No. The collection of the cheque in Partner's individual name in the firm's account is against the intent of the drawer of the cheque who had crossed the cheque as Account Payee unless it is endorsed by the payee in favour of the firm.
In this context, to my knowledge RBI has prohibited such endorsement also.
