Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the use of 'To' and 'By' in a Trading Account according to accounting rules. It explains that a Trading Account is a nominal account, where debits represent expenses and credits represent income. The confusion arises from the general rule where 'To' signifies credit and 'By' signifies debit, but in the context of account entries, 'To' is used on the debit side for expenses (like opening stock, purchases, wages) and 'By' is used on the credit side for income (like sales and closing stock).

Trading A/c is a nominal account. rules are Dr all expenses and credit all income. so on the debit side we write To and on the credit side we write By.

But sir,To is credit and by is debit generally

 

So on Debt side why to they mentioned ??

 

To means credit know?? So why it is not in credit side??

Golden rule of accountancy.

credit means ( Liability,capital ) that's why " TO".....
