Reconstitution of Partnership Firm: Retirement and Death

Question:

Interest payable @........ p.a. on the amount remaining unpaid to the executor of a deceased partner.

Options:

6%

10%

5%

12%

Correct Answer:

6%

Explanation:

As stated earlier, the accounting treatment in the event of death of a partner is similar to that in case of retirement of a partner, and that in case of death of a partner his claim is transferred to his executors and settled in the same manner as that of the retired partner.intervals. In the absence of any agreement, Section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is applicable, which states that the outgoing partner has an option to receive either interest @ 6% p.a. till the date of payment or such share of profits which has been earned with his/her money.
