Note- In the solution, for the transaction dated April 22, 2011, the cheque so received from Vinod worth Rs 2,230 is being deposited on April 24, 2011. Hence, in this case, as the cheque received is not deposited on the same date, so we have followed the modern practice. As per which, such cheques (not deposited on the same date of receiving) are regarded as Cheques-in-Hand. In this Journal Entry is:

Cheques-in-Hand A/c Dr.
To Vinod A/c

This Journal entry is not recorded in the Cash Book, in fact is recorded in the Journal proper. Therefore, due to this cause the answer as per our solution differs from that of given in the book.
