The Golden Rules of Accounting

Debit The Receiver, Credit The Giver. This principle is used in the case of personal accounts
in case you received amount in bank by Mr X
so entry is
Bank. A/c. Dr
Mr. X. A/c. cr

in case you paid money to Mr X
so entry is
Mr. X. A/c Dr
To Bank. A/c. Cr

Bank is opposite : you received amount in your bank account ,so your account is credit
you paid amount to anyone from your bank ,so your account is debit

From the customers point of view, bank deposits are their assets but from the banks point of view the deposits they collected are their liability. Hope you understood.
