In the given case, Bank Overdraft is a liability (ie. Credit balance in the Bank A/c).

Following is the JV to be passed:-

(In the Books of the Firm)

Cash / Bank A/c Dr.

To Bank Overdraft A/c

(Being Overdraft received from Bank)

(In the books of Bank)

Bank Overdraft A/c Dr.

To Cash / Bank A/c

(Being Overdraft given to Customer).

Devendra

In the bank's book it will be shown as receiable from the customer ie. on the Debit side.

Whereas in the firm's book it will be shown as payable to the bank ie. on the Credit side.

In this case, the bank overdraft accounting treatment will be to include it as an Accounts Payable journal entry, with a coinciding increase to the total cash entry to balance. Generally, the bank overdraft in the balance sheet will be reported as a bank overdraft double entry.
