• Personal Account
• Real Account
o Tangible Real Account
o Intangible Real Account
• Nominal Account
A) Personal Account
These accounts types are related to persons. These persons may be natural persons like
Raj’s account, Rajesh’s account, Ramesh’s account, Suresh’s account, etc. These
persons can also be artificial persons like partnership firms, companies, bodies
corporate, an association of persons, etc.
For example – Rajesh and Suresh trading Co., Charitable trusts, XYZ Bank Ltd, C
company Ltd, etc.
For example – In the case of Salary, when it is payable to employees, it is known how
much amount is payable to each of the employee. But collectively it is called as ‘Salary
payable A/c’.
Golden Rule for this Account
Debit the receiver & Credit the Giver.
For Example – Goods sold to Suresh. In this transaction, Suresh is a personal account as
being a natural person. His account will be debited in the entry as the receiver.
B) Real Accounts
These account types are related to assets or properties. They are further classified as
Tangible real account and Intangible real accounts.
Tangible Real Accounts
These include assets that have a physical existence and can be touched. For example –
Building A/c, cash A/c, stationery A/c, inventory A/c, etc.
Intangible Real Accounts
These assets do not have any physical existence and cannot be touched. However, these
can be measured in terms of money and have value. For Example – Goodwill, Patent,
Copyright, Trademark, etc.
Golden Real Account Rules
Debit what comes into the business, Credit what goes out of business.
For Example – Furniture purchased by an entity in cash. Debit furniture A/c and credit
cash A/c.
C) Nominal Account
These accounts types are related to income or gains and expenses or losses. For
example: – Rent A/c, commission received A/c, salary A/c, wages A/c, conveyance A/c,
etc.
Golden Rules for Nominal Accounts
Debit all the expenses and losses of the business, Credit the incomes and gains of
business.
For Example – Salary paid to employees of the entity. Salary A/c will be debited when
the expenses are incurred. Whereas, when an entity receives any interest, discount, etc
these are credited whenever these are received by the entity.
•Cash Account – This account is used for keeping the records of payments done
by cash, withdrawals, and deposits.
• Income Account – Purpose of this account is to keep the record of the income
sources of business.
• Expense Account – This account tracks the expenditure of the business.
• Liabilities – If there is any debt or loan then that amount comes under liabilities.
• Equities – If there is an investment of the account owner or common stocks,
retained earnings then these will fall under equities.
Q3. Explain the function of accounting?
The functions of accounting include the systemic tracking, storing, recording,
analysing, summarising and reporting of a company's financial transactions. Through
the functions of the accounting department, the company can maintain a fiscal history
that they can make accessible for audits. They can also use it to prepare reports, create
budgets, reduce costs, increase profits, avail growth opportunities, assess future
expenditure requirements and make financial predictions.
The basic functions of accounting in a company may include the following:
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
• Monitoring financial transactions: Accountants may track multiple financial
transactions related to payments due to the company to ensure it receives the
revenue and remains profitable.
• Making bill payments: Accounting involves checking invoices to ensure the
legitimacy of the charges, setting payment dates and paying the bills that the
company owes to various vendors and suppliers.
• Paying employee salaries: Companies can use accounting to make payroll payments
from company funds, manage employee benefits and issue employee work-
related bonuses.
• Keeping digital records: Accounting may involve creating, maintaining and
updating digital accounting systems to store and calculate the company's financial
data.
• Writing financial reports: Accounting involves repairing detailed quarterly and
annual financial reports about the company's assets, profits and losses for internal
and external stakeholders.
• Maintaining fiscal history: Accountants assist with creating, documenting and
storing the fiscal history of the company's transactions and making it available for
audits and assessments.
• Achieving business goals: An accountant can analyse financial data to formulate and
implement comprehensive financial policies and strategies to advance the
company's business goals.
• Preparing budgets: The accounts department may reference the company's
financial data to prepare the overall company budget, the department budgets and
the project budgets.
• Making financial projections: Accounting involves analysing the company's
available financial resources, expected revenues and business goals and using this
information to predict future business expansion and growth.
Objectives of Accounting
Recording business transactions systematically− It is necessary to maintain
systematic records of every business transaction, as it is beyond human capacities to
remember such large number of transactions. Skipping the record of any one of the
transactions may lead to erroneous and faulty results.
