If you sold goods to party

Entry is

Party A/c      DR.

   TO sales

 

after that you have recd money from bank against letter of credit

then entry is

bank a/c       dr.

    to party

 

there is no matter co. recd money from party directly/indirectly through letter of credit, Entry will be same

Yes bhuvan, divya is absolutely right. Doesnt matter whether is payment is recd against LC or directly.

Entry will remain same.

@ Numia n krishnamoorthi, LC margin money will cum in the pic only when the company issues an LC for import.
