IF DHANRAJ IS DEBTOR
bank a/c ......... dr
to Dhanraj's a/c
bank is debited because money comes to bank
dhanraj is credited to cancel the current debit balance upto received amount

think again bcoz in most of the textbooks its given as cash and not bank i think the reason would be bearer cheque bcoz it can be encashed immediately at the counter what do u think?

If you took the cheque directly to bank and withdrew cash then
Cash Dr
To Dhanraj (if he is a Debtor)
If cheque deposited into bank (with or without crossing) into bank then
Bank A/C Dr
To Dhanraj (if he is a Debtor)
Authors of various books can take either of them. Both are correct. At professonal exam level, you may put a note clarifying above position.

Practically it depends where you have deposited this amount :
For eg : If you got cash from the Cheque issuing bank , & u have not deposited same into the bank then it will be ,
Cash A/c..................Dr
To Debtor A/c
Becuse if you added to your petty cash book i.e. your cash got increased by this much figure.
Now Case 2 :
You got the cheque encashed , & deposited the entire amount to Bank :
Then :
Cash.............Dr
To Debtor
ANS
Bank..........Dr
To Cash
OR
Bank.......Dr
to Debtors

On receipt of cheque , the entry will be
Cash A/c Dr
To Debtors A/c
on deposit of cheque to bank, it will be
Bank A/c Dr
To cash A/c
Coz if we have cheque in hand it is treated as Cash in hand only when we deposit cheque in bank then only amt comes in bank a/c
