What do you mean by ,"A bill for Rs.700 retired by bank under a rebate of Rs.20, the full amount of the bill was credited in Cash Book." And what will be the effect of the same transaction in BRS when given Dr. cash balance?

Dear Student,

Bill retired under Rebate refers to the situation wherein the bill is paid off before the maturity date and due to which a sort of discount called rebate is allowed. So, when it is said that 
,"A bill for Rs.700 retired by bank under a rebate of Rs.20, the full amount of the bill was credited in Cash Book" , it means that actual bill amounting to Rs. 700 was paid off through Bank A/c at Rs 680 getting rebate of Rs 20 but the amount credited in cash book was Rs 700.

It implies that cash book has been deducted by Rs 20 more as compared to pass book and so when BRS as per cash book would be prepared, Rs 20 would be added or shown under plus column of BRS, so as to match up with the balance of Pass Book.

It means that a bill of rs 700 was paid by bank at a discount of rs 20 but we have credited the full amount in the cashbook means we have lessed the full amt that is 700 from the cashbook.
Now as we have taken cashbook as base and we have to think about the paasbook.
Bank has paid rs 680 means in our bank ac 680 rs decreases and in cashbook 700 decreases.now after this the balance in passbook is more than cashbook so this implies that we will write rs 20 in plus item as the bal in passbook is more and in cashbook it is less and we have to think about passbook in which balance is more so to tally we will plus 20rs.
