I am preparing a balance sheet for the first time for my client.

We have been filing ITR since 2013-14, but have never prepared a Balance Sheet, since there were only Rent receipts and miscellaneous expenses.

Now I am having opening balances from Bank account, but I am not sure of where to post other effect of the Opening balance from Banks.

Shall it be adjusted against Capital account. Like I am having opening dr balance of Rs.10000 from Axis bank, so shall I post this balance to Capital Account as a credit balance as other effect.

How to adjust opening balance from Banks, kindly advise.

Your axis bank is a savings account
a current account or a cash credit account

The opening entry can now be recorded in the ledger using the general ledger journal. The opening balance entry is as follows. The journal records the assets, liabilities and equity of the business in the general ledger as opening balances.

A journal entry by means of which the balances of various assets, liabilities, and capital appearing in the balance sheet of the previous accounting period are brought forward in the books of a current accounting period is known as an opening entry.
