I want to know the entries that a Bank has to pass while doing the following things.

1) If a Bank "X"  has provided insurance agent services to an insurance company and the Bank "X" will get paid from an insurance company by means of agent commission. To get this commission, Bank "X" has to raise a tax invoice for the services it provided to the insurance company and has to file gstr 1 of the concerned period. Here, what are the entries that Bank "X" have to pass in their books of accounts when raising this tax invoice or  it doesn't need to pass any entries Please clarify in brief.

Here can I replace insurance company account with a commission receivable account. Please reply.

Yes, you can replace the insurance company account with the commission receivable account.

 

Thank you very much for your valuable reply sir.

Here we are debiting our receivables without getting payment from the company. I think it will be riskier if we didn't get payment from the insurance company. We have any other way to avoid debiting receivables or it's a must? Please clarify. 

here, as per accounting standard -9 revenue recognisation if there is full certanity abount collection of money and all the risk and reward transfer to buyer then, recognise revenue forthwith, and not waiting for actully receipt of money. so, in the given case when service provided and raising of invoice then revenue recogniseto commision account . here it is must to debit either sundry receivables account or directly insurance company account,. here you can also make provision for doughtful debt. and it is used when actually bad debt accured. any further query or clarificate please ask again.

Thanks Akshay Sir for your clear cut explanation.