Determining profit earned or loss incurred− In order to determine the net result at the
end of an accounting period, we need to calculate profit or loss. For this purpose trading
and profit and loss account are prepared. It gives information regarding how much of
goods have been purchased and sold, expenses incurred and amount earned during a
year.
Ascertaining financial position of the firm− Ascertaining profit earned or loss
incurred is not enough; proprietor also interested in knowing the financial position of
his/her firm, i.e. the value of the assets, amount of liabilities owed, net increase or
decrease in his/her capital. This purpose is served by preparing the balance sheet that
facilitates in ascertaining the true financial position of the business.
Assisting management− Systematic accounting helps the management in effective
decision making, efficient control on cash management policies, preparing budget and
forecasting, etc.
Assessing the progress of the business− Accounting helps in assessing the progress of
business from year to year, as accounting facilitates the comparison both inter-firm as
well as intra-firm.
Detecting and preventing frauds and errors− It is necessary to detect and prevent
fraud and errors, mismanagement and wastage of the finance. Systematic recording
helps in the easy detection and rectification of frauds, errors and inefficiencies, if any.
Communicating accounting information to various users− The important step in the
accounting process is to communicate financial and accounting information to various
users including both internal and external users like owners, management, government,
labour, tax authorities, etc. This assists the users to understand and interpret the
accounting data in a meaningful and appropriate manner without any ambiguity.

Assessing how management has discharged its responsibility for protecting and
managing the company’s resources Shaping decisions about when to borrow or invest
company resources Shaping decisions about expansion or downsizing
External Users
Typically called financial accounting, the record of a business’ financial history for use
by external entities is used for many purposes. The external users of accounting
information fall into six groups; each has different interests in the company and wants
answers to unique questions. The groups and some of their possible questions are:
• Owners and prospective owners. Has the company earned satisfactory income on its
total investment? Should an investment be made in this company? Should the
present investment be increased, decreased, or retained at the same level? Can the
company install costly pollution control equipment and still be profitable?
• Creditors and lenders. Should a loan be granted to the company? Will the company
be able to pay its debts as they become due?
• Employees and their unions. Does the company have the ability to pay increased
wages? Is the company financially able to provide long-term employment for its
workforce?
• Customers. Does the company offer useful products at fair prices? Will the
company survive long enough to honor its product warranties?
• Governmental units. Is the company, such as a local public utility, charging a fair
rate for its services?
• General public. Is the company providing useful products and gainful employment
for citizens without causing serious environmental problems?

Credits--A credit is an accounting entry that either increases a liability or equity account,
or decreases an asset or expense account. It is positioned to the right in an accounting
entry.
Whenever an accounting transaction is created, at least two accounts are always impacted,
with a debit entry being recorded against one account and a credit entry being recorded
against the other account. There is no upper limit to the number of accounts involved in
a transaction - but the minimum is no less than two accounts. The totals of the debits and
credits for any transaction must always equal each other, so that an accounting transaction
is always said to be "in balance." If a transaction were not in balance, then it would not
be possible to create financial statements. Thus, the use of debits and credits in a two-
column transaction recording format is the most essential of all controls over accounting
accuracy.
Debtors--are the opposite of creditors. Essentially, it’s a term that refers to individuals,
people, or entities that owe money to another entity because they were supplied with
goods/services or borrowed money from an institution. Generally, debtors owe a lump
sum (the debt), which is split up into monthly repayments over a predetermined period
until the debt is finally paid off. Furthermore, debtors may need to pay interest on the
original value of the loan.
Creditors-- are individuals, people, or other entities (i.e., organisation, government body,
etc.) that are owed money because they have provided goods or services or loaned
money to another entity. Generally speaking, you can expect to deal with two types of
creditors: loan creditors and trade creditors. Loan creditors include banks, building
societies, and other financial institutions, whereas trade creditors are essentially
suppliers that haven’t yet been paid for the goods/services they supplied.
Q9. Explain In Detail – Assets, Capital, Liability, Drawing, Bad Debts, Income
And Expenses.
Assets are the economic resources belonging to a business. Assets could be money
in a cash register or bank account, or items such as property, fixtures and furniture,
equipment, motor vehicles, and stock or goods for resale. An important asset in
businesses which sell goods or services on credit is money owed to the enterprise by
customers. This asset is known as debtors.
