15 April 2012 There is no restriction on introduction of Capital in a Partnership firm in Cash...But it is important to note that the source of the cash being introduced as capital must be justified else A.O. in course of assessment may treat it as an unexplained cash credit and shall tax the same.

15 April 2012 Hi

Partnership may be formed with any two persons who are capable of entering into an agreement. A partnership cannot be created with minor, as he is capable of entering into a contract, though of course he would be admitted to the benefits of the partnership. The partnership act does not prescribe any maximum number of partners.

There is no minimum requirement of capital. The partner brings their own capital required for the business. In a trading firm a partner has implied authority to borrow money for the purpose of the business on the credit of the firm.
