In the UK it depends who you bank with, traditionally cheques have always taken 3 days to clear through the UK banking system, this allowed the banks time to check that the money was available to pay the cheque, however technology has improved so much that it no longer takes 3 days in many cases the cheque can be cleared almost instantly, some UK banks now offer to credit your account at the time you deposit the cheque, although others still insist on waiting up to 3 days. Check with your bank for clearance terms.

Why there is a difference between cash account in the campony's book and bank statement balance in bank?

The cashbook (account) in the company's books reflects all cheques written to suppliers and all cheques received from customers. However, the bank statement balance shows only cheques that have cleared. So at any date there can be a difference between the cashbook and the bank statement, comprising of cheques issued and/or cheques received but yet to clear and be debited/credited to the bank balance. There may also be differences due to accounting errors or omissions. In doing a bank reconciliation these differences can be identified and corrected.

What is meant by clearing of cheques?

If you take a cheque to your bank to pay it in, the bank will credit your account with the amount, but you will not be able to withdraw this amount until the bank has processed the cheque internally and received the money from the bank issuing the cheque. When they have done this the money is 'really' in you account and you can take it out - the cheque has cleared. This practice was needed (and reasonable) when cheques had to be processed between banks manually and protected the bank from the effects of bad cheques. However modern banking means that the clearing is electronic and yet the banks still keep the cleared funds for the same amount of time they always did (a week) - they use these uncleared funds themselves and it is wrong!

What does cheques effects not clear means?

"Cheque effects not cleared" typically refers to a situation where a cheque has been deposited into a bank account but the bank has not yet processed or cleared the funds. When a cheque is deposited, it goes through a clearing process, during which the bank confirms that the cheque is valid and that the funds are available in the account of the person or entity issuing the cheque. If the cheque’s effects are "not cleared," it means that the transaction is still pending or waiting to be processed.
