06 February 2012 Dear fried first it shows that your business is a proprietorship business. In this case all deductions from above account will be shown as Drawings or Loan & Advances received from business.

20 July 2025 Thanks for your question regarding using the funds and accounting treatment for your Cash Credit (CC) account in a proprietorship business.

Scenario:
CC Account limit: ₹2L (working capital loan against stock/debtor etc.)
You want to invest ₹8L - ₹1L = ₹7L (excess funds) in purchasing land/flat from this CC account.
Important Points:
Purpose of CC Account
A Cash Credit account is meant for working capital requirements — typically day-to-day business expenses or short-term credit needs.
Using CC funds for purchase of fixed assets like land or flat is generally not advisable or allowed as per bank terms, unless specified.
Accounting Treatment in Proprietorship
In a proprietorship, the owner and business are not separate legal entities.
If you withdraw money from business (even CC funds) for personal investments like land/flat, it is treated as withdrawal by proprietor.
This is recorded as ‘Drawings’ (not as loan to proprietor or advance).
Drawings reduce owner’s equity in business.
Alternative Treatment
If you want to show this as loan/advance from business, it should ideally be a formal loan agreement with terms, interest, etc.
But in proprietorship, such formalities are rare and may complicate tax accounting.
Book Entry Suggestions:
When money is withdrawn for land/flat, debit ‘Drawings Account’ and credit ‘Bank/CC Account’.
Land/Flat purchase is a personal asset, so it should not be recorded as business fixed asset unless it is used for business.
If used for business, then record asset purchase in books accordingly.
Summary Table:
Action Accounting Entry (Business Books)
Withdrawal of money for land/flat (personal use) Dr. Drawings A/c / Proprietor’s Capital A/c
Cr. Bank / CC A/c
Purchase of asset for business Dr. Fixed Assets (Land/Building)
Cr. Bank / CC A/c
Important Notes:
Check with your bank if using CC funds for land/flat purchase is permitted. Banks usually restrict CC funds to business working capital only.
For large investments in property, it’s better to use personal funds or term loans specifically for that purpose.
