Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how a customer's overdraft on their current account is treated in the bank's financial records. While it represents money owed by the customer, in the bank's books, the overdraft is considered an asset. This asset will be reflected on the bank's balance sheet as an amount receivable from the customer.

To be shown under current liabilities as short term loan
How it will be a liability for a bank ? Isn't it an asset bcoz it is receivable from customer
The question which I have understood is a current account having negative balance of 25k. if this understanding is correct then my reply is also correct in customers books. if you are asking what bank will show in their balance sheet then your reply is ok. it will be asset in bank books
Yes I'm asking for entries in bank's books
