Why must a cash book always shows a debit balance ​

Answer: It should be noted that the total of the debit side of the cash book always exceeds the credit side. It is because business cannot pay more cash than what he has got. If the money is paid by borrowing from someone, it will first be recorded on the receipts side and only then it will be shown on the payment side. Hence, the cash book always shows a Debit balance or at the most nil balance but can never show a credit balance.
