It is in the nature of personal expenditure of the partner. This is not deductible as per section 37 of the IT Act.
Moreover as per Section 40(a) and 40A only remuneration (subject to limits specified) and interest on capital (up to 12%) if the same are as per the terms of the Partnership Deed, then only those two are allowable in Income Tax Act. No other expenditure of personal nature is deductible.
