The partner is entitled to receive interest at 5% per annum on the additional cash loan advanced to the firm.

Identify the applicable statutory default rules under the Partnership Act when no formal Partnership Deed is executed.
The Partnership Act provides default provisions that automatically govern partner rights regarding salaries, profit sharing, interest on capital, and loans.
In the absence of an express written agreement, statutory implied terms take legal effect.
2
Evaluate each potential financial entitlement against the statutory provisions.
Loans advanced beyond capital earn 5% interest per annum, while salaries and interest on capital are barred, and profits must be split equally.
The law specifically encourages partners to provide temporary financial advances by granting them a guaranteed statutory interest rate of 5% per annum.
