27 June 2025 Dear Experts,

For our Gratuity the plan assets is LIC. So we make contributions every year and the amount is reduced from our Gratuity provision in Books. Now, One employee transferred from Group company to our company. So the gratuity of his is transferred to our LIC Account. Now, the LIC Fund statement shows the premium received is Rs 39 lacs paid by us from our bank account. And the gratuity of the employee Rs 2 lacs is also shown as premium received in LIC fund statement. The issue is for the 39 lacs paid, we can pass entry as

Gratuity provision A/c Dr Rs 39 lacs
To Bank Rs 39 lacs

But for the employee's gratuity amount Rs 2 lacs what entry should I pass in books. The Actuarial Valuation report shows that the total employer contribution is Rs 41 Lacs (Rs 39+Rs 2 lacs).

I will debit Gratuity provision with Rs 2 lacs but what ledger should corresponding credit carry. Our company follows Accounting Standards.
