Question : An existing partnership may accept a new partner -
Option 1: With the consent of majority of partners
Option 2: With the consent of all old partners
Option 3: With the consent of 2/3rd of old partners
Option 4: With the consent of any one partner
Correct Answer: With the consent of all old partners
Solution : The Partnership Act of 1932 states that, unless otherwise agreed upon, a new partner may only be allowed into the firm with the permission of all the current partners. The partner contributes a predetermined amount of capital, either in cash or in kind, in exchange for the right to acquire a portion of the partnership firm's assets and profits.
Hence the correct answer is option 2.
