09 June 2015 Whether a partnership deed can include a clause relating to disbursement of profits, wherein the decision relating to distribution of profits for a particular year is subject to the discretion of the firm? What would be the tax treatment of such accumulated profits in the year when such profits are distributed in the profit sharing ratio, in hands of the partner?
