It will be credited in P&L :) as indirect income :)

amount recived from insurence company should be charged as capital expenditure and the amount not recived (i.e, repaircost - amount recived from insurece co)should be charged as expenditure to p&L A/c

If the car is fully destroyed - and got some calim from the insurance co...what shoud be the entries?  If car destroyed then waht we do with Car A/c?
