16 November 2011 in case of the second entry , do i have to debit Chit Collection Account as well ?

16 November 2011 No chit collection account is not to be debited.
The chit collection account will be maintained as credit balance.

Chit collection (Cr) = Chit recoverable (Dr) + Surplus collection (Dr)

amy (Querist)
16 November 2011 so Chit collection a/c & Chit Recoverable A/c will be having the same balance as at the end of the year , with Chit Collection A/c showing cr balance & Chit Recoverable A/c showing debit balance ?
