Salary to the employee comes under expense or liabilty to the
co? how?

Answer Posted / bharathi

When company paid salary to the employees it should be
treated as indirect expenses it will reflect in profit and
loss account.

The following entries to be passed in the books

Salary A/c
To Cash A/c

When Company not paid (to be paid) to the employees then it
should be treated as liability (because company has to pay
the salary to the employees - so it should be treated as
liability) it will reflect in Balance Sheet under the
coloumn Current Liabilities.

The Following entries to be passed in the books

Salary A/C dr (P&l a/c)
To Salary Payable A/c ( liability a/c)
(provision made for salary)

Once salary paid to the employees then the following entry
to be passed

Salary Payable A/c Dr.
To Cash/ Bank A/c

(Now the liability is nil) (provision which we have made is
cleared now)

(iv) The company maintains a minimum cash balance of Rs. 5,000. The cash balance in excess of Rs. 7,000 is invested in government securities in multiples of Rs. 1,000. Short falls in cash balance are made good by borrowing from banks. The interest received as well as paid is to be ignored.
