I know this answer but I'll never answer it cause you mispelled my name. 2 minutes job for me and all you to do is apologise for your past unregimented behaviour. 

@ yasaswi Gomes ,hellow who are you firstofall ,what I did ???

The Difference Between Balance Brought Down (Balance b /d) And Balance Carried Down (Balance c /d) Is That Balance Brought Down Shows Beginning Balances / Opening Balances Of Permanent Accounts While Balance Carried Down Shows Ending Balances / Closing Balances Of Permanent Accounts At The End Of The Accounting Period.

@ Honourable  Rama chary sir ,why sometimes this balance b/d in debit side and sometimes it reflects in credit side???

Eg. Payables ledger! It's a real account. Which means Debit what comes in and credit what goes out. The B/D will always be in the credit side.

Eg. Purches ledger! It's a nominal account  Dr. All expenses and losses and credit all incomes and gains. So purchases is an expense and hence B/D will always be on the debit side
