thanks alot Mr. Ali

agree with mr vishal. A minor can not be a partner ,but in an existing partnership , a minor can be admitted in to a firm if all the partner of the firm agree.

Minors cannot be a partner, but can be admitted to partnership for the benifit, likewise he/she can be partner in profit only , all his activity will have to go through a proper gurdain till the age of attainment of adulthood.
