20 July 2010What is the rule / calculation for computing the maximum salary payable to the partners.
I read another post which gives the details, but towards the end of the post, there is a contradiction regarding applicable FY.
Hence my question; how to calclate the maximum salary payable to the partners for FY 2009-2010 & FY 2010-2011.
Thx

Dear Sanjay,
There is no limit on salaries payable to partners.It is paid in accordance with the partnership deed.
I think you are asking about remuneration to partners.The maximum permissible limit for remuneration to partners is
First Rs 3,00,000 book profit - Rs 150,000 or 90% of book profit, whichever is higher
Balance book profit - 60% of book profit
Regards,
Fatema

Amount of maximum remuneration to be payable is give in section 40(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and it is also subject to provision of partnership deed. thus remuneration payable to working partner as authorised in deed shall not exceed than limit of Deed or section 40(b) whichever is lower
1 THE Finance Act 2009 amended the rates as under
Maximum remuneration payable to partner shall be as unde
on first Rs 3,00,000/- of book profit - Rs 150000 or 90% of book profit whichever is more
and on balance of book profit - @ 60%
this amemdment will come into force w.e.f. 1.4.2010 thus for 2010-11 i.e. Assessment year 2011-12 above rates to be applicable however for Financial Year 2009-10 i.e. Assessment year 2010-11 rates earlier to this amendment to be applied
before this amendment rates was as under

on next 100000 of book profit - @ 60%

The maximum Permissible limit is
On first rupees 300,000 of book profit or in case of loss rupees 150,000 or 90% (whichever is more)
The partnership deed should mention amount or atleast the procedure for calculation of remuneration
for eg.
That in case of insufficiency of profits or in case of loss, the partners shall be entitled to draw minimum remuneration of Rs. 50,000/- in each accounting year in the ratio of 1:1."
