The document summarizes key parts of the Indian Partnership Act of 1932. It defines a partnership as an agreement between people to share profits from a business carried out by some or all of them. A partnership is created by contract, not status. The Act applies provisions of the Indian Contract Act of 1872 that are not inconsistent with it. It also defines terms like "firm" and "firm name" and discusses partnership at will, where the duration of the partnership is not specified in the contract.

DEFINITION OF "PARTNERSHIP", "PARTNER", "FIRM" AND "FIRM-
NAME".
"Partnership" is the relation between persons who have agreed to share
the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all.
Persons who have entered into partnership with one another are called
individually, "partners" and collectively "a firm", and the name under which
their business is carried on is called the "firm-name".

Section 5
PARTNERSHIP NOT CREATED BY STATUS.
The relation of partnership arises from contract and not
from status; and, in particular, the members of a Hindu
undivided family carrying on a family business as such, or
a Burmese Buddhist husband and wife carrying on
business as such are not partners in such business.
