i am aware about the earlier query you had posted 

ignoring that i am replying to your present query since it seems that this time you have been careful about the choice of your words while posting your query

first of all you need to check your employment contract with the government to ascertain the exact kind of restrictions against the employee having his own business

it is only after studying your contract can further advise be feasible to be given

if at all the business is permitted where you invest certain money with 2 persons who will be actively engaged in the business but will share profits with you, then a normal agreement reducing the agreed terms between the parties have to be made on a 100 rs stamp paper and it has to be notorised

as to the kind of t-shirts you wish to sell, if you print provocative images on your t-shirts then not only the buyer but also you as the seller or your organisation which is selling these t-shirts will come in legal trouble if there is any complaint made to that effect for spreading enmity and inducing people into extremism

sleeping partner is the one who is not actively engaged in the day to day affairs of the business being run by the partnership

Hello,

1. It would be advisable for you to remain an investor and seek profit to the proportion of your investment. Draw up an agreement or get them to issue you undertaking on the Company letter heads acknowledging your contribution and the share of profits to be shared with you unconditionally.
2. Your printing pictures of religious extremists on T- shirts for a profit is not a bad idea;however it can attract the ire of many as what and whom you hold a religious extremist may come under attack. Besides, if you are looking to earn profit, controversies should be best avoided.
3. Publishing a book online is not punishable unless the contents are offensive and somebody complains about it. A sleeping partner is a person who provides some of the capital for a business but who does not take an active part in managing the business.

- Legally , you may face problem in your job , if entered into any contract/agreement with other persons for making sharing of profits.

- The main agenda is that , being a government employee , you cannot do any other work for profit i.e earning from other sources.

- Book publishing is not a problem , and further you may get easily permission of your department for the same, and hence it not come under the business tag like book selling for profit.

- Better , do the business in the name of any relative , to whom you are having trust , and supervise the said business .

Hence appoint some family members as partner and oversee the business of partnership firm while working with the Government departments, No harm.

You can't do anything which attracts people their attention as religious hurt.

Please refrain from printing any material which may hurt anyone with religion issues. 

Get the same done through your wife or through some family member. You will have to get an MoU drafted and the same will be signed by all the parties 

Sleeping partner: In a partnership, a partner who owns a share in the company's equity, but does not take part in management.
