Journal Entry for Contractor payment

can you advise the journal entries for part payment for the contractor bill? Suppose Bill's net value is Rs. 100, GST is 12% and TDS is 2 %. But right now I am able to pay Rs. 40 (Net value) + Taxes. Can you suggest the journal entry for making this part payment (Rs. 40) to contractor along with taxes. And what will be journal entry for the remaining amount (Net Rs. 60/-)

It covers the initial recording of the expense and payables, and then details the specific entries for making a partial payment, including GST and TDS. The remaining balance is left in the payables ledger. It also touches on initial recognition of payables and how to book subcontractor expenses in Tally.

Initially 

Contractor expenses 100

To Payables 100

Bad connection, and could not input properly. Hope you got the right answer.

Good morning! Initial recognition of payables can include gst amounts as per company policy or else you can directly pay them if your sure if it is paid back before the end of accounting period. I forgot to mention that yesterday. 

Initial entry will be:--
Expense a/c. Dr. 100
GST a/c Dr. 12. (input tax receivable)
To Contractor's a/c. 110 (98 + 12)
To TDS payable. 2. (100 * 2%)


And on payment of ₹40
Contractor's A/c. Dr. 44.8 ( 40+ 12% gst)
To C/B. 44.8
