If you are paying premium on insurance, create a premium account in ledger..
If you are receiving a claim through cheque, there should already be a National insurance co. (debtor/receivables) Ledger.
The above is correct because you don’t need a provision for insurance as the occurrence of claims is very rare. Next, since prepaid insurance is a real asset, create a separate account if you want to keep track of the expenses under current assets. Then add insurance premium account to indirect expenses account

@ Mukherjee
If you use accruals, which is the case, there is no other entry which best suits the scenario here. Usually, ERP’s commonly use purchases, expenses, capital,cash/bank and insurance ledgers. Supposing, if you purchased it with cash
Insurance a/c
To cash a/c
but how will one record the expense?
Insurance expense a/c
To Insurance co. a/c
then to recognise an asset, its
Insurance co. a/c
To Cash a/c
this insurance co. is treated as Sundry creditors which is again related to payables or suppliers account. It depends upon what ledger accounts people use.
