Plz tell me somebody, What will be the accounting treatment for following -

1 Some Plant & Machinery destoyed in an Accident, and we have claimed the  value to Insurance of which we have incurred  to repair of  these plant & Machinery.

2. We have incurred expences to repair these plant & machinery, and Debited to insurance claim receivable.

When we will received the claim amount, we will credit the Claim Receivable account,

3. Another treatment is that,

I. We have to Credit Plant & M/c & Debit the Claim Receivable A/c

The amount incurred on Repairs may be debited to Insurance Claim Receivable. On receipt of claim amount the same may be credited to Insurance Claim Receivable. In case the amount of claim received is short of the amount incurred then the balance may be transferred to Machinery Repair account.

 I am agree with Ramesh Ji

 

I am also agree.

I agree with Mr. RAMESH.

The best treatment is;-

1. When you incurred expenses on repair & maintenance You should claim it as an expenditure and when claim is passed then insurance claim should be treated as income.

 

I agree with Mr. RAMESH.
