Quick Summary
Advance salary paid to a director is recorded as an asset (Salary Advance) against Bank. At month end, it is adjusted against Salary Expense and Salary Payable. Final payment entry clears the payable after adjusting advance already paid. Multiple entries may be used for advance, provision, and settlement.

It will be payment entry and not journal entry.

Salary Advance ( Asset ) A/c
To Bank

Adjust it in Salary payable entry at the end of the month

Advance is a prepaid expense

By the month end

Salary Journal Entries

For Example:

Vineet works is an employee of ABC electronics pvt. ltd. and his monthly salary is Rs 35,000. But he took some advance salary from Rs 10,000.

Now, lets check how to pass the entry.

Advance salary entry

Vineet Salary Advance a/c             Rs 10,000
      To Bank a/c                                                 Rs 10,000

Month end salary entry

Vineet Salary a/c                            Rs 35,000
      To Vineet Salary Advance a/c                     Rs 10,000
      To Vineet Salary Payable a/c                       Rs 25,000

Payment Entry

Vineet Salary Payable a/c               Rs 25,000
      To Bank a/c                                                 Rs 25,000

 

TDS is also applicable under 194J I guess

It is considered at the time of entering journal entries or at the time of making payment, which ever is earlier. 

2% is attracted based on treshold.
