What to Focus On
- Partnership arises from an agreement — not from status or operation of law.
- The business must be lawful and carried on with the motive of earning profit.
- Partners are individually called 'partners' and collectively called a 'firm'.
- Mutual Agency is the cornerstone of partnership — every partner acts as both principal and agent.
- A partnership has a separate business entity only from an accounting viewpoint, NOT legally.
- Liability of all partners is unlimited — personal assets can be attached to pay firm debts.
- A Partnership Deed is also called 'Articles of Partnership' or 'Constitution of the Partnership Firm'.
- The deed must be written, signed by all partners, and duly stamped.
- Without a deed, the provisions of Indian Partnership Act, 1932 automatically apply.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
In the absence of a partnership deed, profits are shared in the ratio of capital contributed by each partner.
Interest on capital is always allowed to partners, even if there is no partnership deed.
Interest on partner's loan and interest on partner's capital are the same thing and both are treated similarly in accounts.
