Quick Summary
A debit balance in Profit and Loss (P&L) indicates a loss, meaning expenses exceed revenue for a given period. This deficit is typically shown on the asset side of the balance sheet. It can be treated as a fictitious asset or presented as a negative balance on the liability side.
Loss is always a debit balance because you have more expenses than revenue. It is a deficit for that period, so we show as fictitious asset or we can show it as a negative balance in liability side
