15 March 2010 Dear All Experts.

I got confused as two expert's opinion says that it is not mandatory to provide partner's remuneration in books as per section 40(b) of I.t. act in case of Book Loss, while other Experts says that it
depends on the terms of deed.As i have already mentioned in my query that partnership deed specfied the same.(i.e.Partner's remuneration as per section 40(b) of I.t.Act).

Please clarify the same with best option.

16 March 2010 As per Section 40(b) of the IT Act, it is not mandatiry to provide for partner's remuneration in the books.
If in the pertnership deed it is mentioned that remuneration to the partners will be paid as per Sec. 40(b) of the IT Act, then you need not provide for partners' remuneration in books.
But, if it is expressly mentioned in the partnership deed, that in any case, partners are to be paid such and such remuneration, then you have to go by the partnership deed.
Hope, this clears your confusion.
