Can a partnership firm have a minor partner?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A minor partner is a partner who is not major (not completed 18 years). A minor cannot enter into a contract according to Section 20 of Partnership Act. A contract with minor is void. Since partnership is a relation resulting from contact, therefore a minor cannot be a partner in a firm.
