Introduction to Ledger Grouping in Tally
The video begins by emphasizing the importance of correctly identifying ledger groups in Tally. It promises to explain each group within Tally, starting with the Bank Accounts group, detailing their nature and how to create entries for them.
Types of Bank Accounts: Savings vs. Current
The discussion covers the two primary types of bank accounts: savings and current accounts. While other account types exist (FD, RD, loan, OD, OCC), the focus is on accounts used for depositing and withdrawing funds. Savings accounts are typically in the name of an individual, while current accounts are in the name of a firm or company. Savings accounts have deposit limits and accrue interest, whereas current accounts allow unlimited deposits but do not earn interest. Savings accounts are provided with a passbook, while current accounts receive bank statements.
Creating Ledgers for Bank Accounts in Tally
Any bank account, whether savings or current, is created under the Bank Accounts group in Tally. For example, an HDFC Bank savings account should be named "HDFC Bank Savings Account," and an HDFC Bank current account should be named "HDFC Bank Current Account," both falling under the Bank Accounts group. Additional details such as account number, IFSC code, bank name, and address should also be included when creating the ledger. This also applies to cooperative societies.
Nature of the Bank Accounts Group
The nature of the Bank Accounts group is that of assets. Money deposited in these accounts is considered the company's property and is shown on the asset side of the balance sheet.
