Salary is a Nominal Account & appers in the P&L A/c

while salary payable is a personal account & appears under current Liabilities

salary advance also is a personal account & appears under Current asssets : Loans & Advances

Mr.Santhosh is right. Salary is nominal account which is charged as expenditure.

By definition, a Salary Account is a type of Savings Account, in which the employer of the account holder deposits a fixed amount of money as 'salary' every month. It is an expense account and is a nominal account.
