Quick Summary
When posting entries from 1 July 2020, the opening balance for the current year should be the closing balance from the previous year. Crucially, only balances from the Balance Sheet (Assets & Liabilities) are carried forward. Direct and indirect expenses, which originate from the Trading or Profit & Loss Account, do not form part of the opening balance.

No  , Closing balance of  last year   will be  Oping  balance  current  year  and  will be  Carried  forward   form  1st  April     from  Balance Sheet  only (  Assets & Liabilities)    Not  form  Trading   or  profit  & Loss Account . You can not carried forward  Direct  & Indirect  Expense . 

Thank you for help and quick response.
Closing balance on 31.3.19 will be carried forward to 1.4.20
