Question:

When can a partner claim interest on the capital contributed to the partnership firm?

Options:

Always, as a matter of right

Only if the partnership deed specifies it

If the partner has the highest capital contribution

If the partner has made additional investments in the firm

Correct Answer:

Only if the partnership deed specifies it

Explanation:

Interest on capital is provided only if the partnership deed allows it and the partnership firm has a profit. If there is a loss even then no interest on capital is provided. If the partnership deed is silent on the matter of interest on capital then no interest is provided to partners.
