Note- In the absence of any information about realisation of Joint Life Policy, it has been assume that JLP have not realized any amount.

Accounting Treatment of:

 Employees Provident Fund: As it is a liability that relates to third party therefore it is first transferred to credit side of realisation account and subsequently paid-off .

Depreciation Reserve:  As it is not an actual liability therefore it is only transferred to realisation account and not paid-off .
