11 September 2015 Dear Friends

I need to know that when we receive cheque on 01-Apr-2015 dated 20-Mar-15 and we deposit it in our bank on 05-Apr-15, then on which date we pass entry in our books?

LIkewise when we issue a cheque dated 10-Apr-15 but it is handed over to the creditor on 15-Apr-15, then on which date we pass entry in our books?

Also please tell the entries in both cases in our books.

16 September 2015 Generally, system of recording cheque date is not prevailing in small organisation. We deposit the cheque as and when received and pass entry for the same.
CA Parul is right. There will be no date variance between slip and entry if you answer given by m'am.
