What is the maximum and the minimum number of partners in a partnership firm?

A Partnership can be created, certainly, with another distinct individual. That means, it takes minimum 2 persons to form a partnership.

The maximum number of partners is 50, which is prescribed under Companies Act, 2013. Any business organisation having more than 50 members is declared illegal association unless it is a body corporate like an LLP or a company.

However, this ceiling limit does not apply to HUF or an association of professionals, such as CS or CA - who are governed by special Acts.
