29 February 2020 @Mathenthiran: I think you have asked from accounting point of view.. Hope EPF liability was created along with the salary.So you may book the excess payment as interest in the payment entry.. EPF Payable /EPF Liability A/c Dr Interest A/c Dr To Bank Else Alternatively: Pass journal entry for interest portion: Interest A/c Dr To EPF Payable/EPF Liability EPF liability to Bank If interest portion is not accounted properly then there will be debit balance in EPF liability ledger
