In the last lecture, we studied what is Bank Statement and how does it differ from our Bank Book. We told you that money lying in our bank account is our asset. Therefore, it usually has a DEBIT BALANCE. Also, when we deposit cash in our Bank, we DEBIT the Bank Book / Bank Account. Whereas, for Bank, the money lying in our Bank Account is a liability that bank has to return to us. Therefore, in Bank Statement which is a ledger account for bank normally has a CREDIT BALANCE. When we deposit cash in our bank account the liability of the bank to pay us increases. Therefore, our account in the Books of Bank is CREDITED. Bank Statement is, therefore, a MIRROR IMAGE of our bank book.

This happens so many times in business that a person is both your debtor and creditor. This means that you are purchasing one thing from him. So, you have to pay him against that purchase and at the same time you are selling him another thing for which he has to pay you. For example, you purchase item X from Mr. A for Rs. 50,000 and sell him item Y for Rs. 25,000. Now, one way of settling the payable and receivable is that you can pay Mr. X 50,000 and ask him to pay you Rs. 25,000. The other and may be the wiser method is that you pay him Rs. 25,000 and both transactions are settled. This is how such transactions are handled in real life.

capital of that company. This capital can be increased with the prior approval of security and exchange
