Withdrawl by proprietor

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
When a proprietor withdraws more money than they've invested, it impacts their capital account. The standard accounting entry debits the proprietor's capital account and credits cash or bank. While this might initially show a negative capital balance, it's often recommended to first add profits to the capital account to offset the withdrawal, or alternatively, debit a 'drawings' account.

10 July 2021 Suppose owner invest capital in business Rs 60000 .with this he has made huge profit of Rs 120000. In the same year we withdraw the amount of Rs 70000 which is more than the capital amount .what is accounting entry to be pass .



10 July 2021 Capital account dr 70000
To bank/cash cr 70000

10 July 2021 There is any problem if the negative capital will show in balance sheet .if has withdrawn more than his capital investment

10 July 2021 Add profit to his capital account, it will not be negative.

12 July 2021 Alternatively, withdrawals can be debited to drawings account I think.
