(Being the amount payable towards Electricity Bill)

Electricity Exp. Payable A/c      Dr. Rs.  600

   To Bank/Cash A/c                                      Rs.  600

(Being amount paid for Electricity)

                      To Bank A/C                        600

                      To Electricity bill outstanding 400

1. Elec exp dr. 1000
to elec exp payable 1000
2. elec exp payable dr. 600
