    as per deed. Book profit is Rs. 10,00,000. What is the maximum allowable deduction for partner’s salary under Section 40(b)?
    A Rs. 1,50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 2,50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 3,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 6,90,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 5,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Book profit = ₹10,00,000 Allowable salary = • 90% of first ₹3,00,000 = ₹2,70,000 • 60% of remaining ₹7,00,000 = ₹4,20,000 • Total = ₹6,90,000 Paid = ₹3,00,000 → fully allowable But maximum allowable is ₹6,90,000, so ₹3,00,000 is within limit, but the correct answer should reflect the maximum allowable, which is ₹6,90,000.
