Receivables

/rɪˈsiːvəbəlz/

प्राप्य रकमें (देयक/बिलों की बकाया राशि); देनदारियाँ (Accounts Receivable)

Origin & History

From English receivable (“capable of being received”), from receive (Middle English, from Old French recevoir, from Latin recipere “to take back, receive”); in accounting, “receivables” developed as a plural noun for amounts to be received.

अंग्रेज़ी receivable (“प्राप्त किए जाने योग्य”) से, जो receive (मिडिल इंग्लिश; ओल्ड फ़्रेंच recevoir; लैटिन recipere “वापस लेना/प्राप्त करना”) से आया; लेखांकन में “receivables” एक बहुवचन संज्ञा के रूप में उन रक़मों के लिए विकसित हुआ जो प्राप्त होनी हैं।

Definition

Receivables are sums of money due to a company, usually from customers for goods or services sold on credit, recorded as current assets until collected.

Receivables वे रकमें हैं जो किसी कंपनी को मिलनी होती हैं, आमतौर पर उधार पर बेचे गए सामान या सेवाओं के बदले ग्राहकों से; इन्हें वसूली होने तक चालू परिसंपत्ति (Current Asset) के रूप में दर्ज किया जाता है।