Capital is the value of the investment in the business by the owner(s). It is that part of
the business that belongs to the owner; hence it is often described as the owner’s
interest.
Liabilities are the debts owed by the firm. The main types of liabilities are creditors
(money owed by the business to suppliers of goods and services), bank overdrafts and
bank loans.
Bad debt is a type of account receivable for an organisation that has become
uncollectible from the customer due to the customer’s inability to pay the amount of
money taken on credit from the organisation. The reasons that debtors are unable to
repay can vary from the individual or organisation going bankrupt or having severe
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
financial problems, or it can be due to unwillingness of the debtor to pay the debt. Bad
debts are recorded in the financial statements as a provision for credit losses.
Revenue -The revenue number is the income a company generates before any expenses
are taken out. Therefore, when a company has "top-line growth," the company is
experiencing an increase in gross sales or revenue.
Both revenue and net income are useful in determining the financial strength of a
company, but they are not interchangeable. Revenue only indicates how effective a
company is at generating sales and revenue and does not take into consideration
operating efficiencies which could have a dramatic impact on the bottom line.
Income--isoften considered a synonym for revenue since both terms refer to positive cash
flow; however, in a financial context, the term income almost always refers to the
bottom line or net income since it represents the total amount of earnings remaining
after accounting for all expenses and additional income. Net income appears on a
company's income statement and is an important measure of the profitability
of a company.
Expenses− Expenses refer to those costs that are incurred to earn revenue for the
business. It is incurred for maintaining profitability of the business. It indicates the
amount spent to meet short-term needs of the business. It is shown in the debit side of
the profit and loss account or trading account. For example, wages, rent paid, salaries
paid, outstanding wages, etc.
The last step in the accounting cycle is to make closing entries by finalizing expenses,
revenues and temporary accounts at the end of the accounting period. This involves
closing out temporary accounts, such as expenses and revenue, and transferring the net
income to permanent accounts like retained earnings.

Q14. Explain The Accounting Equation In Details?
The accounting equation is the basic element of the balance sheet and the primary
principle of accounting. It helps the company to prepare a balance sheet and see if the
entire enterprise’s asset is equal to its liabilities and stockholder equity. It is the base of
the double-entry accounting system.
In this format, the formula more clearly shows how the assets controlled by the business
have been funded. That is, through investment from the owners (capital) or by amounts
owed to creditors (liabilities). You may also notice two other interesting points regarding
the formula being laid out in this way:
Capital = Assets – Liabilities
Assets = Capital + Liabilities
Liabilities=Assets-Capital

A voucher refers to a written document, that acts as evidence for the transaction
carried out. These contain a serial number and are in printed/digital form. They are
prepared in different colours, for distinguishing them from one another. On the generation
of invoice, or receipt of the bill, the entries are first made in vouchers. After that, on the
basis of these vouchers recording in journal or subsidiary books is performed.

1. Daily transactions are recorded in the books of original entry which reduces chances
of any omission.
2. The books of original entry records details as well as summary of transactions, which
helps in tracing any error in recording.
3. Transactions are recorded in a chronological order which helps in categorising the
transactions into separate ledgers.
The following are some of the types of books of original entry.
1. Purchase Journal: Purchase journal is used for recording all credit purchases done by
the business. It is also known as the Purchase Day book or the invoice book. It records all
the credit purchase transactions of the core products of the business.
2. Sales Journal: Sales journal is used for recording all the sales done on credit by the
business. It is also known as Sales Daybook or Sales Journal. The credit sales transactions
are recorded for only those goods that belong to the core business operations of the
company.
3. Cash Journal: Cash journal is also known as a cash book which records all the cash
transactions such as payments and receipts of the business. Cash book serves the purpose
of a ledger as well as a journal as payments and receipt entries are recorded on credit side
and debit side, respectively.
4. General Journal: The general journal is for recording all those transactions that are not
recorded in the cash book as well as the special journals. Or in other words, the general
journal is a journal which records all the non-specialised entries of the business as there
is no specific journal for such entries. The examples of such entries can be opening
entries, closing entries, rectification entries, transfer entries, entries related to purchase or
sale of fixed assets.

in India. However, let us dig deeper into their differences to better understand both
concepts.
