Question
What do you understand by 'debit' and 'credit? Do you think 'debit' always stands for decrease in amount and credit for increase?
✓

Answer

Debit refers to the left side of an account and credit refers to the right side of an account. In the abbreviated form Dr. stands for debit and Cr. stands for credit. An item recorded on the debit side of an account is said to be debited to the account. An item recorded on the credit side of an account is said to be credited to the account.
Both debit and credit may represent either increase or decrease depending upon the nature of an account. The rules of debit and credit depend on the nature of account.
