<p>why a bank , cash deposit say Credit, Withdraw say Debit why?</p>
Banks consider their clients as creditor's when they deposit cash to their bank accounts while the clients consider the bank as debtor's henceforth banks treat cash deposit as a liability in the books of account and clients treat cash deposits to the bank as asset in their books of account. The nature of engagement and transaction between a bank and client's is that of receivable and payable relationship.
Customer deposit is Payable liability for bank. When customer deposit it shows the bank liability increase.
So according to the basic rules of accounting....
Liability increase = Credit
Customer withdraw decrease the bank liability....
So Liability decrease = Debit
It's simple !!!
Entries reflecting in their Books of Accounts
When you deposit Cash at Bank Accounting entry is Dr. Bank To Cash/ Customer whatever applicable
Same When you withdraw Credit BANK & Dr. to CASH A/c (or) Vendor A/c, if it's payment to vendor
For the Bank. You are a customer. the amount deposited by customer is payable by bank hence it is a credit balance for bank.
Cash deposit is credit because , your balance increase because the roles when asset increas it will be credit, and for cash withdraw it means your balanc is decrease , the roles when asset decrease it will be debit
Cash deposit is credit because , from the bank's point of view, cash deposit is a liability to them since it is a deposit liability and withdraw as debit because its as if they have paid their debt.
Because when customer deposit cash to bank, it will be the liability to the bank to Return the money.
increase in liability will be credit
and decrease in liability will be debit
