A cash account is designed to track cash inflows and outflows, reflecting the actual cash available. A credit balance in a cash account would indicate that the account has a negative cash position, which is not feasible since it cannot hold negative cash. If a credit balance appears, it typically suggests an error or that the account has been overdrawn, requiring correction. Therefore, a cash account should always reflect a debit balance or zero.
Cash is "not" a credit in accounting. The cash account is an asset and is a debit balance account. To increase the cash account you debit the account and to decrease it you credit it.Cash = Current Asset = Debit Balance(GAAP)
Petty Cash is an asset account with a normal Debit balance.

It is generally not possible to obtain a cash advance with a negative balance. Cash advances are typically given based on a positive account balance or credit limit.

Cash Account is a real account and also the asset of company and assets have normally debit balance according to basic accounting rules.So debit balance of cash means we have positive amount in cash account and will be shown as asset in balance sheet.But banks also provide overdraft facilities as well in this case we have normally credit balance of cash which means that we have negative balance in cash account and so it is liability of company to clear bank overdraft and make cash balance debit again.
