Question : On 1 January 2020, a partner advanced a loan of Rs.1,00,000 to the firm. In absence of a deed, interest on loan payable on 31st March 2020 will be:
Option 1: Nil
Option 2: Rs.1,500
Option 3: Rs.6,000
Option 4: Rs.3,000
Correct Answer: Rs.1,500
Solution :
Time from 1st January 2020 to 31st March 2020 = 3 months
Rate of interest on loan = 6% p.a.
Interest on loan = Rs,1,00,000 X 6% X 3/12 = Rs.1,500.
Note: Even if the deed is silent on the interest on loan, a partner will get an interest of 6% per annum on the loan provided to the Partnership Firm
Hence, the correct option is 2.
