What is Cash Deposit Slip?

A cash deposit slip is a record of how much money will be/has been deposited into a bank account. In simple words, a cash deposit slip is a form that is used to itemize the cheques and cash being deposited into a bank account.

Components and Format of Cash Deposit Slip

The cash deposit form contains the following information:

• The name on the account
• The account number
• The amount or value of each cheque being deposited
• The amount or value of any bills and coins being deposited

How to use Cash Deposit Slip?

One can deposit money into the bank either by cash or cheque. Below is a step-by-step process to use the cash deposit slip.

Cash Deposit Slip Process

The completed cash deposit slip is bundled with the checks, bills and coins itemized on the form and presented to the cashier at the bank. The cashier or the concerned bank person processes the deposit and matches the total processed to the total stated on the deposit slip to ensure that they match; thus, the cash deposit slip is a cash processing control for the bank.

Once the cashier processes the deposit, he gives the customer a receipt, which states the total amount of the deposit, along with the date and time. The receipt given by cashier to the depositor also called a counterfoil act as proof that the deposit was made.

Cash Deposit in Excess of Rs 50,000/

While depositing cash in excess of Rs. 50,000/-, remember to carry a PAN (Permanent Account Number) card. It’s Mandatory to mention the PAN for deposits over Rs. 50,000/-

Benefits of Cash Deposit Slips

Cash deposit slips offer protection to both the bank and the customer. Banks use them to maintain a written ledger of funds deposited throughout the day and to ensure that no deposits are unaccounted at the end of the business day.

For the person depositing cash, a cash deposit slip serves as a de facto receipt that the bank properly accounted for the funds and deposited the correct amount and into the correct account. If the depositor later checks the account balance and discovers the deposit was not counted correctly, the deposit slip serves as proof that the bank acknowledged receiving the funds from the customer.

Changing Phases and Usage of Cash Deposit Slip

Cash deposit slips are becoming a thing of the past as banks have begun removing deposit slips from their branches in favor of new technology. Banks today do not require deposits slips for ATM deposits since the computer can read the cheque or count the cash and electronically credit the account associated with the ATM card.

On the other side, the accounting software used by the business has become smart to support all banking needs. The accounting software enables the businesses to generate the cash deposit slip right from the software. Thus, making it possible to save time involved in manually writing the cash deposit slip and more importantly, preventing errors. We all know how bad the error in the cash deposit slip hurts.
