Quick Summary
In non-profit organisations (NPOs), the capital fund is treated as a liability because it represents funds introduced by members or promoters, not generated by the NPO's own operations. Accounting principles define capital as assets minus liabilities, and this introduced capital is owed to the members, hence its classification as a liability, even though it doesn't require repayment in the traditional sense.

Capital is assets minus liabilities. Considering NPO as seperate entity, amount invested by members is liability for NPO towards members

Capiatl is always liability that teh amount have been introduced by the promoters and not generated by the NPO itself.
