Dear Neena,

            When capital is introduced in the form of cash, the entry would be,

Cash/Bank A/c     Dr

           To Capital

(being capital introduced in the business)

       When loan is borrowed from an ousider,

Cash/Bank  A/c       Dr

            To Loan

(Being loan accepted from ......)

Hence, loan and capital will be shown in the TB in the credit side. the same will be shown as a liability in the BS

There is no necessity that there must be an opening balance in the cash in the first year of opertaion. So u can start will nil balance in ur cash/bank account

agree with NARAYANAN SIR

BUT CASH BALANCE MUST BE DEBIT BALANCE ON EACH DAY.

Agree with Mugund
