Partnership Accounting — Your First Look
Think of a partnership as a group of friends starting a food stall together. One brings the money, another brings the cooking skills, a third brings the location. They agree to share the profits — but not necessarily equally. They also agree that if the stall loses money, they'll share the loss too.
That's the everyday intuition. Now let's make it precise.
What is a Partnership?
According to the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, a partnership is the relation between persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all. The NCERT Class-12 textbook defines it as a business owned and run by two or more persons (maximum 50, as per Companies Act, 2013) who contribute capital and share profits/losses in an agreed ratio.
The key features are:
- Two or more persons — minimum 2, maximum 50
- Agreement — written (partnership deed) or oral
- Profit-sharing — the core purpose
- Unlimited liability — each partner is personally liable for the firm's debts
- Mutual agency — each partner can bind the firm and other partners
Why Does Partnership Accounting Matter?
A sole proprietor has one owner — simple. A company has many shareholders — complex but structured. A partnership sits in between. The accounting challenge is: how do we track each partner's claim on the business?
The business is separate from the partners for accounting purposes, but the partners are personally involved. We need to record:
- What each partner brings in (capital)
- What each partner takes out (drawings)
- What each partner earns (interest, salary, commission, share of profit)
- What happens when a partner joins or leaves
The Two Key Accounts
1. Capital Account
This records the permanent investment of each partner. There are two methods:
Fixed Capital Method — Capital remains constant unless partners decide to change it. All other transactions go to a separate Current Account.
Fluctuating Capital Method — Capital changes with every transaction (drawings, interest, salary, share of profit/loss). Only one account per partner.
NCERT recommends the Fixed Capital Method for clarity. Here's the format:
Partner's Capital Account (Fixed Capital Method)
| Particulars | A (₹) | B (₹) | | Particulars | A (₹) | B (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| To Balance c/d | 50,000 | 30,000 | | By Balance b/d | 50,000 | 30,000 |
| | | | | By Bank (additional capital) | — | — |
| Total | 50,000 | 30,000 | | Total | 50,000 | 30,000 |
The opening balance is the capital brought in. The closing balance is the same unless additional capital is introduced or capital is withdrawn permanently.
2. Current Account
This records everything else — drawings, interest on capital, interest on drawings, salary, commission, and share of profit/loss.
Partner's Current Account (Fixed Capital Method)
| Particulars | A (₹) | B (₹) | | Particulars | A (₹) | B (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| To Drawings | 5,000 | 4,000 | | By Balance b/d | 2,000 | 1,000 |
| To Interest on Drawings | 250 | 200 | | By Interest on Capital | 3,000 | 1,800 |
| To Balance c/d | 5,750 | 3,600 | | By Salary | 6,000 | — |
| | | | | By Commission | — | 4,000 |
| | | | | By Share of Profit | — | 1,000 |
| Total | 11,000 | 7,800 | | Total | 11,000 | 7,800 |
The balance in the Current Account can be debit (overdrawn) or credit (undrawn profit).
The Profit and Loss Appropriation Account
This is the heart of partnership accounting. It shows how the net profit is distributed among partners — not how it is earned.
The Profit and Loss Appropriation Account is an extension of the Profit and Loss Account. It starts with Net Profit (from the P&L Account) and then shows appropriations.
Format:
Profit and Loss Appropriation Account
| Particulars | Amount (₹) | | Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| To Interest on Capital: | | | By Net Profit (transferred from P&L A/c) | 1,00,000 |
| — A | 6,000 | | By Interest on Drawings: | |
| — B | 4,000 | | — A | 500 |
| To Partner's Salary: | | | — B | 300 |
| — A | 12,000 | | | |
| To Partner's Commission: | | | | |
| — B | 8,000 | | | |
| To Profit transferred to: | | | | |
| — A's Current A/c (3/5) | 42,120 | | | |
| — B's Current A/c (2/5) | 28,080 | | | |
| Total | 1,00,800 | | Total | 1,00,800 |
Notice: The total on the debit side equals the total on the credit side. The net profit plus interest on drawings is the distributable profit. …
On the death of a partner, any General Reserve standing in the books belongs to all partners and is distributed among all of them (including the deceased) in their OLD profit-sharing ratio. …
General Reserve is distributed in the old profit-sharing ratio among all partners including the deceased.