Value Added Tax:
Value-added tax or VAT is an indirect tax levied at various stages of production. Prior to
this, sales tax was charged at a flat rate on every sale. However, this led to double taxation
or what is otherwise known as a cascading effect. When a manufacturer buys raw
materials, he pays sales tax on the purchase. But when he processes it and sells it to the
customer, the customer again pays the same rate of taxes when in reality tax on raw
materials has already been paid and only the value added by the manufacturer in terms of
converting the raw materials into finished product must be taxed. So the government came
up with a credit system.
Every time you make a purchase and pay VAT, that amount of VAT is credited to your
VAT account. And when you sell the product and collect VAT from the customer, the
amount is debited from your VAT account. Then the amount of VAT collected from the
consumer and the amount of VAT paid to the vendor are set off against each other. If the
VAT collected is higher than VAT paid, then the difference is to be paid to the
government.
If the VAT paid is higher than the VAT collected then the business can apply for a refund
or a rebate. Typically, all goods fall within four or more schedules, which have a VAT
rate of anywhere from 1% to 15%. Dealers or manufacturers must apply for a VAT
registration the moment their turnover hits Rs. 5 lakh per year (this amount also differs
from one state to the next).
Central Sales Tax:
CST, or Central Sales Tax, is an indirect tax levied on interstate sales. Unlike VAT, CST
is not levied at every stage of production, and not even on the sale of the goods if they are
sold in the same state. Only when a manufacturer decides to take the goods to another
state does CST need to be levied. You can apply for a CST Registration at a cost of just
Rs. 25 when applying for a VAT Registration.
Applicability
VAT: VAT is applicable on imported goods as well as those manufactured within the
country. While the rate may differ from one type of item to the next, the rate will be the
same whether imported or domestically produced. CST: As with VAT, CST is also levied
on both imported goods as well as those produced within the country at the same rate.
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
All of the debits and credits relate to a single accounting event. Examples of accounting
events that frequently involve compound journal entries are:
• Record all payments and deductions related to a payroll
• Record the account receivable and sales taxes related to a customer invoice
• Record multiple line items in a supplier invoice that relate to different expenses
• Record all bank deductions related to a bank reconciliation
Example of a Compound Entry
An example of a compound journal entry is a payroll entry, where there is a debit to
salaries expense, another debit to payroll taxes expense, and credits to cash and a variety
of deduction accounts.
There are two primary types of entries in the petty cash book, which are a debit to
record cash received by the petty cash clerk (usually in a single block of cash at
infrequent intervals), and a large number of credits to reflect cash withdrawals from the
petty cash fund. These credits can be for such transactions as payments for meals,
flowers, office supplies, stamps, and so forth
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
SUBSIDIARY BOOKS:- We had discussed earlier that it is practically difficult to
record all the transactions in only one book of prime entry. For convenience, the Journal
is divided into a number of Subsidiary Books. These are
1. Cash Book: To record receipts and payments of cash, including receipts into and
payments out of the bank.
2. Purchases Book: To record credit purchases of goods dealt in by the firm. All credit
purchases of goods are recorded in this book.
3. Sales Book: To record the credit sales of goods dealt in by the firm.
4. Purchases Return Book: To record the return of goods previously purchased on credit
5. Sales Return Book: To record the return of credit sales made by customers.
6. Journal Proper: To record the transactions which cannot be recorded in any of the
books mentioned above.
Advantages of Subsidiary Books: - The use of subsidiary books has the following
advantages:
(i)Division of Work: Since in the place of one Journal, subsidiary books are also
maintained, accounting work can be divided among a number of persons.
(ii) Specialization and Efficiency: When the same work is handled by a
particular person for a considerable time, he acquires expertise in it and becomes
efficient in handling it. Thus, accounting is done more efficiently.
(iii) Saving of Time: Various accounting processes can be undertaken
simultaneously because of the use of number of books. Thus, it leads to saving of
time.
(iv) Availability of Information: Since a separate book is maintained for each
class of transactions, information relating to each class is available at one place.
(v) Facility in Checking: In case, the Trial Balance does not agree, locating
the error or errors is facilitated by the existence of separate books. Since the number
of transactions is less in each subsidiary book as compared to only one Journal, it
is easy to locate the errors.
(vi) Responsibility: Division of work results in assigning a particular job to a
particular person. If an error is committed in recording, responsibility can be easily
fixed.
