Salary journal entries

My salary statement has the following heads

Gross salary, LOP, PF, ESI, Profession tax, net salary

When I want to book a salary in tally, how should I do it? should I book in gross salary or in net salary? If in gross salary what is the entry to be passed?

Quick Summary
Salary should be recorded at gross amount with deductions like PF, ESI, TDS, and profession tax as liabilities. Entry: debit salary expenses, credit deductions and salary payable. On payment, debit salary payable and credit bank or cash.

Hi John,

 

You have to pass a entry for GROSS SALARY.

All the deductions show as a 'LIABILITIES'. When your company will pay these amounts to respective bodies, then deduct liability created by that payment.

 

But I didn't get the logic why you wanna credit net salary to 'Provision for Salary'. Net salary directly go to Cash / Bank account. If you want to show 'Salary Payable' then simply pass journal entry as -

Salary Account  DR

to Salary Payable A/c.

Entry for Salary Transaction should be done as per following:



At the time of Credit of Salary:


Basic Salary A/c         Dr.

HRA A/c                     Dr.

Trpotation Allowance   Dr.

Spl All                        Dr.

       To  PF A/c

       To ESIC A/c

       To Professional Tax A/c

       To TDS A/c             

       To Salary Payable A/c

_______________________________________


At the time of Payment:


Salary Payable  A/c  Dr

     To Cash/ Bank


At the time of credit of gross salary the entry is

                       salaries and wages a/c Dr

                                   To BAsic pay

                                   To Pf

                                    To ESi

  salaries and wages figure will directly goes to the prifit andv loss account to reduce pofit

                                               And

at the time of payment debit all credit items to cash or bank account

We sdould show the gross salary transations in the tally books
