If the deed does not mention the rate of interest on a partner's loan, what rate applies under the Indian Partnership Act?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Six percent per annum

Under Section 13(d) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, when a partner gives a loan or advance to the firm beyond the partner’s agreed capital contribution and the deed does not specify a different rate, interest is payable at 6% per annum. Therefore, option A is correct. This statutory rule concerns a partner’s loan or advance, not ordinary interest on capital. Zero percent is incorrect because the Act supplies a default rate when the agreement is silent. Twelve percent has no basis in the stated rule, and a capital ratio cannot determine the interest rate on a separate loan. The distinction between capital and loan is important: capital represents the agreed investment, while a loan is an advance giving rise to the statutory interest entitlement.
