Bill ₹20,000 for 2 months, dated 1 Jan 2016. Normal maturity = 1 Mar + 3 days grace = 4 Mar 2016. Muskan retires it one month early on 4 Feb 2016. Rebate = ₹20,000 × 12% × 1/12 = ₹200 (interest for the one unexpired month), so cash paid/received = ₹20,000 − ₹200 = ₹19,800. Neha debits Rebate on Bills (an expense/allowance); Muskan credits Rebate on Bills (a gain).
