Ppf interest & balance sheet

Dear Experts,

Since the PPF interest is exempt, I'm wondering if I need to record the PPF interest component accrued for the year (as per the passbook) or not.

I invested Rs 70,000 in Dec 7, 2017, and the March 31, 2018 PPF statement showed interest Rs. 1,330.00

Have 2 questions:

1. Do I need to add the total (PPF principal + interest) and add it in the Current Assets? If so what are the journal entries to be posted.

(or)

2. Can I skip reporting the interest part and show only the PPF Principal sum (added every year) in the B/Sheet. And when filing the ITR, can input the PPF interest under Exempted Income.

 

Thanks in advance for your insights.

1st option is correct...

You ll add the interest amount to the principal amount...

Journal :
1st
Dr. PPF A/c - Rs 1330
Cr. Interest on PPF A/c - Rs. 1330

2nd
Dr. Interest on PPF A/c - Rs. 1330
Cr. Capital A/c - Rs. 1330...

Thanks for the response.

How do I categorize "Interest on PPF" in Tally. Does it fall under Current Assets or Indirect Incomes?



 

 

Simply said;

No more effects if we book it under indirect income or (Current Asset). Bcoz, Already PPF deposit booked under Current Asset...

You can book the Interest under Income head*. But, After its transferred to Capital Account. So, No more effects in Income Value...


After You can deduct it under IT act.

Got it! Thanks again sir.

 

It is very important to know your Interest on PPF.  You will find several calculator that will help you know the actual amount of PPF deposit maturity value & interest rate value.

Current asset amount will be the total (PPF principal + interest). Interest will be added in the Current Assets
