Hello Members,

Please guide.
Thank you
Hi,
Interest is not available as credit. It is a cost to the company.Any interst paid is in the nature of fine or penalty. You should debit the same to P&L under your appropriate head. Some companies have separate GL for Interest whereas some company charge it to rates and taxes. It depends upon your company accounting codes.
