Subsidiary Books are the sub divisions of a Journal. These books are meant for recording the transactions of a similar nature in a separate book. When there are many transactions, the Journal is sub-divided into subsidiary books to record such voluminous transactions and events in one single book. These books are also termed as 'Special Purpose Books or Special Journals or Book of Original/Primary/Prime entry'.

A Pass Book is a copy of the ledger account maintained by a bank to record the transactions of its clients. Each customer is issued a separate passbook by the bank. It is the copy of the ledger account provided periodically to a customer in order to inform him/her about the transactions and balances in the account.
