Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the basic accounting principle that a closing balance becomes the next year's opening balance. It addresses confusion regarding closing stock calculations, particularly when closing stock might appear higher than opening stock. The correct formula for trading businesses is provided, along with a note that manufacturing businesses must also consider consumption. The difference between the 26AS and AIS reports is also briefly touched upon.
The above formula works only in trading business. For manufacturing consumption needs to be considered. Even in trading business depending on the scenario closing stock can be more than opening stock. There is no restriction that in every case it has to be less.
