Petty Cash is separate Cash Account, wherein the Cash is transfer from Main Cash , so we have to create Petty Cash ledger under Main Cash account and pay very small Day today expenses through petty Cash A/c , if any balance remain in petty Cash will again transfer to Main Cash or Carried forward to next month , at the end of the year we close petty Cash account and transfer balance to Main Cash account.
