While you are subcribing a chitty, th entry will be:

Kuri a/c Dr

To CAsh

(For the amount of payment we made)

On pricing/auction you must account in accrue basis:

Cash a/c Dr

Discount a/c Dr.

To Kuri

After that, all the instalment you pay must account in accrue basis:

Kuri A/c Dr.

To Cash

To discount.

The Discount on being prized/auctioned can be written off in the year of being auction/ prized. Or can be treated as a miscellaneous Asset to be w/off and divided by no. of future installments. and w/off on the basis of installments made.

Foreman Commssion is the revenue for the chit company. It will not be related to any particular subscriber. Of course we are deducting it from the amount to be paid to the prized subscriber. Correct me if I am wrong.
