Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for employee health insurance premiums. The consensus is to debit Insurance Expenses and Prepaid Insurance, crediting the insurer. Prepaid insurance is then expensed monthly. It's also noted that if the employer pays, it represents a liability until paid.

Let me give you the concept
1. insurance account nominal
2. Cash /bank account credit
If you have received an invoice in the month of Feb 22

insurence expenses A/C DR 20000
Prepaid insurance A/C DR 220000
To HDFC Ergo CR 240000

then you monthly prepaid insurance amount transfer to insurance Expenses account
Yes, I agreed with Mr Kiran.

@ Mr Kausik,

pass the entries as per Mr Kiran.

Well the insurance is capitalised and premiums are expensed. I have to update on insurance standard in Indas. 

Mr Kiran kya aap mujhe bata skte hai ki kon kis head mein aayega tally me aur mujhe yeh bhi explain kr dijiye ki agar Feb mein yah entry hogi toh March and April mein kya entries hogi and so on
1 insurence expenses under head indirect expenses 2 Prepaid insurance under Head
current Assets

March 22 To Jan 23 you have to pass under Entry Monthly Basis

insurence expenses A/C DR 20000
To. Prepaid insurance A/C CR 20000
Okay I got it @ Mr Kiran

All okay but it's an insurance premium paid for employees by employer , so employer side it is a liability which have to pay , 

YRL basis.
