This discussion explores the correct placement of Public Provident Fund (PPF) and Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) premiums on a personal balance sheet. The consensus leans towards treating PPF as a current asset, akin to a bank balance. For LIC premiums, the surrender value is suggested as the appropriate asset-side entry, rather than reducing capital like drawings. The query also touches upon whether TDS and advance tax should be classified as drawings.

Hi, I am trying to make my personal balance sheet. I deposited 1,50,000 Rs. in PPF. Now will this amount show where : 1. Drawings on Liabilities side as well as on Current Assets side. 2. Only on Current Assets side.
Similarly what will be the treatment for LIC Premium. I have salary income.
