A partnership deed usually doesn't contain the following details:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

A partnership deed is a legal document prepared at the time of formation of a partnership firm. It contains all essential terms and conditions agreed upon by the partners to run the business.

The deed typically includes:

  • Names, addresses, and details of all partners
  • Nature and place of business
  • Capital contribution by each partner
  • Profit and Loss sharing ratio
  • Rights, duties, and obligations of partners
  • Interest on capital and drawings
  • Salary/commission to partners (if any)
  • Mode of appointment of auditors
  • Admission and retirement procedures
  • Settlement of accounts procedures

Option 4 is correct because the date of dissolving the partnership firm is not mentioned in the partnership deed at the time of formation.

When partners form a partnership, they intend to run the business for an indefinite period or for a specific purpose. They do not predetermine or mention a dissolution date while drafting the deed. Dissolution occurs later due to various reasons such as:

  • Mutual agreement
  • Death or insolvency of a partner
  • Court order
  • Expiry of the term (if partnership was for a fixed period)
  • Completion of venture (if formed for a specific purpose)

The dissolution terms and procedures may be mentioned in the deed, but the actual date of dissolution is not predetermined and hence not included in the partnership deed.
