    Just wanted to cross check here again whether isn't it perfectly legal to have two adsense accounts. One in the individual name and another in the company name. The individual is one of the partners in the partnership company.

    A company is a separate entity that can sign contracts and be bonded by contracts, should a company having an account and an individual having another account should be two accounts belonging to two different entities, I do not see the legal issue here.

    Ok, that was something which I was also guessing. However, the issue i faced was one of the pages of a website in the company account made a policy violation. The adsense team shoot out a warning mail and within hours the company account was disabled.

    They also sent a mail to the individual account saying as its related to another account which made a policy violation, this account is disabled too !!!!!!!

    I am confused as to the logic here :(

    Did you somehow use the same address or bank information?

    Peace,

    Naturally the company has a different bank account in its own name and its a google adsense business account. My individual adsense account is a personal account. A company has a different legal identity so i feel the address doesn't matter either.

    it is illegal if you log them both in the same ip and if the person holds the accounts is one person. You can have two accounts but with different person and different mailing address

    It's absolutly Legal to have two adsense account. But you must use different name for two accounts and different sites for each accounts.

    One should be registed as Business and another one is personal account.

    Yes, I already mentioned the company account is business account and mine is personal account.

    The question now is why personal account suffer for a policy violation in the business account as the business account is managed collectively by a team???