Q29. What Are Final Accounts, Explain The Part Of Final Accounts?
Final Accounts Meaning
Final accounts are those accounts that are prepared by a joint stock
company at the end of a fiscal year. The purpose of creating final
accounts is to provide a clear picture of the financial position of the
organization to its management, owners, or any other users of such
accounting information.
Final account preparation involves preparing a set of accounts and
statements at the end of an accounting year. The final account consists
of the following accounts:
1. Trading and Profit and Loss Account
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
2. Balance Sheet
3. Profit and Loss Appropriation account
Objectives of Final Account preparation
Final accounts are prepared with the following objectives:
1. To determine profit or loss incurred by a company in a given
financial period
2. To determine the financial position of the company
3. To act as a source of information to convey the users of accounting
information (owners, creditors, investors and other stakeholders)
about the solvency of the company.
There are generally three types of final accounts and they are:
1. Trading account
2. Profit and loss account
3. Balance sheet
Different stages of final account of a company are:
1. Prepare trial balance
2. Adjusting the trial balance
3. Preparing adjusted trial balance
4. Prepare financial statements
5. Closing the books
Q30. Distinguish Between Journal And Ledger?
The Journal is a subsidiary day book, where monetary transactions are recorded for
the first time, whenever they arise. In this, the transactions are regularly recorded
in an orderly manner, so that they can be referred in future. It highlights the two
accounts which are affected by the occurrence of the transaction, one of which is
debited and the other is credited with an equal amount

Q33. What Do You Mean By The Term ‘Company’ Explain The Kinds Of
Company?
A company is a legal entity formed by a group of individuals to engage in and
operate a business—commercial or industrial—enterprise. A company may be
organized in various ways for tax and financial liability purposes depending on the
corporate law of its jurisdiction.
• A company is a legal entity formed by a group of individuals to engage
in and operate a business enterprise in a commercial or industrial
capacity.
• A company's business line depends on its structure, which can range
from a partnership to a proprietorship, or even a corporation.
• Companies may be either public or private; the former issues equity to
shareholders on an exchange, while the latter is privately-owned and not
regulated.
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
• A company is generally organized to earn a profit from business
activities.
• Companies are an important contributor to the health of an economy as
they employ individuals and attract disposable income to spur growth.
Types of Companies
In the United States, tax law as administered by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) and individual states dictates how companies are
classified.1 Examples of company types in the U.S. include the
following:
• Partnerships are formal arrangements in which two or more parties
cooperate to manage and operate a business.
• Corporations are legal entities that are separate and distinct from their
owners and provide the same rights and responsibilities as a person
• Associations are vague and often misunderstood legal entities based on
any group of individuals who join together for business, social, or other
purposes as a continuing entity. (This may or may not be taxable
depending on structure and purpose.)2
• Funds are businesses engaged in the investing of pooled capital of
investors.
• Trusts are fiduciary arrangements in which a third party holds assets on
behalf of beneficiaries.
Q34. Define the following terms-Trial Balance, Partnership Deed, Equity Shares?
(1). Trial Balance- A trial balance is a bookkeeping worksheet in which the
balances of all ledgers are compiled into debit and credit account column totals that are
equal. A company prepares a trial balance periodically, usually at the end of every
reporting period. The general purpose of producing a trial balance is to ensure that the
entries in a company’s bookkeeping system are mathematically correct.
• A trial balance is a worksheet with two columns, one for debits and one for
credits, that ensures a company’s bookkeeping is mathematically correct.
• The debits and credits include all business transactions for a company over
a certain period, including the sum of such accounts as assets, expenses,
liabilities, and revenues.
• Debits and credits of a trial balance must tally to ensure that there are no
mathematical errors, but there could still be mistakes or errors in the
accounting systems.
(2). Partnership Deed- Partnership deed is a partnership agreement between
the partners of the firm which outlines the terms and conditions of the
partnership between the partners. The purpose of a partnership deed is to
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
provide clear understanding of the roles of each partner, which ensures smooth
running of the operations of the firm.
The Partnership comes into the limelight when:
• There is an outcome of agreement among the partners.
• The agreement can be either in written or oral form.
(3). Equity Share- An equity share, normally known as ordinary share is a part
ownership where each member is a fractional owner and initiates the maximum
entrepreneurial liability related to a trading concern. These types of shareholders in any
organization possess the right to vote.
