Real account or personal account

Accountancy

In all the journal entry, they have given the nature of bank account as personal account but in the class they have given bank account as real account. So bank account is real or personal?

Yes,It's a personal account as it represents artificial personal (legal entity) in the eye of law. But in some cases they treat bank as asset and classify it as real account.Follow what is given in your book.

You must maintain a clarity in personal accounts classification. Personal accounts are of three categories 1.Natural persons personal account 2.artificial person personal account 3.representative person personal account
