For the purposes of partnership act, a minor is a partner in profits but not in losses, hence, he can get the remuneration from the firm....but it shall be taxable inthe hands of his/her parents as clubbing provisions shall apply..........
also, "if the amount is paid to a non-working partner or passive partner or sleeping partner or dormant partner, then it will not be deductible. But it can be paid to even a female/minor partner provided the partner is working. The onus of proof is on the assessee, i.e., the partnership firm. It is not required that the partner should be exclusively/wholetime working partner. He/she can be working part time and he/she can be working partner with more than one partnership firm."
