S1: In a partnership, if a partner retires, his loan to the firm is transferred to his loan account, which is a liability for the firm. S2: If the retiring partner's loan is not settled immediately, it is treated as a loan and interest is allowed as per the deed or at 6% p.a. if the deed is silent. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
A. S2 only
B. S1 only
C. Both S1 and S2
D. Neither S1 nor S2
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Both statements are correct. Upon retirement, the partner's capital balance is transferred to his loan account if not paid immediately. This becomes a liability, and interest is charged to the P&L Account at the agreed rate or 6% p.a. if silent.
