Re: Partnership act 1932
As per our view, it can not be done because Partnership arises from contract and not from status, like company which is a separate legal entity.however individual partners can form a new partnership firm (Joint venture kind) to do the particular business subject to cross check of legal parameters.
Hope the above answer to your query.

There is no bar on a firm joining another firm as a partner; however, a commercial decision may be taken only after consulting an advocate personally with all your documents.

Re: Partnership act 1932
Dear Friend,
A Partnership firm is not a separate legal entity. Hence a partnership firm can not join another partnership firm.
However, a partner in a firm may join as a partner in another firm, subject to the conditions mentioned in the deed of partnership of the earlier firm.
A partner is jointly and severely liable for the act and action of the firm, which means that law recognizes a Partner and the firm in itself is nothing without the liability of the partners.
