gou should create a ledger named " loss due to damage"
debit that ledger and credit party ledger for ra 50000 in your case.
this should be treated as abnormal loss .
You are dealing in perishable goods. Firstly you identify what type amount of loss occur in regular basis and you can avoided or not. If avoided then abnormal loss if no then normal loss. You are right it can not treat as sales return..
