Dear Narendra Sir,

Thanks for your reply.

unfortunately , I didn't get it can you please elaborate?

Though Employer wants to give benefit to the employee against loan , so one should have to write off all his debit balances , we have only 2 choices either make any journal entries & debit to the any expenses like office expenses,factory exp., salary, bonus, or ex gratia kind of or credited him by showing cash receipts or kind of because all n all this is just a book entries .

Dear Narendra,

Thanks for your elaboration.

Please let me know can we debit it by donation or charity to avoid tax complications because if we debit it by bonus or salary, it Will increase employee salary account which may increase tax liability of employee ?

When company gave loan to employee

Dr. Loan and advances or employee or receivables

Cr. Bank/cash.

When writing off that loan

Dr. Loan write off - income statement

Cr. Loans and advances, employee or receivables

Dear Yasaawi Gomes,
