Question:

What is the subhead for the interest accrued in the company's balance sheet whether interest is due or not on borrowings?

Options:

Short term borrowings

Trade payables

Other current liabilities

Short-term provisions

Correct Answer:

Other current liabilities

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- Other current liabilities.

Interest accrued but not due on loan should be included under the head current liabilities as it is an obligation on the part of the company and has to be met within a period of 12 months and hence will be regarded as a current liability under the subhead of other current liabilities.
