hope this will clarify your doubt

If the claim has been paid by Insurance Co directly to the Service Centre then no need to account for the claim. Accounted only the extra amount you have paid in Repair & Maintenance account.

Dear Sivakumar

Under what group should I open the a/c insurance claim receivable. Is it a revenue a/c or a capital a/c also if the amount paid to service station is 25000/- by the company and 25000/- by the insurance company directly then what entry should I pass.

hey pavin varghese, JE for Insurance claims ::::: 1. for insurance payment Prepaid insurance a/c Dr To Cash/bank a/c Insurance expense a/c Dr To Prepaid Insurance a/c 2.For Claim Related Step 1. Insurance Receivable a/c Dr To Concerned asset/stock a/c step 2. Cash/Bank a/c Dr To Insurance receivable a/c first of all insurance payment is made prior to the period covered for. so 2 JE are made for payment related as mentioned above. For claim related,first insurance claim receivable is recorded on accrual basis. i.e. Debit insurance receivable a/c and credit concerned asset/stock destroyed. later when actual claim is received,debit Cash/bank a/c and credit insurance receivable a/c which was earlier debited hope it helps

But bill has been received for whole amount. But we have only paid the balance amount.
