Hi All Respected members,

Please educate me if a firm's partners are registered for pension and firm deposit contribution to the respective department, how it will be recorded in accounts ? Please share journal entry of it.

Thanks in advance for your precious time and efforts to reply this query.

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the accounting treatment for pension contributions made by a firm on behalf of its partners. Members are seeking clarification on how to record these contributions, particularly when partners do not wish for the contribution to be treated as salary. The advice suggests that if the contribution is made in the partner's individual name, it should be debited to the partner's current account rather than being treated as a firm expense.

Pension contribution means where...??

Generally :

If firm make any amount based on partner's own name (individually) then it will be account to the partner's Current Account). It's not in the firm's expenditure account.

Dear Raja PM Sir,

as you know that we deduct some amount from an employee salary and include some amount into it and deposit it to pension department but as far as partners of firm are concerned how we record it when we don't pay them salary and full amount of contribution amount deposit to pension department from firm account ?

Raja P M Sir,

Thanks for your kind response.

I would like to ask that if firm's partners don't want to consider this contribution amount as salary and asked Accountant to pay us agreed salary amount and record this amount in any other account, in this case what will be the treatment of this contribution amount ?
