This document is a formal affidavit used to declare the closure of a business partnership. It serves as a sworn statement by a partner explaining that the firm is being dissolved or closed following the retirement of a partner.
About this template
What is this template?
This document is a sworn affidavit for the closure of a partnership business in India. It is not a dissolution deed or a statutory filing form for the Registrar of Firms, but rather a supporting declaration of facts regarding the intent to shut down. It contains a specific verification clause and a narrative of partner retirement leading to the closure.
When should you use it?
Use this document when a partner needs to provide a sworn statement to a government body or bank regarding the closure of a firm. Use a Partnership Dissolution Deed instead if you need to formally agree on the distribution of assets and liabilities between all partners.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
