04 December 2009 Any payment in the nature of salary or allowance to partner has to be authorised by partnership deed to be eligible for deduction u/s 40(b). Assuming that it has not been authorized by partnership deed, the tax and accounting implication of above will be as follows:
1. It can not be booked as an expenses and hence has to be added back to net profit for income tax purpose.
2. It will not be considered for section 40(b).
3.It will not be taxable in the hand of partner, as the firm will pay tax on these.

05 December 2009 Payment of any Expenditure made by Firm whether its allowed or disalloweb by IT Dept., it will not be Taxable to any Partner of Firm...
but Remunaration Paid to any Partner is to be include in his other income. so it may create difference in his personal IT.
