Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the correct accounting treatment for an insurance claim scenario. It covers journal entries for goods sold, subsequent rejection by government officials, insurance compensation received by the seller, and the sale of rejected goods on behalf of the insurer. The aim is to provide clear guidance on how to accurately reflect these transactions in the company's books.

Debtors a/c

To Sales a/c

then when goods are rejected

Loss on sold goods 10,000

Bank a/c 1000

To returned goods sales 1000

To Debtors a/c 10000

 

when goods are sold and you have insurance policy purchased for 100₹

Prepaid insurance a/c

To Bank a/c

when you claimed for whole goods,

Debtors/Receivables a/c 10000

To Insurance claim a/c 10000

next, after you received the claim 

Bank a/c 10000

To Debtors/receivables a/c 10000

im not sure if how to compensate insurance company in return, but probably it’s like

Bank a/c 1000

To Returned goods sale 1000

(this is included above)
