Partnership Deed Automation by CA Revati Galgali
Problem
In CA practice, Partnership Deed and LLP Agreement drafting is: Repetitive and Monotonous : Same clauses drafted manually each time with copy-paste from old deeds, consuming hours of professional time on low-value work No Standardisation : Every practitioner follows their own format; no uniform template exists for Indian law-compliant deeds across Partnership Act 1932 and LLP Act 2008 No Built-in Validation : Profit ratios may not total 100%, PAN formats go unchecked, stamp duty is guessed, Section 40(b) limits and Section 194T TDS provisions are often outdated or missed Scattered Legal Knowledge : Stamp duty rates across 35 states, Finance Act 2024 amendments, LLP-specific sections, all must be manually researched and cross-checked every time
