A retiring partner's loan account contains only principal, and interest has not yet been added. What is the correct next step?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Add interest for the due period

The governing concept is that a retiring partner’s unpaid balance becomes a loan payable by the continuing firm. If the agreement or applicable rule provides interest, that interest must be calculated for the period during which the loan remains outstanding and added to the loan account. For example, on ₹50,000 at 6% per annum for six months, interest is ₹50,000 × 6/100 × 6/12 = ₹1,500. Thus, adding interest for the due period is correct. Deleting the account ignores the liability, treating principal as sales confuses a financing obligation with revenue, and treating the amount as profit has no accounting basis.
