13 January 2012 my client has availed an educational loan from the bank and he has been repaying the interest to that educational loan. Now i would like to know how it is shown in his books of accounts while he is filing his individual income returns ? the loan amount was directly paid by the bank to the concerned college authorities.

12 May 2012 Normally books of accounts are maintained for a business and transactions related to business are recorded in books of accounts.
Education loan is not related to business.

However, if you still want to record the same, entries will be as under:

1. Grant of Loan
Drawings A/c Dr
To Education Loan

2. Repayment
Education Loan A/c Dr
Interest on Loan A/c Dr
To Bank A/c
