Interest charged over & above 12% of average monthly balance will be disallow.

 

It is not mandatory to give interest to partners on their capital.

If payment of interest is provided in the partnership deed, then it will be taken. However interest in excess of 12% will be disallowed subject to sec.40 b(IV)
