Compare the status of a minor in a Joint Hindu Family Business with that in a partnership firm.

Solution
In a Joint Hindu Family Business, minor becomes member of HUF as soon as he takes birth in HUF but in partnership firm, minor cannot become a partner in any firm because he is incompetent to enter into a valid contract with others. However, he can be admitted to the benefits of a partnership firm with the mutual consent of all other partners.
