Which act governed the partnership form of business organisation? |
Indian Partnership Act, 1962 Indian Partnership Act, 1952 Indian Partnership Act, 1932 Indian Partnership Act, 1942 |
Indian Partnership Act, 1932 |
The correct answer is option 3- Indian Partnership Act, 1932. The Indian Partnership Act, 1932 defines partnership as “the relation between persons who have agreed to share the profit of the business carried on by all or any one of them acting for all.” The partnership form of business organisation is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. It comes into existence through a legal agreement wherein the terms and conditions governing the relationship among the partners, sharing of profits and losses and the manner of conducting the business are specified. It may be pointed out that the business must be lawful and run with the motive of profit. Thus, two people coming together for charitable purposes will not constitute a partnership. |
