Section 40 (b) of Income Tax Act, 1961.
Refer point no. (v):
-for first 300,000 of book profit or if loss
remuneration can be deducted 150,000 or 90% of book profit which ever is more.
hence, even in case of loss the firm is allowed to deduct 150,000 as remuneration to working partners.
in your case,
book profit = 140,000
A. deduction allowable u/s 40 (b) (v)
1. 140,000 * 90% = 126,000. Or
2. 150,000
Which ever is more = 150,000.
B. Firm already deducted = 130,000.
the firm's deduction is appropriate.
