Loss of Assets from Fire at factory

Quick Summary
In case of fire loss of fixed assets, accounting treatment depends on WDV basis. Asset (10L) less accumulated depreciation (3L) gives WDV 7L. Insurance claim (2L) is recorded separately. Net loss (5L or adjusted amount) is transferred to Profit & Loss, usually shown as abnormal loss.

Dear Sir

Rs 2 Lacs received as Insurance Claim , you have shown claim received entry by debiting bank A/c , however We have to consider Claim receivable entry also .

Dear friend,

Receivable comes into picture when we expect fund to receive in near future. In that scenario, instead of debiting bank a/c, we debit Other Receivable GL. Later when received the claim cheque, then Other Receivable a/c will be nullify by crediting this GL and debiting Bank a/c.

Ultimately, the accounting entry will remain same. Please note that insurance claim is not an income.

Thanks.
