The Indian Partnership Act of 1932 defines a partnership as the relation between two or more persons who have agreed to share the profits and losses of a business run by any or all of the partners. The Act applies to all of India except Jammu and Kashmir and superseded the previous definition in the Indian Contract Act of 1872. Key elements of a partnership include an agreement to form the partnership, whether express or implied, sharing of profits of the business, and the business being carried out by all or any of the partners acting for all.
