🤔 March Closing Kyun Important Hai?
India mein financial year 1 April se 31 March tak hota hai. Matlab 31 March ko aapki company ki poori saali income, expenses, assets, liabilities — sab kuch band ho jaata hai. Iske baad:
- Balance Sheet banegi
- P&L Account tayaar hoga
- ITR file hogi
- Audit hoga
- GST Annual Return (GSTR-9) submit hogi
Agar aapne adjustment entries sahi se nahi ki, toh puri Balance Sheet galat ho jaayegi — aur phir audit mein pakda jaayega. Isliye yeh entries itni zaroori hain.
