This doesn't affect your personal tax return. This loss is firm's loss. which is carried forward. If you are closing your firm then you cannot take its benefit in your tax return.

" In my personal books i shown this as investment."

Treat is as contribution in firm...... being partner's share........ will remain till firm is in existance.

At the time of dissolution of partnership firm........ the difference if any will be loss from partnership firm; which cannot be adjusted against any other income.
