Causes of Differences in the Cash Book and Pass Book Balance.The difference may arise on account of the following reasons:

1. Differences caused by Time gap in recording transactions.
2. Differences caused by errors committed in recording transactions.

1. Differences caused by Time gap in recording transactions.

Quite often the difference between the Cash Book and Pass Book balance is caused by the time gap in recording the transactions. The reasons for time gap are as follows:

1. Cheque issued but not yet presented for payment in the Book: When a cheque is issued to a creditor by the firm, it is immediately recorded on the credit side of the bank column of the cash book. But the bank will debit the firm's account only when this cheque is actually presented to the bank for payment. Generally, there is a gap of some days between the issue of a cheque and its presentation to the bank. In the case of crossed cheques, the time lag is very high since such cheques can be presented for payment only through some bank. Thus, until the cheques are presented for payment, the cash book will show a reduced balance in comparison to the pass book.
2. Cheque paid into the bank for collection but not yet credited by the Bank: When a firm receives cheques, drafts etc. from its customers, "hey are immediately deposited into bank for collection and an entry is made on the debit side of the bank column of the cash book. But the bank will credit the firm's account only when it has actually collected the payment of these cheques from other banks. Again there will be a gap of some days between the depositing of the cheques into the bank and credit given by the bank. In the case of outstation cheques, this gap will be very high. Thus, until the cheques are collected and credited by the bank, the cash book will show an increased balance in comparison to the pass book.
3. Cheque paid into the bank for collection but dishonoured by the bank: When the cheques received from outside parties are deposited with the bank, these are immediately recorded on the debit side of the bank column of the cash book, but if the cheques are dishonoured, bank will not make any entry in the credit of customer's account. As a result, the cash book will show an increased balance in comparison to the pass book.

2. Differences caused by errors committed in recording transactions.

Sometimes the difference between the Cash Book and Pass Book balance may arise due to errors committed in recording transactions in the Cash Book or in the Pass Book. Hence, such errors may be of two types:

1. Errors committed in recording transactions by the firm: Sometimes the firm may commit errors while recording entries in the Cash book. Such errors may be:

1. Cheque issued to a creditor but omitted to be recorded in the Cash Book.
2. Cheques deposited into the bank but omitted to be recorded in the Cash Book.
3. Error in totalling or balancing the bank column of the Cash Book.

2. Errors committed in recording transactions by the bank: Sometimes the bank commits an error and records a wrong entry in the customer's account which causes a difference between the bank balance shown by the cash book and the balance shown by the pass book.
