09 July 2012 1. Loans and advances on the asset means loans/advances GIVEN by the entity to other persons. The entity is entitled to recover the same from these persons, accordingly these are assets

2. Loans on the liability mean loans TAKEN/ACCEPTED/OBTAINED by the entity from other persons.The entity is liable to repay these amounts to the respective persons, accordingly it is a liability for the entity.
