Hey Amit, when we issue bill to our creditor, it is called Bills payable. Bills receivable, when issued by our debtors, means that the debtor has made the payment and money has again been advanced to him. that is why it is removed from debtors and included in loans and advances as per Schedule VI.

All the money received from that specific project/ purpose is deposited into this account and it is ensure that payment from this account is only related to that project/ purpose. This account basically ensures that the investor's money is used for the given purpose/ project and not diverted elsewhere.
