their profit sharing ratio. My questions are as under.

Answer / engineer

No IT for firm. Only capital increased, not profits.
No depreciation is allowed as no purchase of asset has taken place.
Partner has to pay income tax on the withdrawn capital depending on type of asset. If it is building etc there are indexation and long term capital gain exemption. But otherwise, by withdrawing the capital the asset has been sold to other 2 partners and a profit has been made and therefore liable to IT as rules of IT.
When the firm is dissolved and capital is taken back by the partners, there will be no IT.
Retirement causes payment of income tax.
these are my understanding. CA will answer this better
