But Aditya sir there is a provision in which a firm can give remunaratio to its partner even in case of loss. Further my query is that all the expenses on consturction are being debited in the WIP a/c and I want to know whether firm can give remunaration to partner as per provisions of IT act and debited to the WIP a/c as other expenses.

A minimum remuneration of Rs.50,000/- to partners is permissable under Income tax Act,1961even when the business has no profit. But the partnership deed should authorise it.

In case of Construction business, profit is divided during the project period & there will be no loss as such in any year [AS - 7]
So,you will be able to give remuneration.
