Balance SheetBalance Sheet

OverviewOverview

The Balance Sheet shows what the business owns (assets) against what it owes (liabilities and capital) as on a chosen date.

Balance Sheet dikhati hai ki business kya own karta hai (assets) uske against ki woh kya owe karta hai (liabilities aur capital), ek chuni hui date par.

Why it mattersयह क्यों ज़रूरी है
The overall financial-position snapshot — for the owner, the bank, or the CA.Overall financial-position ka snapshot — owner, bank, ya CA ke liye.
In detail

The Balance Sheet is a snapshot on a chosen date of what the business owns (assets — cash, bank, stock, debtors, fixed assets) against what it owes (liabilities and the owner's capital). The two sides always balance, because Assets = Liabilities + Capital.

It's the report the owner, bank or CA looks at for overall financial position. Like the P&L, it's built entirely from your ledger groups — so accurate grouping is all it needs.

Step by step
  1. Open it — Accounting tab → Financial Accounting → Balance Sheet (a two-sided T-Format Balance Sheet is also available).
  2. Set the as-on date.
  3. Choose Summarized or Detailed (Detailed appears when Control Room ‘Default Nature of Final Accounts’ = Detailed).
  4. Drill from group → ledger → voucher on any figure; export to share.
Example
Where do we stand? As on 31 Mar: assets (bank ₹3.4L + stock ₹6L + debtors ₹1.9L + fixed assets ₹2L) balance against liabilities (creditors ₹4L + loan ₹3L) plus capital ₹6.3L. Double-click ‘Sundry Debtors’ to see who makes up the ₹1.9L.
Tip
If an account shows on the wrong side, its ledger group is wrong — fix the group in the Ledger master.
Tip
Closing stock here comes from Stock Valuation (Basic → Stock).

Detail mein

Balance Sheet ek chuni hui date ka snapshot hai jisme business jo own karta hai (assets — cash, bank, stock, debtors, fixed assets) uske against ki woh kya owe karta hai (liabilities aur owner ki capital). Dono sides hamesha balance hoti hain, kyunki Assets = Liabilities + Capital.

Ye woh report hai jo owner, bank ya CA overall financial position ke liye dekhte hain. P&L ki tarah, ye poori tarah aapke ledger groups se banti hai — to isko sirf accurate grouping chahiye.

Step by step
  1. Isko kholein — Accounting tab → Financial Accounting → Balance Sheet (ek do-taraf wala T-Format Balance Sheet bhi available hai).
  2. As-on date set karein.
  3. Summarized ya Detailed chunein (Detailed tab dikhta hai jab Control Room ‘Default Nature of Final Accounts’ = Detailed).
  4. Kisi bhi figure par group → ledger → voucher tak drill karein; share karne ke liye export karein.
Example
Hum kahan khade hain? 31 Mar ko: assets (bank ₹3.4L + stock ₹6L + debtors ₹1.9L + fixed assets ₹2L) liabilities (creditors ₹4L + loan ₹3L) plus capital ₹6.3L ke against balance hoti hain. ‘Sundry Debtors’ par double-click karke dekhein ki ₹1.9L kin se banta hai.
Tip
Agar koi account galat side par dikhe, to uska ledger group galat hai — Ledger master mein group theek karein.
Tip
Yahan closing stock Stock Valuation (Basic → Stock) se aata hai.
