define contra entry?

Answer Posted / ammu

In the three column cash book there will be some cross or
contra entries i.e., transfer of money from cash to bank
(amount deposited) and vice versa (amount withdrawn from
bank for office use). In all such cases both entries occur
in the cash book and no ledger entry is required. This is
indicated by a contra sign (C) in the folio column
indicating thereby that the double entry aspect of this
transaction is complete and it requires no posting to the
ledger.

"Deposits in the bank of cash: debit bank column 'To Cash'
and credit the cash column 'By bank'."
