That depends, how much is the bank loan, how long is the loan for. Most times YES it would be a long term liability.
One sure way of knowing whether it is long term or current. Long Term is a loan or payable that will not be paid off in one years time. Current is one that will be paid off in one years time or LESS!
Just remember
Current Liability -
Account Payable (short term) - 12 months or less
Long Term Liability -
Note Payable (long term) - 1 year or more
Note... Liabilities that are short term are listed under current liabilities, Current Liability is the Balance Sheet category for a Short Term Liability.
It is a loan repayable. Hence it is a liability. As the liability is for more than one year, it is non current liability.

Long term
That depends on the term of the loan. Let's define Current Liability and Long-Term LiabilityA current liability is any liability that will be paid off within one year (or less) or one accounting cycle. A bank loan, if is financed for One Year or less, would be classified as a Current Liability.A Long-Term Liability is anything OVER a year. So if the bank loan is financed for more than one year, it will then be classified as a Long-Term Liability.
If loan is payable within twelve month of issuance of loan then it is current liability but if it is payable in more than one fiscal year then it is long term liability but even in long term loan, that portion of loan which is payable in current fiscal year is current liability and remaining portion is long term liability.
a current liability
It is actually both. Cash received from a bank loan is debited to the asset Cash, at the same time repayment of that loan is listed in Liabilities as usually a Note Payable.This means that your Assets increase by the amount of the loan as well as your liabilities, while Owners Equity (stock holder equity) remains unchanged.
Loan repayment will reduce the amount of loan liability from liability side of balance sheet as well as reduce the cash or bank account as the payment is made through bank or cash. General entry is as follows [Debit] Long-term loan xxxx [Credit] cash / bank xxxx
It is a loan repayable. Hence it is a liability. As the liability is for more than one year, it is non current liability.
Yes. An overdraft simply means that the bank has paid an item that was presented against your bank account and represents, essentially, a short term loan from the bank to you. Like any other short term obligation, it is a current liability.
Short term fund: Bank overdraft. Long term fund: Loan from Bank.
Current portion of long term loan is classified as current liability and shown under current liability section of balance sheet.
