I had purchased a car from the dealer in the name of the firm for9,00,000. But due to some manufacturing defect i had returned the car and replaced another car for8,00,000. In all the dealer has to return1,00,000 in the name of the firm. But the dealer has given a cheque in one of the partners name due to which the capital account of the partner has increased. what should i do now because the car is in the name of the firm. What will be the accounting treatment so that the partner's capital account is not increased and the amount in the car A/c should be decrased by1,00,000.

Thanks

Mukesh

You can pass the following JV to give the effect:-

Parner's Capital A/c Dr. 100000

To Car A/c 100000

(Being value of car adjusted with the Capital of Partner)

The forwarding letter which the partner received from the car dealer must contain on what account this payment is being made. It will become an evidence. If it is not available, get it from the car dealer and pass the entry given above.

I don't think you can claim depreciation, if the car is in the name of partner.

But there may be a way to transfer the car it in the name of the firm.

as per rule, u cant allow the depreciation, if it is taken by partner by his name. depreciation is allowable only if it has taken in firm name.

no legal procedure for taking depreciation when car named wid partner

simply partner will issue a cheque in favor of firm, it will neutralize the partner's bank account, and firm will reduce the value of car with the cheque received, for reference to the value reduction, the firm will have to have 1) xerox copy of cheque received from the dealer in name of partner, 2) letter of refund 3) credit note 4) correspondence in relation to exchange of car.

There is no way you can claim depreciation on the car owned by the partner. If partner sells the car to the firm, then of course the firm can claim depreciation from the date the car is transferred in the name of firm.
