18 June 2016 yes I agree with Amol Sir. here bank account is asset, loan account is current liability or term loan as case may be, and interest on loan is expense.

20 July 2025 Great question! Here's how to pass journal entries for a bank loan taken and its repayment in the books of a proprietorship firm:

✅ 1. At the time of receiving the loan:
The bank credits the loan amount to a loan account they create for you. You (the firm) receive the amount in your bank account.

🔹 Journal Entry:

Bank A/c Dr.
To Bank Loan A/c
(Being loan amount received from bank)
Bank A/c: Asset increases (Debit).
Bank Loan A/c: Liability increases (Credit).
✅ 2. At the time of loan repayment (Principal only):
🔹 Journal Entry:

Bank Loan A/c Dr.
To Bank A/c
(Being repayment of loan principal)
Loan A/c: Liability decreases (Debit).
Bank A/c: Asset (cash) decreases (Credit).
✅ 3. If interest is also paid:
Assume you're paying ₹10,000 as principal and ₹1,000 as interest.

🔹 Journal Entry:

Bank Loan A/c Dr. ....................10,000
Interest on Loan A/c Dr. ...........1,000
To Bank A/c ..................................11,000
(Being repayment of loan and interest)
Loan A/c: Liability reduced.
Interest A/c: Expense booked.
Bank A/c: Cash outflow.
