CHAPTER   XXVII 
 
CHECK OF STATION BALANCE SHEET 
 
 
2701   Station Balance Sheet -The Station Balance Sheet, which are prepared separately for Coaching 
and Goods transactions in the form prescribed for the purpose by each railway Administration, are the 
‘personal accounts’ of the Station Master. On the debit side of the account are shown the items of 
earnings, for the accounting of which he is responsible, classified under the various categories of traffic. 
On the credit side are shown the amounts remitted by the Station master to the Cashier, whether in “Cash” 
or “Vouchers”, acknowledged by the latter and other special items by which the station master clears his 
liability. The balance represents the unrealized earnings at the close of the month, for the collection of 
which the Station Master is responsible, and this forms the first liability in the Balance Sheet of the 
following month. 
2702                 The check of the Station Balance Sheet in the Accounts Office mainly consists in bringing 
the figures of the various traffic earnings into accord with the corresponding figures in the connected 
Returns in which the transactions have been initially brought to account and which are checked 
independently in the manner indicated in the previous chapters. Traffic receipts which are accounted for 
directly in the Station Balance Sheets without having been included in subsidiary Returns such as 
miscellaneous receipts, are checked with the original Cash Transmit Notes of Miscellaneous Receipts 
(COM/C.11 Revised) received daily in the Accounts Office in support of the debit entries. The main 
headings of the Balance Sheets and the Account documents and Returns with which these are checked are 
given in the charts below.
