* if accounts are to be closed on the date of retirement, per the partnership deed, two sets of financials has to be prepared wherein depreciation has to be provided proportionately.

* if no mention in the deed, per general presumption, one set of financial statements need to be prepared for the year 2020-21 wherein profit of the retired partner may be determined on time basis.
