10 July 2024 In the context of a non-corporate entity's balance sheet format where details are typically listed under the proprietor or owner's capital section, additional investments or assets such as Insurance policies, PPF (Public Provident Fund) deposits, and health insurance are generally not included directly under the capital account. Here’s how you can handle these items:

### Including Insurance Policies, PPF Deposits, and Health Insurance:

1. **Insurance Policies**:
- Insurance policies owned by the proprietor or owner are considered personal assets and are typically not included in the business's balance sheet unless they are specifically related to the business (e.g., key person insurance).
- Personal insurance policies (such as life insurance) are listed under personal assets or investments outside of the business balance sheet.

2. **PPF Deposits**:
- PPF deposits are personal savings and investments and are also not included in the business's balance sheet. They belong to the proprietor or owner personally.
- These can be listed under personal investments or savings in the proprietor's personal financial records.

3. **Health Insurance**:
- Health insurance premiums or policies covering the proprietor or owner are personal expenses and are not recorded on the business balance sheet.
- They are typically managed and recorded in the proprietor's personal financial statements or records.

### Balance Sheet Structure:

- **Capital Account**: The capital account of the proprietor or owner on the balance sheet usually includes:
- Opening balance of capital as at the beginning of the financial year.
- Capital introduced or withdrawn during the year.
- Share of profit or loss for the year.
- Closing balance of capital as at the end of the financial year.

- **Personal Assets and Investments**: Insurance policies, PPF deposits, and health insurance should be recorded separately in the proprietor's personal financial statements or records.

### Example Structure:

- **Proprietor's Personal Assets and Investments (Outside of Business Balance Sheet)**:
- Life Insurance Policies
- Health Insurance Policies
- PPF Deposits
- Any other personal investments

### Conclusion:

In summary, for a non-corporate entity's balance sheet, the focus is on the business's financial position and the proprietor's capital account. Personal assets and investments such as insurance policies, PPF deposits, and health insurance are not part of the business balance sheet and should be managed and recorded separately in the proprietor's personal financial records. This separation helps maintain clarity and accuracy in financial reporting for both business and personal finances.
