What do you mean by ,"Paid Rs. 5,000 by cheque for bill drawn"​. ​How do post same transactions in cash book?

Dear Student,

Rs 5,000 paid by cheque for a bill drawn refers to a situation wherein the person/ entity has paid the mentioned amount of sum to someone against the bill drawn on him (or he/she has paid him in advance along with drawing a bill of exchange that he/she would be required to pay within a short period of time). Thus, in both the cases, either payment has been made against the bills accepted (B/P) or bills receivable (B/R).

In cash book the transaction would be posted as follows:
Cash book/Bank book would be credited.

*Here we have assumed that payment has been made against some bills that we have drawn and would be received later.

Regards,