A General Reserve represents undistributed past profits earned while all the partners (including the one who has died) were together. On the death of a partner it is therefore credited to every partner's capital/current account in the old ratio, so that the deceased partner's estate gets a rightful share of past profits.

- CBSE 2026Set 67/4/11 markMCQQ.Ravi, Sunil and Amit were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 5. On 1st April, 2025, Ravi retired. Sunil and Amit decided to share future profits in the ratio of 2 : 3. After all adjustments with respect to general reserve, goodwill and revaluation, etc., the balances in the capital accounts of Ravi, Sunil and Amit stood at ₹ 3,00,000; ₹ 2,40,000 and ₹ 3,60,000 respectively. It was decided that the amount payable to Ravi will be brought by Sunil and Amit in such a way so as to make their capitals proportionate to their new profit sharing ratio. The amount brought in by Sunil and Amit will be : (A) Sunil ₹ 1,00,000, Amit ₹ 2,00,000 (B) Sunil ₹ 1,20,000, Amit ₹ 1,80,000 (C) Sunil ₹ 1,50,000, Amit ₹ 1,50,000 (D) Sunil ₹ 80,000, Amit ₹ 2,20,000
›Reveal solutionSolution
After Ravi’s retirement, Sunil and Amit adjust their capitals to be proportionate to their new profit-sharing ratio (2:3). The required additional contributions are Sunil ₹1,20,000 and Amit ₹1,80,000 — option (B).
Concept First — Why This Treatment?
When a partner retires, the continuing partners often decide to adjust their capital accounts so that the capitals are in the new profit-sharing ratio. This ensures that capital contributions align with the risk and reward sharing going forward. The amount payable to the retiring partner is brought in by the continuing partners in the same proportion as their new ratio, unless otherwise agreed.
The key rule: Total capital of the new firm is determined first (usually based on the retiring partner’s capital or a mutually agreed figure), then each continuing partner’s capital is calculated as their share of that total. The difference between this required capital and their existing balance is the amount they must bring in (or withdraw).
Watch outCommon Pitfall
Students often mistakenly use the old ratio to divide the amount payable to the retiring partner. Remember: after retirement, the continuing partners share future profits in the new ratio, so the capital adjustment must also follow the new ratio.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Determine the Total Capital of the New Firm
After all adjustments (general reserve, goodwill, revaluation), the balances are:
- Ravi: ₹3,00,000 (this is the amount payable to him)
- Sunil: ₹2,40,000
- Amit: ₹3,60,000
The continuing partners (Sunil and Amit) decide to bring in cash so that their capitals become proportionate to their new ratio of 2:3.
The total capital of the new firm is not simply the sum of Sunil and Amit’s existing capitals. Instead, we use the retiring partner’s capital as a base. Since Ravi’s capital is ₹3,00,000 and his old share was 4/12, the total capital of the firm before retirement was:
Total old capital = Ravi’s capital ÷ his old share = ₹3,00,000 ÷ (4/12) = ₹3,00,000 × 12/4 = ₹9,00,000
But after retirement, the firm’s capital belongs only to Sunil and Amit. Their combined existing capital is ₹2,40,000 + ₹3,60,000 = ₹6,00,000. The difference of ₹3,00,000 (Ravi’s capital) is what needs to be brought in by Sunil and Amit.
TipShortcut
The amount payable to the retiring partner (₹3,00,000) is exactly the amount that the continuing partners must bring in total. This amount is then divided in the new profit-sharing ratio (2:3) to find each partner’s contribution.
