Well Mr. Anand, your problem is not unique. If u r able to satisfy ur Auditor, show the negative balance of Bank Account as book overdraft (assuming your bank account is normal current account and overdraft facility is not available). Book Overdraft is the normal term and come mainly because at year end many small firms issue  cheques to its vendors for the amount more than the available bank balance.

I am also eager to listen some more better solutions from other members... 

Bank balance in books and bank statement should always match. You can create a suspense account and rectify the mistakes by debiting/crediting suspense account. Maybe while doing this, you might find the right ledger to debit/credit.

I had similar problem once. Difference of about 3 cr.

Mr Sah,

thaks for your effort,but i thin i have not made my question clear.

actualy my problem is that the balance of bank book as per bank staement & as per my books of a/c is not reconciling after taking into consedaration the bank reconciliation statement.

for example...

bal as per bank statement     100000

less cheque issued but not presented    15000

bal of bank a/c as per cash book           85000

now here istead of 85000 i am getting a bal of say 80000/-

now what about the bal 5000/-

plz help...

 

You Should check op Balance from previous statement

If you have excel file check closing balance at each transactions

Check entry of Rs 5000/- in acconts and bank
