Quick Summary
This discussion explores the correct accounting treatment for employee lunch schemes where the company provides meals to staff on a cost-recovery basis. The main question is how to book the initial purchase of supplies and the subsequent collection of funds from employees. Suggestions include booking purchases as staff welfare expenditure and then reversing this against the same head upon collection, or booking the collection as other income.

Purchases while booking grocery supplies and other income 

Thanks for ur suggestion. Purchase is book as expenditure and collection as shows in other income. P&l account expenses and income bothe reflect. Am I right sir.
