29 September 2015

We have seen the growth of e-shopping so will paytm cash or any other cash backs if in a substantial amount on 31st march form part as asset of an individual's balance sheet...

The balance in bank account is also a type of virtual money, which can be encashed when we want. The PayTm wallet cashback can also be encashed in several ways. So its a Current Assets definitely I think

suppose we bought a product" X" for Rs 1500 by paying actual cash of Rs 1500 and cash back was 750 so the entry will be X-750 paytm cash back-750....dr to Cash/Bank-1500 hence effective recording of the asset will be at Rs 750 and Paytm Cash back an asset created..
