Cash is neither considered Debit or Credit. There are three basic categories of accounts, accounts will fall under (generally) either Assets, Liabilities, or Owners Equity (aka Stockholders Equity).

The term Debit and Credit, literally translated mean, Debit = Left side:Credit = Right side, in double entry accounting.

Assets will increase with a debit and decrease with a credit.

Liabilities and Owners Equity will increase with a credit and decrease with a debit.

If you "receive" cash, you debit the cash account. If you "pay out" cash, you credit the cash account.

When can we say that cash is debit?

Cash can be considered a debit when it is recorded on the left side of a ledger account in accounting, reflecting an increase in assets. For example, when cash is received from a sale or a loan, it is debited to the cash account. This entry increases the cash balance, aligning with the accounting equation where assets must equal liabilities plus equity.
