What is the effect of a partial payment on a retiring partner’s loan account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The loan balance decreases

The governing concept is settlement of a liability. After retirement, the amount payable to the retiring partner may be transferred to a loan account when it is not paid immediately. This credit balance represents an obligation of the firm. Whenever the firm makes a partial payment, cash or bank decreases and the liability is reduced by exactly the amount paid. For example, if the loan balance is ₹40,000 and ₹10,000 is paid, the remaining credit balance becomes ₹30,000. Therefore, option A is correct. The payment does not increase the loan balance, automatically increase the partner’s capital, or create profit. It merely settles part of an existing liability and leaves the unpaid amount outstanding for later payment, with interest if the agreement requires it.
