Certainly! Let’s discuss how to account for shares purchased using the e-margin facility provided by brokers in Tally. I’ll provide step-by-step instructions along with examples:
-
Understanding E-Margin Facility:
- The e-margin facility allows you to trade in the stock market with borrowed funds from your broker.
- When you purchase shares using e-margin, you’re essentially trading on margin (using borrowed money).
-
Accounting Entries in Tally:
- We’ll assume that you’re purchasing shares using the e-margin facility from HDFC Securities.
-
Example Scenario:
- Let’s say you purchase 100 shares of XYZ Ltd. at Rs. 200 per share using e-margin.
-
Accounting Entries:
-
Step 1: Create a Purchase Entry
- Go to Gateway of Tally > Accounting Vouchers > F9: Purchase.
- Select the relevant party ledger (HDFC Securities).
- Enter the details of the shares purchased:
- Ledger: XYZ Ltd.
- Quantity: 100
- Rate: Rs. 200
- Save the entry.
-
Step 2: Record the Margin Amount
- Create a separate ledger for the margin amount (e.g., “Margin Payable”).
- Debit the “Margin Payable” ledger and credit the bank ledger (from where you received the margin amount).
-
Step 3: Interest Expense (if applicable)
- If you’re paying interest on the borrowed funds, create a separate ledger for interest expense.
- Debit the interest expense ledger and credit the bank ledger.
-
Tally Example Entries:
- Assuming you received a margin of Rs. 20,000 from HDFC Securities:
- Purchase Entry:
- XYZ Ltd. Dr. 20,000
- To HDFC Securities (Party) 20,000
- Margin Payable Entry:
- Margin Payable Dr. 20,000
- To Bank (from where you received the margin) 20,000
-
Interest Expense (if applicable):
- If you’re paying interest, create an interest expense ledger and record the relevant entries.
Remember to adjust the entries based on your actual transaction details. Consult with a professional accountant if needed. 😊
