Hello,
Think of Contract Account as a personal account.
As a contractor, when you are giving the material to the contract:
Contract account: Personal: Debit the receiver.
Material account: Asset: Credit what goes out.
Similarly, As a contractor, when you are getting back the material from the contract:
Material: Asset: Debit what comes in.
Contract: Personal: Credit the giver.
Therefore in Contract A/c,
By, Plant returned to site.
Regards,
Subhash.
