Due and Accrue


This query is : Resolved 

13 February 2010 What is the difference between Due and Accrue

14 February 2010 due mean pending from long time and accrue mean those things mean .. now we need to pay

14 February 2010 To understand the difference between the two, please refer :


1. Accrued But Not Due

When you put one FDR into bank for one year on 31 01 2010; then interest accrues for 2 months for the financial year ending on 31 03 2010. But interest does not become due because right now you cann't claim from the bank. It will be due only on maturity.


2. Accrued & Due

When you can claim the maturity value.

MORAL :

WITHOUT ACCRUING; NOTHING IS DUE.



14 February 2010 I would like to explain it with example, it might be helpful for you to understand difference between due and accrue.

At the year end or beginning, generally this problem came with us.

Telephone bills

calls made by us till 31st march ..... has accured but we have nt recd the bill for that. Bill for month of march will be received in the month of april and also some due date is dere to pay.

so vl be classified as accured but not due

FDRs

In case of FDRs, maturity amount will be recd on maturity date (i.e. due date) but interest on principal amount of FDRs accrued day by day.

I think frm above two example it would be more clear to u

20 February 2010 agree with deepika
