Interest on customer's overdue account

kannan (jobless) (263 Points)

For the interest on overdue

my book entry is

Individual customer A/c Dr.

To Interest / charges A/c


My doubt regarding this entry is

why don't we pass this entry as:

Interest receivable A/c Dr.

To Interest A/c
(Latter entry is my view)


Help me kindly
