What to Focus On
- Partnership is defined under Section 4 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932.
- Minimum 2 partners are required to form a partnership.
- Maximum number of partners is 50 as per Rule 10 of Companies (Miscellaneous) Rules, 2014.
- Partnership is created by contract — written (partnership deed) or oral.
- Equal profit sharing applies if no agreement specifies otherwise.
- Each partner acts as an agent for all other partners (mutual agency).
- Partnership deed is the written agreement between partners — it is the firm's administrative constitution.
- Oral agreements are valid but a written deed is always advisable to avoid disputes.
- If no deed exists, provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 apply.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Interest on partners' loan is recorded in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account, just like interest on capital.
If no partnership deed exists, profit and loss is distributed in the ratio of capital contributed by each partner.
In the Fixed Capital Account method, partners' salary, commission, and interest on capital are recorded in the Capital Account.
