25 July 2011 Before payment of salary there should a clause in the Partnership Deed to make the payment of salary to the working partner and the amount of salary should also be mentioned. If it is there then the karta of HUF can be paid salary as a working partner there is no restriction as has been stated by you. You should also consider the reply of the other expert.
