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.
