413 views 3 replies

Dear Friends

 

Following is the salary structure of X in ABC Limited.

 

Basic Salary                         40000

DA                                          12000

HRA                                       10400

Transport Allowance      4000

Gross Salary                       66400

EPF Deduction                   6240

TDS Deduction                  5000

Net Salary                           55160

 

So Rs. 55160 is what X will get in hand at the end of the month after deductions if he remains present for the whole month.

 

Now, if X request company for 2 months advance salary, then how will ABC Limited calculate this advance salary to be paid to X.

 

ABC Ltd does not for how many days X will be present during next 2 months. So how will ABC calculate next 2 months advance salary?

Will ABC Ltd. pay him 110320 (i.e. 55160 X 2).

Advance salary is given on Net salary basis or Gross Salary basis?

 

If yes, then if in the following 2 months salary of X after considering number of days he is present comes out to be following

Month 1               50000

Month 2               49000

Then what will be the accounting treatment in next 2 months. His salary during next 2 months based on attendance is Rs. 99000 (i.e. 50000 + 49000) but advance salary taken by him is 110320.

it depends on the policy of the company on what gross or basic co pays salary advance

 

and u cant predict future attendance... so if you are not able to deduct the same in two months.. u can deduct the remaining balance in third month ..!!

 

at the time of advance

 

Salary advance Dr

                        To bank

 

at the time of credit

 

Salary dr.

           to salary advance ( for regular three months or so on until whole amount recovered)

Agree with Mr Ankit's reply

That is a good document which you should read,you need to inform employees on taxes of advance salary.If he takes advance salary in March which belongs to his projected earnings for April & May for next year then he will need to pay tax on that in current year.If he takes advance salary in middle or begining of FY then he will not have a tax burden.

As to calculation it is policy of the company to make future earnings based on some haircut or managerial discretion.The disbursal & collections of advance salary will be shown as current assets.In your case if intent is to help employee then 110000 or 130000 as advance salary does not matter.The Journal entry will be

1. Advance salary account

           To Bank

2.Salary Account

           To Advance salary ( after 2 months)
