Revision Notes
Meaning of Partnership : According to Indian Partnership Act, 1932, ''Partnership is the relation between persons
who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all.” The Act also
explains that persons who have entered into partnership with one another are individually called “partners” and
collectively “a firm.”
Characteristics of Partnership :
(i) Association of two or more than two persons : It is essential for the Partnership that there must be at least two
persons who are competent for agreement because less than two persons does not establish partnership.
(ii) Maximum number of partners : Rule 10 of Company (Miscellaneous) Rules, 2014 says that no association of
partnership shall be formed, consisting of more than 50 persons for the purpose of carrying on any business.
(iii) Existence of an agreement : Partnership is the outcome of an agreement between two or more persons to
carry on business. This agreement may be oral or in written. The Partnership Act, 1932 (Section 5) clearly states
that “the relation of partnership arises from contract and not from status.”
(iv) Existence of business : Partnership Act, 1932 [ Section 2(6)] states that a “Business” includes every trade,
occupation and profession. Business of course, must be lawful and its main object should be to earn profit.
Partnership Deed
According to Section 5 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, Partnership Deed is an agreement between two or
more than two partners for determining their mutual contractual relationship and its limitation for better and
effective operation of business. It contains rules and conditions for operation of business. It can be registered or
unregistered. It should be comprehensive to avoid disputes later on.
The document which contains terms of the agreement is called 'Partnership deed'.

Different types of Partners in Partnership Firm are given below :
(i) Active Partner: A person who provides his share in capital and also takes active part in the management of the
business. The development of business depends upon the active partners.
(ii) Sleeping or Dormant Partners: These partners only provide capital and also share the profits and losses of the
business. A sleeping partner does not take active part in the management of a firm. These are not known to
public as partners.
(iii) Silent Partner: A silent partner is known to the public as a partner. He does not participate in the affairs of the
management. But he is liable to pay debts of the firm.
(iv) Secret Partner: He takes active part in the business but public does not know him as a partner of the firm. He
is liable to pay all the debts of the firm.
(v) Nominal Partner: These partners do not share the profits and losses of the firm. These partners do not
participate in the management of a firm. A firm only uses the name and reputation of the partners. So these
are called nominal partners.
(vi) Minor Partner: A minor may become a partner with the consent of all the partners. A minor is admitted in the
profits of the business only. He has no liability for losses.
(vii) Senior Partner: A person who is playing an important role in the management according to his ability,
experience and capital is called senior partner.
(viii) Junior Partner: A person who has small investment in the firm and has a limited experience of business is
called junior partner.
(ix) Limited Partner: A partner whose liability is restricted to his share only is called limited partner. He cannot
take part in the management of a firm.
(x) Unlimited Partner: When the liability of the partner is unlimited, he is called unlimited partner. The debts of
the firm can be paid even by using the personal property of that partner.
Applicable provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 in the absence of Partnership Deed:
(i) Interest on partner’s loan will be paid @ 6% p.a.
(ii) If deed is silent regarding interest on capital, no interest on capital is to be allowed.
(iii) If deed is silent regarding interest on drawings or charges on drawings by partners, no interest on drawings
is to be charged.
(iv) If deed is silent regarding salary or remuneration or commission of partners for their services, no salary or
remuneration or commission is to be allowed to any partner.
(v) If deed is silent regarding profit sharing ratio, profit will be distributed equally.

Methods of Maintaining Capital Accounts of Partners
There are two methods by which the capital accounts of partners can be maintained. These are:
(i) Fluctuating Capital: When partners decide to maintain only Capital Accounts for each partner, all entries
regarding Interest on Capital, Interest on Drawings, Salary, Share in Profit or Loss and Drawings will be made
in the Capital Accounts. In this case, capital will be fluctuating from year to year. This is known as Fluctuating
Capital.
(ii) Fixed Capital: When partners decide that their capitals will remain fixed and it will not change due to Interest
on Capital, Interest on Drawings, Salary or Share of Profit or Loss and Drawings, it is termed as Fixed Capital.
In this case, there will be two accounts for each partner: Capital Account and Current Account. Entries for
Interest on Capital, Interest on Drawings, Salary, Share of Profit or Loss and Drawings will be made through
Current Account. However when there are frequent drawings, a separate Drawings Account may be opened
for each partner. At the end of accounting year, balance of each Partner’s Drawings Account will be transferred
to their respective Current Accounts.
Fundamental Fact
LLP Stands for Limited Liability Partnership in which the liability of all the partners (except one partner) is limited.

with interest on capital, salary to partners, etc. The balance (if any) will be distributed among the partners in their
agreed ratio.
