6 – Accounting for Banking Companies
Introduction:
A banking firm is any corporation that does or transacts banking operations in India. The laws of the Companies Act 1956, and more especially the Banking Regulation Act, govern the banking business in general. The Banking Regulation Act of 1949 was enacted on March 16, 1949, in response to a long-felt need to control the banking business in India and protect the interests of many depositors. Economic growth requires the existence of a well-organized, regulated, and efficient financial sector. Banks are the institutions in charge of mobilising and channelling funds in a country. In India, the following institutions conduct business:
(a) Nationalized banks
(b) State Bank of India and Associates banks
(c) Foreign banks with branches in India
(d) Cooperative banks
(e) Rural banks and
(f) Private sector banks.
Section 6 of the Banking Regulation Act permits a bank to participate in certain types of activity incidental to the banking business in addition to banking. Section 8 of the Banking Regulation Act bans a bank from purchasing, selling, or dealing in goods unless it is in connection with the realisation of a security held by it or the activity of collecting or negotiating bills of exchange.
6.1 Banking Accounting
Banking is defined in Section 5(h) of the Banking Companies Act as “the accepting for loan or investment of money deposits from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawable by check, draught, and order or otherwise.” (Until 1949, there was no separate legislation to regulate banking firms; but, since that year, the provisions of the Banking Regulation Act and the Companies Act, 1956 apply to corporations carrying on banking activities, including nationalised banks.) Section 6 of the Act states that, in addition to the usual business, a banking company may engage in the following activities:
(a) acting as agents for any Government or local authority or any other person or persons,
(b) carrying on and transacting any guarantee and indemnity business and
(c) undertaking and executing trusts.
A banking corporation is not permitted to conduct any other form of business. No financial firm may directly or indirectly deal in the purchasing, selling, or bartering of commodities unless in connection with the realisation of security granted to or retained by it or engage in any trade or purchase, sell, or barter goods for others, except in connection with bills of exchange. Immovable property, other than that required for its use, must be disposed of within seven years after purchase.
6.1.1 Non-banking Assets
A bank cannot purchase certain assets but can always lend against them as collateral. This means that, in the event of a loanee’s failure to repay the loan, the bank may be forced to seize such assets. In that situation, the assets will be classified as “non-banking assets” on the balance sheet. These must be discarded within seven years. Income from or profit on the sale of such assets and loss on the sale of such assets must be separately shown in financial statements such as the bank’s Profit and Loss Account.
6.2 Banking Account Fundamentals
Accountants design the accounting systems used by bookkeepers. They build internal controls to safeguard resources, apply standards-setting organisation principles to accounting records, and prepare financial statements, management reports, and tax returns based on that data. Accountants include auditors who verify accounting records and provide an opinion on financial accounts and management, tax, and forensic accounting specialists.
6.2.1 Accounting and Bookkeeping: What’s the Difference?
Bookkeeping is a tedious but necessary element of accounting. It is the recording and summarising of an organization’s economic activities—sales made, bills paid, capital received—as individual transactions (annually, quarterly, even daily). Except in the smallest organisations, these transactions are now recorded electronically; nevertheless, before computers, they were kept in physical books, hence bookkeeping.
6.2.2 Double-entry Bookkeeping
A company’s economic events are documented as transactions and applied to the books (hence accounting).
For instance, the cash account records the cash on hand, but the sales account records transactions. Even tiny businesses have hundreds of accounts on their chart of accounts, while major corporations have thousands.
Transactions are recorded in journals, which were (and still are) physical books for some small businesses; nowadays, however, journals are often included as part of accounting software. Each transaction has a date, an amount, and a description.
Consider the following scenario: you own a stationery store. On April 19, you are visited by a saleswoman from an antique company, and you purchase a lamp for your workplace for $250. A journal entry to record the transaction as a debit to the Office Furniture account and a $250 credit to Accounts Payable may be stated as follows (Dr. is an abbreviation for debit, while Cr. is an abbreviation for credit):
Date | Account | Dr. | Cr. |
April 19 | Office Furniture | 250 | |
Accounts Payable | 250 | ||
(Bought antique lamp; voucher #0016) |
Each accounting transaction must affect at least two accounts, including one debit and one credit.
6.2.3 Maintaining Accurate Accounting Records
Even a seemingly straightforward transaction like this creates many accounting concerns.
Example: Date: Assume you agreed to buy the lamp over the phone on April 15, but the paperwork wasn’t completed until April 19. And the lamp didn’t arrive on the 19th, but on the 23rd. Or perhaps you thought even as you bought it that you didn’t like it all that much and that there’s a good possibility you’ll return it before the 30th when the sale becomes final. On which date – the 15th, 19th, 23rd, or 30th – did an economic event occur that required a transaction to be recorded?
Amount: The sales price is $250, but you can obtain a 10% discount (to $225) if you pay within 30 days; however, if business is slow, you may require the whole 90 days to pay. However, you know that the antique market is also a shambles; even if you agreed to pay $250, you could shave another $50 off the price if you threaten to return it. On the other hand, as a stationery store owner, you know one of your clients has been hunting for a lamp like that for a long time, and he informed you in February that he’d spend $300 for one.
