Dear,

As per company law the Books of Account should be preapered on 'accrual' basis, so in this case also the Interest is being accrued so it would be disclosed in b/s.

If the loan is secured, show interest due but not paid under secured loans. If not, show under current liabilities and provisions.

Dear Radhika, Interest due but not paid should be disclosed in the balance sheet as per schedule VI of the companies Act, 1956. As Mayur Sir has rightly pointed that books of accounts must follow accrual method of accounting. Regards, Jayesh

There are two things.

Interest due but not paid is your liability. It should be credited to such loan account.

But interest accured but not due is not liability at present. But as per accural basis of accounting such interest should be provided in books. It will be shown as Interest accured but not due under current liability.

Interest accured but not due means,

suppose you have to pay interest half yearly that is June and december.

As for as 31st march is concern you would have paid interest till december. But interest for the period of jan, feb, and march will he paid in june. Now it is not your liability. So this interest will be shown in interest accured but not due.
