Yes, you can dissolve the firm at will, even if the partnership deed states that the duration of the firm is at will. This is because the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, gives every partner the right to dissolve the partnership at any time. To dissolve the partnership, you must give your partners written notice of your intention to dissolve the firm. The notice should state the date on which you intend to dissolve the firm.
