Real account represents asset account which has some value. So it has been realised. But B/P or B/R is yet to be encashed. So we treat b/r - dr [debit what comes in], b/p - cr [ cr what goes out], which says we will have some benefit out of it
Sorry,In the previous conversation you have mentioned them as representative personal account can you please justify it!!!

I think fixed assets are also real accounts out of which benefit is to be realised in future so that we cannot classify them as representative personal account
