10 February 2011 Hello Experts
I am sanjay this side. I want valuable advise on one entry in Tally. There is a car in the co's book and the insurance claimed by the co and the cheque has been recieved. I want to know that this amount is treated as an income of the co or the value of car has to be increased.
the entry should be:
Bank A/c Dr
Insurance Claim A/c Cr and this account is under Indirect Income head while creating the account in tally.
Kindly advise.
thanks and regards
sanjay

Your entry is correct. You should create "Insurance Claim Received" A/c under Indirect Income as it is not directly related to business activity. Secondly it never increases the value of the Car in any way.