• Authorized Share Capital- This amount is the highest amount an
organization can issue. This amount can be changed time as per the
company’s recommendation and with the help of few formalities.
• Issued Share Capital- This is the approved capital which an organization
gives to the investors.
• Subscribed Share Capital- This is a portion of the issued capital which an
investor accepts and agrees upon.
• Paid Up Capital- This is a section of the subscribed capital, that the
investors give. Paid-up capital is the money that an organization really
invests in the company’s operation.
• Right Share- These are those type of share that an organization issue to
their existing stockholders. This type of share is issued by the company to
preserve the proprietary rights of old investors.
• Bonus Share- When a business split the stock to its stockholders in the
dividend form, we call it a bonus share.
• Sweat Equity Share- This type of share is allocated only to the outstanding
workers or executives of an organization for their excellent work on
providing intellectual property rights to an organization.

Q39. What Do You Mean By The Term Of ‘Share’? Discuss The Types Of Shares?
In the past few months, the share market has made headlines every morning.
Investing in shares has emerged as the most popular way of generating long term wealth
and fulfilling your financial goals. In fact, FY21 witnessed a whopping increase of 142
lac retail investors in India itself. Today, stocks or equities account for 12.9% of the
total investments in India. As an investor, one needs to understand the basics of what
the share market comprises and how it works.
What Is the Meaning Of Share?
A share represents a unit of equity ownership in a company. Shareholders are entitled to
any profits that the company may earn in the form of dividends. They are also the
bearers of any losses that the company may face. In simple words, if you are a
shareholder of a company, you hold a percentage of ownership of the issuing company
in proportion to the shares you have bought.
Shares can be further categorized into two types. These are:
1. Equity shares
2. Preference shares
They vary based on their profitability, voting rights and treatment in the event of
liquidation.
Equity Shares Meaning
These are also known as ordinary shares and comprise the bulk of the shares being
issued by a particular company. Equity shares are transferable and are traded actively by
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
investors in stock markets. As an equity shareholder, you are not only entitled to voting
rights on company issues but also have the right to receive dividends.
These dividends, however, are not fixed. Equity shareholders also partake in any losses
faced by the company, limited to the amount they had invested. Equity shares can be
further divided based on:
o Share capital
o Definition
o Returns
Classification Of Equity Shares based on Share Capital
Here is a look at the classification of equity shares based on share capital:
Authorized Share Capital: Every company, in its Memorandum of Associations,
requires to prescribe the maximum amount of capital that can be raised by issuing
equity shares. The limit, however, can be increased by paying additional fees and after
the completion of certain legal procedures.
Issued Share Capital: This implies the specified portion of the company’s capital,
which has been offered to investors through the issuance of equity shares. For example,
if the nominal value of one stock is Rs 200 and the company issues 20,000 equity
shares, the issued share capital will be Rs 40 lakh.
Subscribed Share Capital: The portion of the issued capital, which has been
subscribed by investors is known as subscribed share capital.
Paid-Up Capital: The amount of money paid by investors for holding the company’s
stocks is known as paid-up capital. As investors pay the entire amount at once,
subscribed and paid-up capital refer to the same amount.
Classification Of Equity Shares based on Definition
Here is a look at the equity share classification based on the definition:
Bonus Shares: Bonus share definition implies those additional stocks which are
issued to existing shareholders free-of-cost, or as a bonus.
Rights Shares: Right shares meaning is that a company can provide new shares to its
existing shareholders - at a particular price and within a specific period - before being
offered for trading in stock markets.
Sweat Equity Shares: If as an employee of the company, you have made a
significant contribution, the company can reward you by issuing sweat equity shares.
Voting And Non-Voting Shares: Although the majority of shares carry voting
rights, the company can make an exception and issue differential or zero voting rights to
shareholders.
Classification Of Equity Shares based on Returns
Based on returns, here is a look at the types of shares:
Dividend Shares: A company can choose to pay dividends in the form of issuing
new shares, on a pro-rata basis.
Growth Shares: These types of shares are associated with companies that have
extraordinary growth rates. While such companies might not provide dividends, the
value of their stocks increases rapidly, thereby providing capital gains to investors.
