What to Focus On

  • Minimum number of partners is two.
  • Partnership may be oral or written.
  • Mutual agency is the core feature of partnership.

  • Deed records the terms of partnership.
  • Oral agreement is valid, but written deed is preferred.
  • Silent deed means default rules under the Partnership Act apply.

  • Fixed capital method uses capital account and current account.
  • Fluctuating capital method uses only one capital account.
  • Fixed capital accounts always show credit balance.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If the partnership deed is silent, partners can still claim salary, interest on capital, and interest on drawings at normal rates.

Interest on a partner's loan and interest on capital are the same rule, so both are either allowed or not allowed when the deed is silent.

A firm can have any number of partners if all agree.
