    1. it is only used when you withdraw cash or deposit cash in bank or make any transfer from one bank to another bank within a firm …the bank should be on the name of same firm from which you are transferring cash

  3. Meaning the ledger you are withdrawing from should be credited whiles the ledger you are depositing into should be debited, right?
