why all losses are not included in accounting like when we keep cash in our hand we are losing an opportunity to invest it somewhere and earn interest from there etc

Yes, loss is loss of capital amount. Secondly, it is termed as operating capital, required in normal terms. Excess amount is deposited in bank and invested.

sir one more doubt when goods are sold on credit say 90 days the seller is only getting money on or after 90 days is it a loss to him. but such types of losses are not covered in accounting. is it actually a loss in normal perspective but its not covered ion accounting

As per accounting terms it is not loss, as said before. But in actual practise, seller adds up interest of these credit days in its rate. You may come to know in practical fields, that the rates of same goods are different if paid by cash and by credit of different days...

is this same concept applied for the cash in hand sir. in normal case if we keep this with our hands we may perceive it as a loss but in accounting perspective it will be a loss only if we actually lose such money
