A postdated cheque cannot be immediately deposited or cleared by the bank; therefore, it does not represent current cash or bank balance. Until the date on the cheque arrives, it is treated as a promise to pay, which is recorded as an increase in Accounts Receivable. Once the date is reached, it can be processed as a cash or bank transaction.

In the books of a business, a bank account is an asset account. According to the rules of debit and credit, asset accounts increase with debits and decrease with credits. Therefore, a debit balance in the bank account indicates that the business has a positive amount of money deposited in the bank, representing an asset known as cash at bank.

The bank column in a cash book normally shows a debit balance, indicating money deposited in the bank. However, if the business has an authorized bank overdraft, the bank column will show a credit balance. Thus, it can reflect either a debit or a credit balance depending on the account status.

In accounting, the bank column of a cash book is treated as an asset account. According to the rules of debit and credit, an asset account increases with a debit entry and decreases with a credit entry.

In a bank account, the debit side records deposits (increases in assets), while the credit side records withdrawals (decreases in assets). A higher debit balance indicates that the business has a positive cash balance at the bank, representing an asset.

A bank statement is prepared from the bank's perspective. When the bank owes money to the customer (a deposit), it records it as a liability, which is a credit balance. Therefore, a credit balance on a bank statement indicates that the customer has funds available, representing a favorable balance.
