जमा (क्रेडिट)
Credit
परिभाषा: Credit (Cr) is the right side of an account entry. In broad terms, a credit records an increase in liabilities, capital, or income, or a decrease in assets or expenses.
आसान शब्दों में
"Credit" is the right-hand side of an entry. What you credit depends on the account type — for example, income earned, or money going out of cash.
हिन्दी में
"जमा" (Credit/Cr) किसी खाते की एंट्री का दायाँ पक्ष है। मोटे तौर पर — लायबिलिटी/कैपिटल/आय बढ़े तो "जमा" किया जाता है, और एसेट/खर्च घटे तो भी "जमा"। किसे जमा करना है, यह खाते के प्रकार पर निर्भर करता है। हर एंट्री में नाम के बराबर जमा होना चाहिए।
In English
The right-hand entry in double-entry bookkeeping; its effect depends on the account type, and it always equals the matching debit.