Step 2: Calculate the Amount to be Brought in by Each Partner
Total amount to be brought in = ₹3,00,000 (Ravi’s capital)
New ratio of Sunil : Amit = 2 : 3
Sunil’s share = 2/5 × ₹3,00,000 = ₹1,20,000
Amit’s share = 3/5 × ₹3,00,000 = ₹1,80,000
Step 3: Verify the New Capital Balances
After bringing in the cash:
Sunil’s new capital = ₹2,40,000 + ₹1,20,000 = ₹3,60,000
Amit’s new capital = ₹3,60,000 + ₹1,80,000 = ₹5,40,000
Check proportionality: Sunil : Amit = ₹3,60,000 : ₹5,40,000 = 2 : 3 ✓ …
- CBSE 2026Set 67/4/11 markMCQQ.Dinesh, Siddharth and Naina were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. On 31st March, 2025, they decided to dissolve the firm. On this date, the firm had debtors amounting to ₹ 2,10,000 and provision for doubtful debts of ₹ 20,000. On dissolution, debtors of ₹ 10,000 proved bad and the remaining debtors realised 90%. Amount realised from debtors will be : (A) ₹ 1,71,000 (B) ₹ 2,00,000 (C) ₹ 1,80,000 (D) ₹ 1,89,000
›Reveal solutionSolution
Amount realised from debtors on dissolution = ₹1,80,000 (Option C).
Concept: Realisation of Debtors on Dissolution
When a partnership firm dissolves, all assets are converted into cash through a Realisation Account. Debtors represent amounts owed to the firm, and their realisation involves two steps:
- Identify the book value of debtors (gross debtors minus any provision for doubtful debts already created).
- Determine actual cash realised based on what is collected and what proves irrecoverable.
The provision for doubtful debts is an accounting estimate created before dissolution. On dissolution, we ignore this provision and work with the actual outcome: which debtors pay and which don't. The Realisation Account is debited with the book value of debtors (net of provision) and credited with the actual cash received.
Watch outA common mistake is to deduct the provision for doubtful debts from the amount realised. The provision is merely an accounting adjustment already made in the books; on dissolution, we focus on actual realisations. The ₹20,000 provision is irrelevant to the cash calculation.
Treatment on Dissolution
Step 1: Transfer debtors to Realisation Account at their net book value:
- Gross Debtors = ₹2,10,000
- Less: Provision for Doubtful Debts = ₹20,000
- Net Book Value = ₹1,90,000
The Realisation Account is debited with ₹1,90,000 (the asset taken over for realisation).
Step 2: Determine actual cash realised:
- Debtors proving bad = ₹10,000 (these yield zero cash)
- Remaining debtors = ₹2,10,000 − ₹10,000 = ₹2,00,000
- These remaining debtors realise 90% of their face value
- Cash realised = 90% of ₹2,00,000 = ₹1,80,000
The Realisation Account is credited with ₹1,80,000 (cash received), and Bank/Cash Account is debited.
Solution
Working Note 1: Calculation of Amount Realised from Debtors
Particulars Amount (₹) Total (Gross) Debtors 2,10,000 Less: Debtors proving bad 10,000 Good Debtors 2,00,000 Realisation percentage 90% Cash Realised (90% of ₹2,00,000) 1,80,000 The provision for doubtful debts (₹20,000) does not enter this calculation. It was an accounting estimate; the actual bad debts are ₹10,000, and the actual collection rate on the remaining ₹2,00,000 is 90%.

- CBSE 2026Set 67/5/11 markMCQQ.Sushil and Sapna were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. On 31st March, 2025, the firm was dissolved. On the date of dissolution there existed a balance of ₹ 1,20,000 in sundry creditors account. The sundry creditors were payable after three months. They were paid immediately at a discount of 12% p.a. The amount paid to sundry creditors was : (A) ₹ 1,20,000 (B) ₹ 1,23,600 (C) ₹ 1,16,400 (D) ₹ 1,34,400
›Reveal solutionSolution
The sundry creditors, originally ₹1,20,000, were paid immediately at a 12% p.a. discount for three months, resulting in a payment of ₹1,16,400.
When a partnership firm undergoes dissolution, the primary objective is to close down its operations by realising all assets and settling all liabilities. To achieve this, a special account called the Realisation Account is prepared. This account serves as a temporary ledger to record all transactions related to the sale of assets and payment of liabilities, ultimately determining the profit or loss arising from the dissolution process.
