Issues: Whether the firm was a genuine partnership entitled to registration under section 26A of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922, for the assessment year 1960-61.
Analysis: The decisive test was whether the business in the relevant accounting year was carried on in conformity with the instrument of partnership. The capital contributions of the new partners were found to have been introduced by transfer entries after the stated commencement of the firm, which did not accord with the terms of the deed. The recitals that the sons had entered the firm in place of paid employment were also not reflected in practice, as they continued to draw salaries and remain in the staff register. Further, the deed authorised every partner to operate the banking arrangements, but the actual operation of the accounts was restricted to selected partners, showing non-observance of a material term of the partnership deed.
Conclusion: The firm was not a genuine partnership for the purpose of registration and was not entitled to registration under section 26A.
Final Conclusion: The reference was answered against the assessee and the claim for registration failed because the partnership business was not shown to have been carried on in accordance with the material terms of the deed.
Ratio Decidendi: A partnership is entitled to registration only if, during the relevant accounting year, its business is actually carried on in conformity with the material terms of the operative partnership deed.
