Hey Aahana
BRS is prepared on 31.12.2013.
Cheques deposited = Rs 5,500
Therefore, Cash Book balance will increase by Rs 5,500
Cheques actually credited by bank = Rs 5,000 till the date of preparation of BRS
Therefore, Pass Book balance will increase only by Rs 5,000
That means, Cash Book balance > Pass Book balance. Right?
In order to reconcile both the books,
Rs 500 (the difference amount) will be subtracted - When Cash Book balance is the starting balance
Rs 500 (the difference amount) will be added - When Pass Book balance is the starting balance
Hope this clarifies your doubt!!
