What are personal accounts?

Basically there are three types of accounts they are: 1) Real Accounts 2) Nominal Accounts 3) Personal Accounts Let us understand the above in detail : 1) Real accounts - Assests or liabilties like Building, Land, Investments, Loans, Debentures, Equity etc are the real accounts. The Rule of this type of accounts is Debit what comes in and Credit what goes out. 2) Nominal Accounts - Incomes or Expenses like Rent, Stationery, Salary, Interest on Investments, Sales, purchases, Discount given or received etc are the Nominal Accounts. The Rule of this type of accounts is Debit the Expenses and Credit the Incomes. 3) Personal Accounts - Debtors or Creditors accounts are known as personal accounts. The Rule of this type of accounts is Debit the Receiver and Credit the Giver. I think this would suffice ur question... For futher more any query plz contact me on nikhilgokharu@Yahoo.co.in