So, what quantities should you record on April 19 (assuming you record a transaction on that date)? $250, $225, $200, or $300?
Accounts: You’ve deducted money from the Office Furniture account. But in reality, you routinely buy and sell antiques to your customers, and you’re always willing to sell the lamp if you get a decent offer. Should the light be documented in the Purchases account, which is used for inventories, rather than the Office Furniture account, which is used for fixed assets? If this were a large corporation, there may be dozens of office furniture sub-accounts to pick from.
Accountants rely on various sites to provide answers to such inquiries. There are basic, time-honoured accounting conventions: norms established by various rule-making agencies, long-standing industry traditions, and, most importantly, their expertise and judgement.
The crucial point is that even the most fundamental accounting questions – when did an economic event occur? What is the transaction’s worth? Which accounts are affected by the transaction? It can become very complicated, and the correct answers can be complex. There is no excuse for outright manipulation of company performance or shoddy audits, which unfortunately occur. However, the seeming precision of financial statements, no matter how meticulously created, is undermined by the uncertainty and ambiguity of the company activities they strive to depict.
6.2.4 Credits and Debits
We’re used to thinking of “credit” as something “positive” — our account is credited when we get a refund, and you get “extra credit” for being courteous. Meanwhile, a “debt” is something bad – a debit diminishes our bank balance; it’s also used to denote a deficiency or disadvantage.
In accounting, debit refers to the left-hand side. The credit relates only to the right side of the coin. When you receive cash — a “positive” thing – you debit and boost the cash account. When you utilise cash, a “bad” thing, you reduce Cash by crediting it. On the other hand, when you make a sale, you credit the Sales account; when someone returns what you sold, you debit the Sales account.
The terms “good” and “bad” have nothing to do with credit and debit.
Debit is on the left, and credit is on the right.
Accounting on an Accrual Basis vs. Accounting on a Cash Basis: As previously demonstrated, determining when an economic event happens and an accounting transaction should be recorded is a question of judgment. Accrual accounting considers the financial reality of the business rather than cash inflows and outflows.
Although cash basis statements are easier to understand and make sense for many individual taxpayers and small enterprises, they produce misleading financial accounts. Consider a Halloween costume company: it designs, manufactures, and sells costumes all year but only gets paid in October. If sales were only recognised when cash was received, October would show a considerable profit while the rest of the months would show losses. Accrual accounting attempts to match revenues produced during a period with expenses incurred to create them, regardless of when cash comes in or out.
‘Debit’ and ‘Credit’ Rules
Personal Account: Charge the recipient (his account would be debited if he sold goods on credit to a person). Credit the giver (on a credit purchase of furniture, the seller’s account is credited).
Authentic Account: Deduct what comes in (when cash is received, the cash account is debited). What comes in must be credited (when furniture is purchased for cash, the cash account is credited).
Nominal Account: Deduct all losses and expenses from this account (when salary is paid to an employee instead of his account, the salary expenses account is debited). All profits and income should be credited (when the commission is received, the commission account is credited rather than the person from whom the commission is received). The following is provided: Tables 7.1 and 7.2 offer a summary of debits and credits to various accounts and journal entries.

6.2.5 Accounting Equations
Capital or owner’s equity = Assets – outside liabilities
Asset = Capital + outside liabilities
Outside liabilities = Assets – Capital
Income i.e., profit = Revenue – Expenses
Revenue = Expenses + profits
6.2.6 Capital Receipt and Revenue Receipt
Capital receipts are sums received in the form of capital introduced by the promoters, term loans received by banks, and sale revenues from fixed assets. Such receipts have no bearing on profit or loss. These either increase or decrease the obligation.
Revenue receipt is money received in the usual and regular course of business, such as the sale of products and services. It impacts the profit and loss statement and is recorded on the profit and loss account’s credit side. Table 7.3 provides instances of several types of faults.
Different Types of Error
Error | Explanation and example |
Error of principle |
When a real or personal account transaction is treated as a nominal account item. Machinery installation charges debited to wages, as installation was done by the factory labourers. |
Error of omission |
When there is complete omission to record a transaction e.g. cash sales of
` 5,000 not recorded. Neither cash account debited nor sales account credited. Or Though cash has been debited, but sales are not posted to the sales book. |
Error of commission |
Where posting has taken place but there is some mistake. The examples for each case above are given as under:
Sales of ` 5,670 recorded as ` 6,570 Sales of ` 5,670 recorded in the purchase book A balance of ` 34,000 in the sales book is taken as ` 43,000 in the trial balance In the debtors’ ledger, debited an amount of ` 5,400 as ` 4,500 to the debit of the buyer of goods on credit The amount of ` 2,000, or the account of goods sold to one Mr. Ramesh credited, was credited to his account instead of debiting his account While balancing the account of Mr. Ramesh, the balancing was done for an amount of ` 8,500 instead of ` 9,500. |
Compensating error | Cash received from Ramesh ` 2,500 debited to cash account for ` 2,000
and cash paid to Mr. Dinesh ` 2,500 recorded in the cash book as ` 3,000. |
6.2.7 Depreciation
Depreciation is the gradual decrease in the value of a fixed item over time. This is a continuous process that reduces the book value of the assets. The rate at which its value falls varies from asset to asset and is determined by various factors such as wear and tear, passage of time, obsolescence, market price decline, and so on. Charging depreciation distributes fixed asset costs over the asset’s useful life.
