Let's view this from the Bank's point when it comes to CASH! For example, you deposit Cash in to your account, the bank credits your account (which is opposite of what a company would do), when you withdraw money from your account, the bank debits your account (again opposite of what company's do).
To try and explain this in simple terms. When a company (not a bank) receives money, it is the "company's" money, which they can use to pay debts, purchase equipment, etc. Therefore it's a Debit (asset) to the company.
When a bank receives money that is placed in "your" account, it's not THEIR money, it's "YOURS", making it a form of a liability, they have your money that they will have to pay you back upon request, so in perspective it is a type of debt to the bank.
When a bank loans you money, it becomes an asset for them (they will receive not only payments for the loan but any interest on the loan) which is part of a banks income.

How are items that is reported as credits on the bank statement represent a additions made by the bank to the company's balances or b deductions made by the bank from the company's balance?
On the banks books a deposit by a customer is as asset of yours but the bank's liability to you. In accounting a liability is reflected as a credit. So your deposit, an increase to your balance, is reflected as a credit on the statement. Conversely a disbursement of funds by a customer is a debit on the statement, reducing the customers balance as well as reducing the banks liability to you . Hope that helps.

What is the check clearing process?
When a check is issued and later deposited, the depositing institution presents the check to the Fed Reserve Bank in the form of a cash letter. The FRB then facilitates the passing of credits and debits between banks via Fed Accounts. The FRB will then send the check in the form of an inclearing file to the issuing bank where they will have the ability to vet the funds against customer accounts to determine pay/no pay decisions. In the event the customer has sufficient funds, the issuing bank will debit their customer in order to become whole for the funds debited to them by the Fed. If the customer does not have sufficient funds, the bank will return the item via the Fed and be passed back a credit. The customers inability to pay the check will be communicated to the depositing institution in the form of a charge back which allows them to remove the deposit before the hold expires.

How the slr and crr influence the Indian business?
RBI lends to the commercial banks through its discount window to help the banks meet depositor's demands and reserve requirements. The interest rate the RBI charges the banks for this purpose is called bank rate. If the RBI wants to increase the liquidity and money supply in the market, it will decrease the bank rate and if it wants to reduce the liquidity and money supply in the system, it will increase the bank rate. As of 5 May, 2011 the bank rate was 6%.Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR): Every commercial bank has to keep certain minimum cash reserves with RBI. RBI can vary this rate between 3% and 15%. RBI uses this tool to increase or decrease the reserve requirement depending on whether it wants to affect a decrease or an increase in the money supply. An increase in Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) will make it mandatory on the part of the banks to hold a large proportion of their deposits in the form of deposits with the RBI. This will reduce the size of their deposits and they will lend less. This will in turn decrease the money supply. The current rate is 6%.Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR): Apart from the CRR, banks are required to maintain liquid assets in the form of gold, cash and approved securities. Higher liquidity ratio forces commercial banks to maintain a larger proportion of their resources in liquid form and thus reduces their capacity to grant loans and advances, thus it is an anti-inflationary impact. A higher liquidity ratio diverts the bank funds from loans and advances to investment in government and approved securities.
