29 March 2017 If a firm wish to give interest only on Current Capital Balance of partners but not on Fixed Capital, so is it eligible for firm to do so ??

29 March 2017 Yes, Firm can do so, It fully depends on firm how much interest is to be paid on what capital and in what manner but note that such interest should not be more more than 12% (Simple Interest), Interest in excess of 12% is disallowed to firm
