As per proviso to section 28(v) , Rs. 6,00,000/- (12% of 50 lakhs) has to be offered by each partner in their individual return under the head ' income from business'.

THE CONCLUSION IS THAT PARTNER HAVE TO PAY TAX ON INCOME RECEIVED UPTO 12% OF INTT ON CAPITAL. AFTER 12% PARTNERS ARE NOT TAXABLE AT ALL IRRESPECTIVE OF THE AMOUNT OF INTT. IN MY QUESTION 8% WILL NOT BE TAXED TO PARTNER BUT ONLY THE FIRM.. SAME WILL BE IN THE CASE OF SALARY. OK
