    Receipts and payment account is a summary of cash transactions prepared at the end of the accounting period from the cash book where the transactions are recorded in chronological order. It is an Asset/ Real Account that records both revenue and capital receipts and payments. It is mainly prepared for non-profit organizations and helps in the preparation of final accounts.

    Income and Expenditure Account is an account prepared by not-for-profit organizations to see whether the income of a particular period is sufficient to cover the expenses of that period. If the revenue is more than the expenses, it is known as “Surplus” or “Excess of Income over Expenditure” and if the expenses are more than Income, it is known as “Deficit” or “Excess of Expenditure over Income”. The account is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting i.e. all revenue incomes whether received or not and all revenue expenditures of the period whether paid or not are taken into account. However, in case of surplus, the money is not distributed among the members. Similarly, if there is a deficit it is not borne by the members.

    To proceed with how to make a partnership deed, let me explain to you in short what is partnership deed?

    A partnership deed is the written agreement between the partners who have agreed to share profits of a business carried on by them. This basically contains terms and conditions to be followed between the partners.

    Few contents of the partnership deed are as follows:

    • Name, address, and type of business of the partnership firm.
    • Name & address of all the partners
    • Profit-sharing ratio.
    • Rights, duties, and liabilities of all partners.
    • Date of commencement of the partnership
    • Method of settlement of dispute among the partners.
    • Treatment of loss in case of insolvency of one or more partners.

     

    Generally, a partnership deed contains all those matters which can affect the relationship between the partners. However, if there is no such agreement the partnership should follow the provisions mentioned under The Partnership Act, 1932.

    Now coming to the main question how to make a partnership deed? See the process is not so complicated. The partnership deed may be oral or written, but as the oral agreement has no value for obtaining tax benefits, a partnership firm always prefers a written agreement.

    To prepare the same the partnership deed must be prepared on a stamp paper and signed by all the partners as per Indian Stamp Act and copies of the same should be with all the partners and also must be filed by the registrar of the firm.

    A deed may vary depending on the nature of the partnership they are engaged in. Generally, partnerships are of three types

    • General partnership
    • Limited partnership
    • Limited liability partnership

    the process of making deed is same for all but, the content of deed may vary depending on the liability of partners in the partnership.

    Further to know more about the registration process of partnership firm you can refer the following link https://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/actsbills/pdf/Partnership_Act_1932.pdf

    The correct answer is 2. Credit balance in the bank column of the cash book.

    The credit balance in the bank column of Cash Book represents the overdraft facility utilized by the business. Overdraft is a credit extension facility offered by banks to both savings and current account holders. It allows the account holder to borrow a specified sum of money over and above the balance in their accounts.

    It is a form of short-term borrowing offered by banks and is extremely useful for businesses to resolve short-term cash flow issues.

    The account holder can withdraw money even when his/her account does not have enough balance to cover the withdrawal. Since the business is withdrawing money that is not in its account, an overdraft is represented by a negative bank balance. That is why they are shown as a credit balance in the bank column of the Cash Book.

    Overdraft is a liability for the business. Hence, it is shown on the Equity and Liability part of the Balance Sheet under the head Current Liabilities and sub-head Short Term Borrowings.

    Banks do not offer this facility to all customers. Only those who have a good reputation and credit score are eligible for this facility. Like any other borrowing, interest is charged on the amount utilized by the account holder as an overdraft.

    The “Income and Expenditure” account lists all the income and expenses incurred by the entity throughout the year. This account is very identical to the profit and loss account and is generally prepared on an accrual basis irrespective of whether the amount is received or paid. Non-profit organizations (NPO) prepare this type of account to ascertain surplus earned or deficit incurred by them during the period.

    Talking about the format of income and expenditure accounts we generally see that all the expenses are recorded on the debit side while all incomes are recorded on the credit side. One important thing to note is that items so recorded are revenue items while capital nature items are generally ignored because only current period items are recorded in this statement.

    Since it is a Nominal account, we follow the golden rules to prepare this, stating “debit all expenses and losses and credit all incomes and gains”. The closing balance at the end shows the surplus or deficit for the year. If the balancing figure appears on the debit side it is surplus and if the balancing figure appears on the credit side it is a deficit for the entity.

    Following is the format of income and expenditure account

    To start with let me first explain the difference between receipts and income & payment and expenditure.

    Although Receipts and Income may look similar terms, there are some differences.

    Receipts have their relation with both cash and cheques received on account of various items of the organization. Whereas, income is considered as a revenue item for finding surplus or deficit of the organization. All the receipts collected during the year may not be considered as income.

    For Example, if an organization sale of its assets that is of a capital nature, it would not be considered as an item of income and hence would be treated in the balance sheet.

    Similarly, Payment and Expenditure are two different terms. Payments are those that have their relation with cash and cheques given for various activities of the organization. Whereas, Expenditure is considered as revenue expenditure for ascertainment of surplus or deficit in the case of a not-for-profit organization. All payments made during the year may not be considered as expenditures.
