ya i agree with Pranshu

I agree with Pranshu answer

Since the 'to be director' bears the expenses on behalf of the company (which hasn't been incor yet and so doesn't have its own Cash A/c) , should it not be correct to credit the Director's or Promoter's A/c Instead of Cash A/c, as in - Prelim. Exp Dr. 3000 To Promoter's A/c 3000

Could you please let me know what all expenses comes under preliminary expenses because everywhere its showing something different only

compony is not formed yet how a compony can pay in cash or bank , preliminary expenses incurred before incorporation of a companay , it has no bank account , how expesnes is paid
