25 May 2013 In the Case of Library Deposit Refund Amount it is absolutely correct.

but in case of Scholarship Payable Amount i cant answer because the full Details are not known to me

as taking the closing balance is not right it may be such that the difference of received & payment amount (i.e Dr-Cr) is also the same with that of closing balance

Eg Suppose Opening Amount is Rs.10000/-

Dr amount (payment) is Rs.10000/-

Cr Amount (received) is Rs.20000/-

So the Closing Balance here is Rs.10000/-

and the Difference (dr-cr= 20000-10000) is also Rs.10000/-

So it can be that amount taken is Rs.10000/-

Also one thing i would like to tell you is that taking the net amount is not according to Accounting Policy

Better both Receipts & Payments should be taken instead of showing the Net Difference Amount
