Partnership firm

This query is : Resolved 

12 October 2014 Sir, any minor person can be partnership in any firm ?

12 October 2014 As per Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 a minor cannot enter into an agreement. However Section 30 of the Partnership Act 1932 provides that with the consent of all the partners for the time being a minor may be admitted to the benefits of Partnership. This provision is based on the rule that a minor cannot be a promisor but he can be a promisee or a beneficiary.

Please refer section 30 of the Partnership Act 1932.

12 October 2014 # A minor can be admitted to the benefits of partnership with the consent of all the existing partners. It should be noted that consent of all the partners is required for a minor to be admitted in a partnership.

#There must be a partnership in existence before a minor can be admitted to its benefits. Thus, a minor cannot form a new partnership but can be admitted in an existing partnership.

#There cannot be a partnership consisting of all minors.
