Accounting एक ऐसा Process है जिसके माध्यम से किसी व्यवसाय/कारोबार (Business) का वित्तीय लेन-देन (Financial Transactions) को रिकॉर्ड किया जाता है, उनका वर्गीकरण (classification), सारांश (summarization) और विश्लेषण (analysis) किया जाता है। इसका उद्देश्य व्यवसाय की आर्थिक स्थिति को समझना और रिपोर्ट तैयार करना होता है।
Accounting को तीन मुख्य प्रकारों में बाँटा गया है:
- Personal Accounting (व्यक्ति खाता)
- Real Accounting (वास्तविक खाता)
- Nominal Accounting (नाम मात्र खाता)
Personal Accounting (व्यक्ति खाता)
Personal Account ऐसे account होते हैं जो किसी व्यक्ति (person), कंपनी (company), या संगठन (organization) से जुड़े होते हैं – जिनसे business का direct लेन-देन होता है। जैसे Wasim a/c, Ram a/c, Rahman a/c, WSM Computer Institute, Bank a/c, Shakila & Iqbal Hussain Trust, etc.
Golden Rule : “जिसे पैसा मिलता है, उसे डेबिट करो; जिसे पैसा दिया जाता है, उसे क्रेडिट करो।”
Personal Account को तीन main categories में divide किया गया है:
- Natural Person Account (प्राकृतिक व्यक्ति खाता)
- Artificial Person Account (कृत्रिम व्यक्ति खाता)
- Representative Personal Account (प्रतिनिधि व्यक्तिगत खाता)
Natural Person Account (प्राकृतिक व्यक्ति खाता)
Natural Person Account : इस type का account किसी real human being यानी असली व्यक्ति से related होता है। जब business किसी इंसान से लेन-देन करता है, तो हम उसके नाम पर Natural Person Account बनाते हैं।
Examples: Rahman a/c, Ram’s A/c, Sita’s A/c, Mohan’s A/c, Wasim a/c.
Artificial Person Account (कृत्रिम व्यक्ति खाता)
ये accounts उन entities के लिए बनाए जाते हैं जो इंसान नहीं होतीं, लेकिन law उन्हें व्यक्ति की तरह treat करता है। जैसे – organization, banks, companies, societies, trust आदि।
Business जब इनसे लेन-देन करता है, तो Artificial Person Account create होता है।
Examples: SBI Bank A/c, Reliance Ltd A/c, LIC A/c, WSM Computer Institute a/c, Tata a/c
Representative Personal Account (प्रतिनिधि व्यक्तिगत खाता)
Representative Personal Account : इस तरह का account किसी individual को directly show नहीं करता, लेकिन किसी व्यक्ति से जुड़े हुए income या expense को represent करता है।
जैसे – अगर किसी employee को salary देनी बाकी है, तो वो Outstanding Salary A/c कहलाएगा, और ये Representative Account होगा।
Examples: Outstanding Salary A/c, Outstanding Rent A/c, Prepaid Insurance A/c, Accrued Commission A/c
Real Accounting (वास्तविक खाता)
Real Account ऐसे accounts होते हैं जो किसी संपत्ति (assets) या संसाधन (resources) से जुड़े होते हैं।
इन खातों में हम उन चीजों का record रखते हैं जो business में use की जाती हैं, जैसे – cash, building, machinery, furniture आदि।
Tangible Assets (साक्षात संपत्ति)
ये वो संपत्तियाँ हैं जिन्हें आप छू सकते हैं:
- Cash Account (कैश खाता) – नकद लेन-देन
- Bank Account (बैंक खाता) – बैंक से जुड़ा लेन-देन
- Building Account (बिल्डिंग खाता) – इमारत से जुड़ी खरीद/बिक्री
- Furniture Account (फर्नीचर खाता) – कुर्सी, टेबल आदि
- Machinery Account (मशीनरी खाता) – मशीनें
- Land Account (भूमि खाता) – जमीन
- Vehicle Account (वाहन खाता) – बाइक, कार आदि
- Stock/Inventory Account (भंडार खाता) – माल-सामान
Intangible Assets (अमूर्त संपत्ति)
ये वो संपत्तियाँ हैं जिन्हें आप छू नहीं सकते लेकिन उनके value होती है:
- Goodwill Account (साख खाता)
- Patent Account (पेटेंट खाता)
- Trademark Account (ट्रेडमार्क खाता)
- Copyright Account (कॉपीराइट खाता)
- Software Account (सॉफ्टवेयर खाता)
Nominal Account (नाममात्र खाता)
Nominal Account ऐसे खाते होते हैं जो किसी income (आय), expense (खर्च), loss (हानि) या gain (लाभ) को दिखाते हैं।
ये खाते temporary होते हैं और प्रत्येक accounting year के अंत में इनका balance Profit & Loss Account में transfer कर दिया जाता है।
Example : Salary A/c (वेतन खाता), Rent A/c (किराया खाता), Electricity A/c (बिजली बिल खाता), Wages A/c (मजदूरी खाता), Stationery A/c (कागज़, पेन आदि), Loss by Fire A/c (आग से हानि), Bad Debts A/c (बकाया डूब गई रकम),
Golden Rules of Accounting
