Bills Receivable Account
Dr.				Cr.
Particulars	Amount Rs		Particulars	Amount Rs
Balance b/d	7,00,000		Cash (B/R matured)	2,80,000
			Bank (Bill endorsed)	65,000
			Creditors (endorsed)	70,000
Debtors (B/R received)	1,05,000		Balance c/d	3,50,000
			Debtors (dishonoured)	40,000
			(Balancing figure)
	8,05,000			8,05,000

Note:

As per solution, the missing figure in the bills receivable account is B/R dishonoured of Rs 40,000.

The missing figure in the debtors account is the credit sales of Rs 6,21,000, However, the NCERT book shows a credit sales Rs 5,16,000.

In order to match our answer with that of the book, B/R received from the customers is not shown in the debtors account.
