Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for an advance payment made for a car purchase. If the car is for personal use, the payment is considered drawings from the business, not a fixed asset. The recommended journal entries involve debiting the Drawings account and crediting the Bank account, followed by transferring drawings to the Capital account. It's advised to consult with a CA for confirmation, especially if previous similar transactions were treated differently.

Is this car for personal purpose or Business purpose ?. please clerify .
It's always advisable to book the bill or request for an estimated invoice.
Personal purposes. but it will be treated fixed asset

As per AS10  Fixed assets is an asset  which held with intention of  being used for the purpose of  producing Goods or providing services  for Business , so if you are using this car for personal  purpose you can not show as Fixed Asset in the Balance sheet of the Business . AS 10 is restricting for that . Therefore if you are withdrawing money from Business for purchase of CAR same will be treated as Drawings of Sole proprietor .
