What Is Dr and Cr?
An increase in liabilities or shareholders' equity is a credit to the account, notated as "CR." A decrease in liabilities is a debit, notated as "DR." Using the double-entry method, bookkeepers enter each debit and credit in two places on a company's balance sheet.

Does Dr mean I owe money?

Your bank must normally approve an overdraft in advance. Charges also apply if you use your overdraft facility or try to make a transaction when you do not have enough funds. Overdrawn balance is marked with the letters dr (meaning debit).

What are the rules of DR and CR?

The following are the rules of debit and credit which guide the system of accounts, they are known as the Golden Rules of accountancy: First: Debit what comes in, Credit what goes out. Second: Debit all expenses and losses, Credit all incomes and gains. Third: Debit the receiver, Credit the giver.
