10 August 2009 Payment of LI Premia has to be debited in Capital Account as this is not business expenses. As such, it would not be debited in P&L A/c. Hence, your first entry is right one.

On maturity or on money back, the receipt would be creditedd to capital account as Maturity Receipt or Survival Benefit Receipt as the case may be.
