Plz help me about 1 journal entry

Debit to Bank a/c and credit to capital a/c

(sale proceeds of old car, purchased 10yrs back)

As you do not have any information about the purchase cost of the vehicle, it will be presumed as nil and you will have to credit the entire proceed to income a/c. You will have to pass the following entry in the books.

Bank A/c...........................................Dr.                 5,00,000/-

Profit on Sale of Assets                    Cr.                 5,00,000/-

Agree.

cannot credit assets as not recorded earlier. it will be treated as Capital Introduced....

If this car was your friend's personal property, he need not pass any entry anywhere.  If he is putting in this money in his business, then this will be treated as his capital.  Entry in the books of his business will be:  

Bank A/c           Dr.

  To Capital A/c

As per my understanding, your friend is working for an organisation and the vehicle belongs to the organisation. There are two possibilities. This asset would have been clubbed with some other class of assets. Another chance is that this asset would have been omitted to be recognised as such during purchase and the cash outflow might have been treated as some general expense.

In the first case, efforts may be taken to identify the asset and treatment may be given accordingly. In the second case, entire sale proceeds may be treated as income and the journal entry is:

Bank a/c                   Dr.

    To profit on sale of assets a/c

Solution is little complicated but perfect. You should find out the vehicles Market value 10 years ago and apply the depreciation rate on it for 10 years  to reach at its NBV as of today. Sale price less NBV would be your profit or loss.

If profit:(JE would be)

Bank A/c dr   5,00,000

    To asset (NBV)  cr   

    To profit on sale  (5,00,000-NBV) cr

If loss:

Bank A/c dr   5,00,000

Loss  on sale dr (NBV-5,00,000)

    To Asset cr (NBV)

I agree with Mr. Karan Kumar Talreja.
