Generally Bank Reconciliation Statement is relevant if there are cheque payments and receipts are involved.

If all transactions are by online modes then BRS may not be required if balance as per cash book and passbook are same

No , Difference is not possible, due Interest received from Bank , Bank Charges, Commission charged by the Bank , error by the Accountant, standing instructions by the Account holder, Dishonour of cheque, cheque payment,for those reasons, we have to refer Bank Statement for reconciliation , so no difference is not possible.
Bank reconciliation has a relevance and should be done regularly at the end of month.

In Online Transactions also sometimes entry clears next day . Therefore if its 31st March and the entry clears on 1st April then even in case of online transaction BRS is required

One has to pass entries from Bank statement after downloading from Bank site , in our bank ledger for Bank Charges, Commission charged, Interest received is reconciliation only , bank also do error some time , accountant made mistakes in amounts. so reconciliation is necessary.

There is no relevance in brs. With sophisticated erps now a days, if somethig doesnt mathc, you have to put it into a suspence. Then, b.com or mba or a ca manager will sort it out. You dont even have to calculate and you get paid at the top level.

As per the cash book or bank book it says and who the frig cares. There no perfect principle behind brs. So vagabonds in accounting need not come back asking silly questions. When an accounts curriculum doesnt have it neither does a standard, its a cheap transaction and cost constraint.
