Hello All I am Sanjay. I want your guidance in this point. My wife has incurred expenses of ticket etc for her mother from her account say Rs.10000/-, but my mother in law has deposited the amount in my account not her daughter's a/c. What will be the accounting entry in my books of account and my wife's books. Kindly explain broadly by giving entry. Regards Sanjay