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
Value Shares: These types of shares are traded in stock markets at prices lower than
their intrinsic value. Investors can expect the prices to appreciate over some time, thus
providing them with a better share price.
Preference Shares
Preferential shareholders receive preference in receiving profits of a
company as compared to ordinary shareholders. Also, in the event of
liquidation of a particular company, the preferential shareholders are paid off
before ordinary shareholders. Here are the different types of shares in this
category:
Cumulative And Non-Cumulative Preference Shares: In the case of
cumulative preference shares, if a particular company doesn’t declare an annual
dividend, the benefit is carried forward to the next financial year. Non-cumulative
preference shares don't provide for receiving outstanding dividends benefits.
Participating/Non-Participating Preference Share: Participating preference
shares allow shareholders to receive surplus profits, after payment of dividends by the
company. This is over and above the receipt of dividends. Non-participating preference
shares carry no such benefits, apart from the regular receipt of dividends.
Convertible/Non-Convertible Preference Shares: Convertible preference
shares can be converted into equity shares, after meeting the requisite stipulations by the
company’s Article of Association (AoA), while non-convertible preference shares carry
no such benefits.
Redeemable/Irredeemable Preference Share: A company can repurchase or
claim redeemable preference share at a fixed price and time. These types of shares are
sans any maturity date. Irredeemable preference shares, on the other hand, have no such
conditions.

In business, debt and equity are the two significant methods by which they raise money
for the company’s expansion and growth.
Whenever a firm chooses equity to boost funds, the shares of the company are issued to
the public, and whoever buys shares gets an opportunity to be part of the company. The
second is debt a company receives a loan from the public and also agrees to pay the
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
interest regularly. There, the debenture is issued to the public and whoever buys it is
known as creditors.
Here, shares are defined as the share capital of an organization. It gives the shareholder
the right to hold a specified amount of the share capital of the firm. Similarly, a debenture
is a great financial tool that shows the debt of a business to the outside party/public and
gives a fixed interest rate. Today, most of the people invest in share or debenture intending
to get back better; therefore, it is essential to understand the two securities of investments.
Meaning of Debentures
A debenture is a debt tool used by a company that supports long term loans. Here, the
fund is a borrowed capital, which makes the holder of debenture a creditor of the business.
The debentures are both redeemable and unredeemable, freely transferable with a fixed
interest rate. It is unsecured and sustained only by the issuer’s credibility.
Unlike shareholders, the debenture holders who are the creditor of the company do not
hold any voting rights. The debentures are of following types:
• Secured Debentures
• Convertible Debentures
• Unsecured Debentures
• Registered Debentures
• Non-convertible Debentures
• Bearer Debentures
Meaning of Shares
A tiny part of a firm’s capital is identified as shares and is usually sold in the stock market
to raise funds for a business. The price at which the investor buys the share is known as
share price. The shareholders are qualified to receive the dividend as mentioned by an
organization because they are the owner of a portion of share iv the company.
The shares are transferrable/movable and are broadly categorized into two different
sections.
• Equity share
• Preference share

Q51. Difference Between Direct And Indirect Taxes In Indian Tax System?
Taxes are one of the biggest sources of income for the government. From your
salary, meals at a restaurant, watching a movie at the multiplex, driving your car on
roads, to simply purchasing a packet of biscuit from a general store, you pay many
different types of taxes in many different ways.
As a responsible citizen of the country, it is your duty to pay the taxes. But it is also
equally important to know the different types of taxes implemented in the country. All
the various taxations in India can be broadly classified into two categories- direct and
indirect tax. Let us have a detailed look at the meaning of these two types of taxes.
What is Direct tax?
In simple words, a direct tax is a tax that you directly pay to the authority imposing the
tax. For instance, income tax is imposed by the government, and you pay it directly to
the government. These taxes cannot be transferred to any other entity or person. There
are several acts which govern direct taxes.
In India, CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes) which is governed by the Department
of Revenue is responsible for the administration of direct taxes. The department is also
involved in planning and providing inputs to the government regarding the
implementation of direct taxes.
Common Types of Direct Taxes in India
1. Income Tax
The most common type of direct tax in India is income tax. It is imposed on the income
you earn in a financial year based on the income tax slabs of the IT department. The tax
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
is paid by individuals as well as businesses directly to the IT department. For individual
taxpayers, there are also several tax deductions available under various sections of the
IT Act.
