Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle deposits in transit and outstanding checks during the bank reconciliation process. Deposits in transit represent cheques you've deposited but haven't cleared yet, and outstanding checks are those you've issued but haven't been presented for payment. To reconcile, you subtract the total of deposits in transit and add the total of outstanding checks to your book balance, ultimately aligning it with the bank statement balance.

Can't understand Your query...!

You only calculate inward and outward cheques and it's value with Your books and Bank Account...
You are talking about following ..Right

You mean Deposits in transit mean Cheques deposited but not cleared. (1)

And You mean Cheques outstanding mean Cheques issued by you but not yet presented for clearing. (2)

Both are items falling under BRS and while preparing BRS you have to subtract total amount of ( 1 ). and you have to add total amount of (2) from / to the book balance.

The process will take you to balance as per bank statement.
