1. The assessee is not required furnish instrument of partnership every year but should do so only in the first year. In your case as there is no change in the constitution of the firm or in the share of partners, the requirement of submission of revised deed u/s.184(3) is not applicable. The remuneration, if paid in accordance with the original deed and within limits prescribed u/s.40(b), cannot be disallowed.

2. There is no need to execute fresh deed every year. Thus the salary cannot be disallowed.

3. Views of the queriest learned Mr. Puneet Virmani and learned Mr. DARSHAN JAIN also that of learned Mr. Manoj Gupta are correct. The partnership deed was filed in the first year and then there was no change requiring the firm to file another copy of partnership deed. As stated in query, in the second year deduction of salary was also allowed in regular assessment made u/s 143 (3). Therefore, the matter stand settled with a formed opinion of the AO.The AO cannot disallow salary of partners for alleged failure to a file a copy of partnership deed. Check if the AO is contemplating some calculation mistake in the amount allowed. Further more except calculation mistake this does not appear a matter rectifiable u/s 154/ 155.
