Cash in Transit

 Cash in Transit (CinT)

• • Station cash received in Cash Office after one or two days of the following month

  • and after the closing of the General Books is called Cash in Transit. 

   

  • Stations take credit in their Balance Sheets in the month in which Cash is realized,

  • but the same is not accounted for in the General Books due to delayed receipt in Cash Office.     

   

  • Example: Station Cash (accounted on 31st December 2021 in Station Balance Sheet)

  • received in the Cash Office on 3rd January 2022 after closing of the General Books of December 2021.
