03 July 2008 Treatment depends upon the type of Customer. If the company have regular transactions with the concerned customer then there will be no seperate disclosure or other requirement. Just the party ledger' ll be credited by debiting the Cheque in Hand Account.

However if the customer was classified as debtors without raising any bill then same may be taken as Advances from parties.
