The Accounting Equation (Assets = Liabilities + Capital) always remains equal after each and every business transaction.

The basic accounting equation remains the same.
This is because every transaction affects the accounts in a way that one account is increased while another account is decreased, either with a debit or credit to the accounts.
The basic accounting equation is "Assets = liabilities + owners' equity."
