As I know, there are three classification of accounts, real accounts, personal accounts and nominal accounts. My question is whether General Reserve, Capital Reserve, Revaluation Reserve etc. are real, personal or nominal.

One cannot blindly classify any Reserve A/c..
Any reserve is either created against any Asset / Personal A/c / Expenses / Incomes.
So nature of any reserve A/c depends primarily against the classification above.
If Plant revaluation reserve is created, it means the same has been created against Asset(Plant). So Plant Revaluation reserve will be also a Real A/c as per valuation principles.
Similarly, DRR created is against a Representative Personal A/c, so DRR will be personal A/c.
Hope you understood.
