, it helps people go ahead with their life by providing clarity and openness in their personal relationships.

Final Thoughts

The significance of a divorce document in Bangladesh cannot be emphasized, as the previous sentence has shown. It acts as a formal record of the dissolution of the marriage, which makes it easier to deal with a variety of issues of life after a divorce, including the division of property, the custody of children, and the possibility of remarriage.

Through the process of getting a divorce certificate, people are able to guarantee that their rights and duties are recognized and respected in accordance with the law. This provides them with the necessary closure to start over completely.