Straight Line Method vs. Fixed Instalment Method: Which is better? The SLM approach charges depreciation on the asset’s original value, which includes installation and transportation costs but excludes scrap value, if any.
For example, if an asset was purchased for ‘2 lac including tax,’ ‘l0,000 was spent on its installation, and another ‘5000 was spent on its shipment, etc. If its scrap value is also projected to be 35,000, the amount of annual depreciation at the end of four years of commercial usage will be 45,000 [(2,00,000 + 10,000 + 5,000 – 35,000)/4].
Written Down Value Method (WDV) or Diminishing Balance Method (DBM): Depreciation is paid at a fixed rate on the diminishing balance under the WDV method (called written down balance i.e. original cost less depreciation). This also implies that the asset’s cost less the scrap value will be written off throughout its estimated commercial life. In the preceding example, a 25% depreciation rate will be applied to’1,80,000 during the first year, and a 25% depreciation rate will be applied to’1,35,000 (1,80,000 – 45,000) during the second year, with a depreciation amount of’33,750 (25 percent of’1,35,000).
6.2.8 Bank Consolidation
Reconciliation is a declaration that a party uses to reconcile its cashbook with the bank passbook based on specific causes of differences between these two books.
Reconciliation Procedure
When the task of reconciliation is assigned, the following approach might be used:
- Compare two books, namely the cash book and the passbook, to identify transactions that appear in one but not the other.
- Begin with the balance of one book, such as the cash book or the passbook. This sum might be either a credit or a debit balance. This results in four scenarios (debit or credit balance as per cash book or as per passbook).
- Adjust the balance with the starting point by adding or subtracting the amount of the transaction, depending on the nature of the transaction.
- The solution will be the opposite balance at the completion of these modifications (if balance is credit in cash book, it will be debit in pass book and vice versa).
Entry of adjustments: Following the completion of the process of trial balancing or drawing final accounts, management may notice that certain expenses to be incurred have not been paid and that certain expenses have been paid in advance. Similarly, some revenue may have been due but has not yet been received, while some income may have been due but has not yet been received. As a result, unless the final accounts are updated, the true profit or loss situation may not be reported. Tables 7.4 and 7.5 provide a summary of some of the revisions.

6.3 Accounts of Corporations
A joint stock company is founded through formation by the rules of the Companies Act of 1956. These corporations are artificial legal persons with their legal entity apart from their members. It could be a private firm, a public company, or a government agency. While a private corporation must have at least two members and a maximum of fifty, a public or government firm must have at least seven members with no upper limit. In the case of a public firm, the minimum capital should be ‘5 lac with a 25% stake from the general public. A firm must have three crucial documents: a Memorandum of Association, a Certificate of Incorporation, and a Certificate of Commencement of Business.
In terms of share capital, it can be classified as authorised, issued, subscribed, or paid-up capital, as stated in the Table below:
Description of Types of Capital
Nature of Capital | Description |
Authorised Capital | Maximum amount of capital, that a company could raise and is capital clause in MOA of the company. |
Issued capital | The amount offered to the public for subscription can be up to the authorized capital. |
Subscribe capital | The number of shares and the face value of the prospective shareholders want to take up. |
Paid up capital | The amount received from the shareholder against the allotted shares. |
6.4 Significant Facts
When dealing with a company’s accounts connected to the issuance of shares by a company, the following facts must be kept in mind:
- Voting rights are attached to an equity share.
- Preference shareholders have voting rights if the dividend has been outstanding for more than two years in the case of cumulative preference shares and three years in the case of non-cumulative preference shares.
- Reissued forfeited shares may be issued at a discount if the reissue price plus the money previously collected from the defaulting shareholder is greater than the amount recognised as paid up on the reissue of the share.
- It is obligatory to annul the discount on the issue of shares account when shares issued at a discount are forfeited.
- A preference share has a preferential right exclusively to the return of capital upon the company’s liquidation. It has no legal claim to the dividend.
- The entries for surrendering the shares are the same as those for forfeiture of shares.
- There is a capital redemption reserve available for claiming fully paid bonus shares.
- A corporation can buy its stock as well as debentures.
- A convertible preference share can be converted into equity shares.
- The face value of a share is the amount specified on the share certificate. The paid-up value is the amount called by the corporation and paid by the shareholder, which may or may not be the same as the face value.
- Shareholders are not entitled to dividends on calls-in-advance payments.
- A share cannot be issued at a discount greater than 10% of its nominal value unless approved by the Central Government. However, a company that has operated for at least one year can issue shares at a discount.
- It is not possible to redeem a partially paid preference share.
- The balance of the share forfeited account following the reissue of the forfeited shares, i.e. transferred to capital reserve.
- Transfers from the profit and loss account and dividend equalisation account are permitted to the capital redemption reserve account.
