Quick Summary
This discussion explores the correct accounting treatment for excess interest received on loans. It addresses how to record initial loan disbursements, interest income accruals, and the subsequent receipt of funds. The conversation also delves into potential double-counting of interest income and provides examples for handling annual interest payments and the implications of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS).

Bank A/c Dr
To Interest A/c
To Unearned Interest A/c
Correct me if i am wrong

if you receive 3000₹ interest and if you received excess 3000₹ then,

Bank a/c 3,000₹ Asset

Advance a/c 3,000₹ Asset

To Interest income 6,000₹ Income statement.

however, IndAS recognition of loans given examples are not available. So write off the advance next year and enter it as:

Bank a/c 3,000₹

To Advance a/c 3,000₹

The problem is, one can recognise loan asset and reduce company bank account initially when a loan is given like below:

Loan a/c

To Bank a/c

then, can recognise the whole interest income under accruals

Interest Receivable a/c

To Interest income a/c

the problem again here with this entry is, when you actually receive interest annually, it will be recognised twice. So, the balance sheet treatment for SPPI/amortised cost method is not published in regards to Interest receivables recognition. I’ll check tomorrow. 

On a second thought, this could be done in a different way because the Advance entry is inaccurate to calculate cash flow statement:

loan a/c 3,00,000₹

To bank 3,00,000₹

(Ten year loan given)

Interest receivable a/c 30,000₹

To Interest income a/c 30,000₹

(ten year interest receivable)

Bank a/c 3,000₹

To Interest receivable a/c 3,000₹

(annual interest received)

Bank a/c 30,000₹

To Loan a/c 30,000₹

(Annual principal received)

The arrangement should be like this from the beginning of loan. 

I think I must give an eg. suppose I have given a loan to a co. say 1 lakh on 01-04-2019, now party had returned part of rs. 25k on 25th March 20 and shown the interest payable in their book @ 12% i.e. 12,000/- less Tds 120/- what accounting treatment will given for this, and in the next year the interest paid for April to August is excess paid say rs.5000/- along with Tds what accounting treatment will be given for the above transaction.

TDS is applicable if it is a security deposit like FD or post office deposits, TDS is nil if it is a person or a company. If TDS is applicable, 

Bank 90₹

10% TDS 10₹

To Receivables 100₹

if TDS is not applicable,

Bank 100₹

To Receivables 100₹
