Hello,
There is a partner say named 'A' in a Partnership Firm 'ABC Enterprises'. The Partnership Firm is liable to tax audit whereas the individual is not. What will be the due date of filing the Income Tax Return for the individual A?

Why? Will it not be 30th Sept?
'a working partner of a firm whose accounts are required to be audited under this Act or under any other law for the time being in force'
What does working partner mean? Is a partner who is simply getting Share of Profit and Interest on Capital but no Remuneration a Working Partner?

If the partner A is a working partner then due date will be 30th of September
Or if he is non - working partner then due date will be 31st of July

What is the definition of working partner? If a partner is actively involved in the business but is not getting any Remuneration(he's getting only profit share and interest on capital), is the due date 5th Aug or 30th Sept for AY 13-14?

30th September. Every year. There is a logic. Only after firm accounts get finalised. Patrners bs can be closed.

The partnership deed spells out who among the partners is to be working partner. One among the partner or more than one or all the partners maybe working partners depending out on the partnership deed . Working partners are entitled to remuneration as per the deed. Income tax deduction will be available for such remuneration if it is within the limits prescribed by sec 40(b).

A partner who is getting only share of profits and interest on capital generally will not be a working partner (but if the deed says so he can be 1).
As he is not a working partner his due date will be 31st july (augest 5th for AY 13-14).

I disagree with Mr. Deepesh that there is logic for it to be 30th september, as the income of a non working partner will be unaffected even when the income of the firm as per books and as per tax laws are different .
But it is not the same case with a working partner. His income will be depending on the income of the firm under tax laws as it is subject to limits under section 40(b).

a working partner is one who is engaged in the business of the firm. generally working partners are stated in the partnership deed. if not , then the partners who conduct the affairs of the business are treated as working partners. Generally remuneration is paid to them. But even if it is not paid ,it is not debar him from the capacity of working partner provided he is actively engaged.
in that case due date will be 30th september otherwise 31st July.
