Quick Summary
Bank overdraft is a liability. In firm books, debit cash or bank and credit overdraft. In bank books, reverse entry. Cheque dishonour reverses earlier entry, debiting bank and crediting party account.

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).

Thanks Devendra,

So where does it appear in bank statement on debit side or credit side?

 

Plz answer for entries for dishonour of cheque?

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.

Devendra

Following are the entries :-

(In the Firm's Books)

When payment is made to a Creditor trough Cheque.

Creditor A/c        Dr. 

      To Bank A/c

(Being payment made.)


When the cheque is dishonoured.

Bank A/c             Dr.

       To Creditor A/c

(Being cheque received back due to dishonour)

Its not the cash deposit entry. This is the entry for cash received from bank.(i.e overdraft)

Cash / Bank A/c         Dr.      

 To Bank Overdraft A/c (Being Overdraft received from Bank)

Dishonoured entry

Debtor a/c Dr

To bank a/c.....

Bank overdraft $500. Sir how to pass double entry

Bank overdraft $500. Sir how to pass double entry
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.
