Is 50000 is to be paid as remuneration to partner in case of loss also


I think Yes.

13 February 2010 Finance (No. 2) Act, 2009 with effect from 1-4-2010 Substituted it as Rs. 150,000 as the maximum deductible amount of remuneration in case the firm has losses.

13 February 2010 I am sorry but this section is 40(b) and you are right that according to that section Rs. 50,000 are allowed even in case of Loss.

as it said in this section upto Rs. 75,000 remuneration is allowed 90% or Rs. 50,000 (whichever is higher)

Regared!!!

13 February 2010 I agree with Mr. Dinesh S Adhikari. sec 40(b) will be applicable and 50,000/-is eligible for payment in case of loss.

13 February 2010 I am sorry experts. But please correct me if my interpretation is wrong. Section 40(b) as given is pasted below.

I took the reference of this only and the interpreted that Rs 50,000 is amended by 2009 Amendment and w.e.f from 1-4-2010 Rs. 150,000 is applied.

Although, I may be wrong in viewing that Rs. 50,000 is applied in AY 2009-10 and Rs. 150,000 will be applied in AY 2010-11. Is it so? Please throw some light on this.
