Partnership Deed Clauses Covered in the Handwritten Notes

The deed page lists the standard 12 clauses CBSE expects you to reproduce in a 3-mark or 4-mark direct question. Each clause sits on a single ruled line with a tick-mark, so the entire deed structure fits on one notebook page.

If the deed is silent on any of clauses 4 to 8, the Indian Partnership Act 1932 imposes the Section 13 defaults that the notes carry on the very next page.

Fixed vs Fluctuating Capital Format: Side-by-Side Diagram in the Notes

One full page of the handwritten PDF places the Fixed Capital format and the Fluctuating Capital format next to each other so you can see which item goes where. The Collegedunia revision team rewrote this page after CBSE marked a 2024 boards answer down for putting drawings inside the Capital Account under the fixed-capital method.

• Fixed Capital method: two accounts per partner. Capital A/c carries only the opening capital plus any fresh capital introduced or withdrawn permanently. Current A/c carries IOC, salary, commission, share of profit, IOD, and drawings.
• Fluctuating Capital method: one account per partner. Every item (IOC, salary, share of profit, drawings, IOD) goes inside the single Capital A/c, so the closing balance changes every year.
• Default rule: if the deed is silent, the Fluctuating Capital method is used.
• Sign of a fixed-capital question: the problem statement mentions a Current Account or explicitly says "capital accounts are to remain unchanged".

Putting drawings inside the Capital A/c when the question follows the fixed-capital method is the single most common 2-mark deduction in this chapter.

Interest on Capital and Interest on Drawings Shortcuts

The handwritten formula box page distills IOC and IOD into four shortcuts CBSE toppers use to finish the appropriation problem in under 8 minutes.

1. IOC base formula: IOC = Opening Capital × Rate × Time. If capital is introduced or withdrawn mid-year, split the period and add the two parts.
2. IOD direct method: when drawings are irregular and dates are given, compute interest amount-by-amount using the time from date of drawing to year-end.
3. IOD product method: Interest = (Sum of products / 12) × Rate / 100. Build a product column by multiplying each drawing by the months it stayed with the partner.
4. IOD average-period method: when drawings are equal and at regular intervals, use the six standard average periods below to skip the product table entirely.

Memorising these six numbers alone saves roughly 3 to 4 minutes per IOD problem in the board paper.

Handwritten P&L Appropriation Account Sample Format

The final formula page reproduces a full Profit & Loss Appropriation Account in T-account form, hand-drawn, with every standard item on its correct side. This is the page CBSE examiners want to see mirrored in the answer sheet.

The notes stress one rule examiners check first: IOC, partner's salary, and transfer to reserve are appropriations, never charges. They appear in this account, not in the main Profit & Loss Account. Interest on partner's loan, in contrast, is a charge and is debited above the line, before the net profit reaches this appropriation statement.
