Interest on customer's overdue account

For the interest on overdue

my book entry is

Individual customer A/c Dr.

To Interest / charges A/c


My doubt regarding this entry is

why don't we pass this entry as:

Interest receivable A/c Dr.

To Interest A/c
(Latter entry is my view)


Help me kindly

Both the entries stand correct. the first type of entry is helpful to track as to how much amount is receivable and from which customer. For the later entry it is difficult to track as to how much interest to recover and from which costomer.
