This discussion clarifies the accounting journal entry for receiving salary, especially for individuals maintaining their own books. It explains that salary is a nominal account (income) and the bank/cash account is a personal account (receiver). The correct entry involves debiting the bank/cash account and crediting the salary income account, following the golden rules of accounting.

Radhey shyam jha sir ji mein ek employee hu mein aapne books of accounts mein entry kaise Karu aise case mein bata dijiye please.

Dear Gagan, ye rule sabhi ke liye application hai, doesn't matter ki aap khud ke books me kar rahe ho company ke books me... If aap salaried person ho or apko khud ke liye account maintained karna hai then you can simply replace the ABC by your employer name

Salaries R nominal accounts and so debit all expenses and credit incomes

Your Bank A/c is personal account - Debit the receiver

Salary received is Nominal account - Credit gains and income.

personal account rule is - Debit the receiver and credit the giver.
Nominal account rule - Debit the expenses and loss and credit gains and income.
