Quick Summary
This discussion explains how to record a cash gift of ₹100,000 from a husband to his wife in Tally accounting software. It provides detailed steps for creating ledger entries in both the recipient's and the giver's accounts using contra vouchers. The advice also touches upon the appropriate ledger grouping, suggesting 'Current Liabilities' for the recipient and 'Current Assets' for the giver, while also considering alternatives like 'Capital' and 'Drawings' and recommending professional advice if needed.

In Tally, you can record the gift receipt and show the entry in both your and your spouse's accounts as follows: *Your Tally Account:* 1. Go to "Accounts" > "Voucher Entry" 2. Select "Contra" as the voucher type 3. Enter the date of the transaction 4. In the "Particulars" field, select "Cash" (or "Bank" if you want to show the transfer) 5. Debit "Cash" (or "Bank") with ₹100000 6. Credit "Gift from Spouse" (create a new ledger account under "Current Liabilities" or "Other Liabilities") 7. Save the voucher *Your Spouse's Tally Account:* 1. Go to "Accounts" > "Voucher Entry" 2. Select "Contra" as the voucher type 3. Enter the date of the transaction 4. In the "Particulars" field, select "Cash" (or "Bank") 5. Debit "Gift to Spouse" (create a new ledger account under "Current Assets" or "Other Assets") 6. Credit "Cash" (or "Bank") with ₹100000 7. Save the voucher By recording these entries, you'll have accounted for the gift receipt in both your and your spouse's Tally accounts. Remember to adjust the ledger accounts according to your specific chart of accounts and accounting requirements. If you're unsure, consult a chartered accountant or a Tally expert for personalized guidance.

Thank you sir for such a detailed answer. Appreciate that. I have one small doubt, for group creation under current liability, is it not that all personal gifts received go under capital group?so is it possible to make "gift from spouse" ledger under capital account group??

looking forward to your valued insight on this
