    Hi anjali,

    As far as opening entries for bank (eg) is concerned, u will create an entry in the general journal and leave the balancing account blank.
    THis is because, you would actually enter all the TRIAL BALANCE ACCOUNTS value on each line. Hence, if ur trial balance is balanced, the journals would post without any problem.

    010101 bank a/c 100000(dr)
    010101 casha/c 2000000(dr)
    010101 sales a/c 4000000(cr)
    010101 purchase a/c 300000(dr)

    010101 is the posting date, next is the account type.
