05 June 2010 hi...

I would like to know the accounting entry for payment made through self cheque. Is the following entry correct?

Cash A/c Dr.
to Bank A/c

Expense A/c Dr.
to Cash A/c

We have to route it through bank A/c?

05 June 2010 From the question i understood that you have given self cheque to your creditor on account of some expenses incurred instead of writing the cheque at his name.

If that is the case, you can make the following entry:

Expense a/c Dr.
To Bank a/c

And write proper narration to clarify the transaction

05 June 2010 My view Self cheque always route through cash contra entry. if not while audit the issue will be viewed seriously

06 June 2010 thnks....

I hav routed it through cash contra only.
