Personal Loan Installment Collected
Collecting a monthly installment on a personal (unsecured) loan via direct debit from salary account.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer Salary Account (Debit) | Liability (−) | 350.00 | - |
| Personal Loans Receivable (Principal) | Asset (−) | - | 150.00 |
| Interest Income (Personal Loan) | Revenue (+) | - | 200.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
For salary-deducted loans, the bank debits the customer's salary account on the salary credit date. This provides natural collateral for unsecured personal loans. The installment is split between principal and interest per the amortization schedule.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
In Oracle FLEXCUBE, direct debit mandates are configured so the CL (loan) module triggers an automatic debit on the customer's CASA account on the due date. CBJ regulations require that salary deductions for loan repayments do not exceed 50% of the net salary (debt burden ratio).
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors test the debt burden ratio compliance — if the total monthly loan deductions exceed 50% of net salary, the loan should not have been approved. Rejected salary debits (insufficient funds) automatically move the loan to arrears status and trigger an early warning flag.
📄 Required Documentation
Direct debit mandate, salary certificate, debt burden ratio calculation at origination, monthly debit confirmation, and arrears report for any missed payments.
