Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the proper accounting entries for recording rental income received at a branch office and then transferring it to the head office. While initial suggestions involved a 'rental received' account, the consensus leans towards booking the income directly in the branch's books and then debiting the Head Office account and crediting the Bank account for the transfer. The impact on the balance sheet is also briefly touched upon, noting that branch profits/losses are transferred to HO, but interim fund transfers are handled differently.

In the books of Branch
when rent received

Bank A/c Dr
To Rental received A/c Cr
( Being rent received )


received rent transfer to Head office

Head office A/c Dr
To Bank A/c Cr
( rent transfer to H.O )


In the books of Head office
Bank A/c Dr
To Branch office A/c Cr
( rental income received from Branch )
Agree with above entries
I do not agree with above entries. There cannot be any entries of nomenclature "rental received"
Other entries check and revert back.
@ Sabyasachi Mukherjee
If you are not agree with above entries please post here correct entries . Any income received at branch can be transferred to H.O . please post here correct entries , what you think .
In Branch books

Bank Account DR

To HO account



In HO Books

Branch Dr

To Rental Income.
Yes it can be transfered to ho but not the way you hv shown.
First book income in the books of the recipient where income arises. Dr. Bank account Dr. to sale on goods cr.
now if you want to transfer the Income to hold
cr. branch office in the books of how
Dr. ho.
My first entry is booking entry in Branch book above and then transfer entry .
Tell me the impact on balance sheet.

See , at the end of the year ,  any profit  or  loss at  branch  will be transfer  to  H.O  , However in between F.Y  any fund (Income )   transfer  to H.O  at  that  time  , H.O  A/c  will be  Debited  and  Bank account  will be credited  , after booking of  any Income entry in the Branch  Book. 

Receivable payable is already being accounted in both books. also rental income booked in HO books.
Here queriest want , entry of Rental Income which is received in branch , transfer to H.O so accordingly H.O account will be Debited and Bank account is Created .

In Branch books:-

Head Office A/c Dr

To Rent Received A/c

 

In H.O. books/-

Bank A/c Dr

To Branch Office A/c

These entries are correct when rent income of branch is received in HO Bank account