External liabilities, such as Sundry Creditors, are first transferred to the credit side of the Realisation Account. This closes their individual ledger accounts and brings them into the dissolution process. When these liabilities are subsequently paid, the Realisation Account is debited, and the Bank/Cash Account is credited. Debiting the Realisation Account signifies an expense or loss incurred during the dissolution, as funds are being used to settle the firm's obligations.
In this specific scenario, the Sundry Creditors were due after three months but were paid immediately. Paying a liability before its due date often results in a discount, as the creditor receives their money earlier than anticipated. This discount reduces the actual cash outflow from the firm. The discount is calculated on the original amount of the liability for the period by which the payment is advanced, at the agreed annual rate. The amount actually paid is the original liability less this discount.
The accounting treatment for the payment of creditors at a discount involves:
- Transfer of Creditors: (Though not explicitly asked for, conceptually, Sundry Creditors Account is debited to close it, and Realisation Account is credited).
- Payment of Creditors: Realisation Account is debited with the actual amount paid (original amount minus discount), and the Bank/Cash Account is credited with the same amount, reflecting the reduction in cash.
Working Notes
-
Calculation of Discount on Sundry Creditors
Original amount of Sundry Creditors = ₹1,20,000
Discount rate = 12% p.a.
Period for which discount is received = 3 months (since payment was made 3 months before the due date)
Discount = Original Amount × Rate × Period
Discount = ₹1,20,000 × 10012 × 123
Discount = ₹1,20,000 × 0.12 × 0.25

Concept: Deceased Partner's Share of Profit till Death
When a partner dies during the accounting year, the firm has not yet closed its books and the current year's profit is unknown. The deceased partner is entitled to his share of profit from the beginning of the accounting year up to the date of death. Since the actual profit cannot be determined immediately, it is calculated on an agreed basis—commonly on the basis of the previous year's profit, adjusted proportionately for the period.
The accounting treatment follows the golden rule for personal accounts: Debit what goes out, Credit what comes in. Khan's Capital Account (a personal account representing his claim) must be credited because the firm owes him his profit share. The corresponding debit goes to Profit and Loss Suspense Account, a temporary account that holds this liability until the final accounts are prepared and the actual profit is ascertained.
The entry is:
Profit and Loss Suspense Account Dr.
To Deceased Partner's Capital Account
This recognizes the firm's obligation to pay the deceased partner's share without waiting for year-end finalization.
Solution
Step 1: Determine the time period
Khan died on 31st December 2024. The firm's accounting year runs from 1st April to 31st March. Therefore, Khan was alive for the period:
- 1st April 2024 to 31st December 2024 = 9 months (out of 12 months)
Step 2: Calculate Khan's share of profit
Khan's profit-sharing ratio = 51 (in the ratio 2 : 2 : 1, total = 5 parts)
Previous year's profit (year ended 31st March 2024) = ₹6,00,000
Khan's share for the full year = 51×6,00,000=₹1,20,000
Khan's share for 9 months = 1,20,000×129=₹90,000

If assets realised ₹7,20,000 and realisation expenses of ₹8,000 were paid, the profit or loss on realisation will be : (A) Loss ₹1,20,000 (B) Profit ₹1,20,000 (C) Loss ₹1,12,000 (D) Profit ₹1,12,000
›Reveal solutionSolution
Profit on realisation = ₹1,12,000 (Option D) — the excess of the net amount realised from assets (after realisation expenses) over the book value of those assets. Liabilities settled at book value cause no gain or loss.
At dissolution, a Realisation Account is opened. All assets (except cash/bank) are transferred to its debit at book value and all outside liabilities to its credit at book value. The cash actually realised on assets is credited, and the amounts paid to settle liabilities and the realisation expenses are debited. The balancing figure is the profit or loss on realisation, shared by the partners in their profit-sharing ratio.
Key insight: because the outside liabilities (₹2,40,000) are both transferred in (credit) and paid off (debit) at the same ₹2,40,000, they cancel out and have no effect on the realisation profit. So the profit is simply the net cash realised from the assets minus the book value of those assets.