2. Securities Transaction Tax
If you are involved in stock trading, each of your trade also has a small constituent
known as the securities transaction tax. Irrespective of whether you made money on the
trade or not, you will have to pay this tax. The broker collects this tax from you and
passes on to the securities exchange, which then pays it to the government.
3. Capital Gains Tax
Every time you make capital gains, you will be required to pay capital gains tax. This
capital gain could come from the sale of a property or from investments. Based on the
capital gains and the duration for which you held the investment, you will be required to
pay either LTCG (Long-Term Capital Gains) tax or STCG (Short-Term Capital Gains)
tax.
Benefits of Direct Taxes
Curbs Inflation-In case if there is monetary inflation, the government can increase
direct tax rates so that the goods and services demand can be reduced. As the demand
falls, it helps in condensing inflation.
Equitable-
Direct taxes are also known to be equitable as the progression principle is at its
foundation. People with lower income pay lower taxes, and people with higher income
pay higher taxes.
Reduces Inequalities-
The higher taxes collected from the rich are used by the government to launch newer
initiatives for the poor. The initiatives provide income sources to people with lower
income, helping them improve their living standards.
Disadvantages of Direct Taxes
Direct taxes also have some disadvantages such as
Considered a Burden-
As taxpayers are required to pay direct taxes like income tax in a single lump sum every
year, they are considered a burden. Moreover, even the documentation process is
generally complex and time-consuming.
Evasion is Possible-
While the government has made tax evasion very difficult now, there are still many
fraudulent practices through which individuals and businesses can avoid or pay lower
taxes than they should.
Restrains Investments-
Due to the imposition of direct taxes like securities transaction tax and capital gains tax,
a lot of people avoid investing. So, in a way, direct taxes restrain investments.
What is Indirect Tax?
While direct taxes are imposed on income and profits, indirect taxes are levied on goods
and services. A major difference between direct and indirect tax is the fact that while
direct tax is directly paid to the government, there is generally an intermediary for
Hartron Skill Centre-28 Rohtak, SCF-185, Huda Complex Near ZAD Global School-Ph. 7419488930,7404288876
collecting indirect taxes from the end-consumer. It is then the responsibility of the
intermediary to pass on the received tax to the government.
Unlike a direct tax, indirect taxes do not depend on the income of an individual. The tax
rate is the same for everyone. The CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs)
is mostly responsible for handling indirect taxes in India. Just like CBDT, CBIC also
works under the Department of Revenue.
Common Types of Indirect Taxes in India
Some of the most important types of indirect tax in India are as follows-
1. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
GST subsumed as many as 17 different indirect taxes in India like Service Tax, Central
Excise, State VAT, and more. It is a single, comprehensive, indirect tax which is
imposed on all the goods and services as per the tax slabs laid by the GST council. One
of the biggest benefits of GST is that it mostly eliminated the cascading or tax-on-tax
effect of the previous tax regime.
2. Customs Duty
When you purchase something that needs to be imported from a foreign country, you
are required to pay customs duty on it. Irrespective of whether the product has come to
India by air, land, or sea, you will have to pay the customs duty on it. The goal of
imposing this indirect tax is to make sure that every product entering India is taxed.
3. Value Added Tax (VAT)
A VAT is a type of consumption tax imposed on products whenever its value increases
throughout the supply chain. It is imposed by the state government, which also decides
the VAT percentage on different goods. While GST has mostly eliminated VAT, it is
still imposed on some products such as items that contain alcohol.
Benefits of Indirect Tax
Some significant benefits of indirect taxes are listed below-
Poor Contributes Too-
It is essential for the country that every individual contributes towards its development.
As the poor are often exempt from paying direct taxes, the indirect taxes ensure that
even poor contribute towards nation-building.
Convenience-
Unlike direct taxes which are generally paid in a lump-sum, indirect taxes like GST are
paid in small amounts. When you purchase a product or service, a small amount of GST
is already included in the price, and this makes its payment more convenient for the
taxpayers.
The collection is Easy-
If you want to know what is the difference between direct and indirect tax, one of
the biggest of them is how they are paid. Unlike direct taxes, there are no documents or
complex procedures involved in paying indirect taxes. You are required to pay the tax
right when you purchase a product or service.
