What is the difference between a balance ledger and cash available for withdrawal?

The best answer I have found for this is that the ledger balance shows how much money of yours is actually within your account, even if some of it is about to be sent for payments of checks and charges and the like. The available balance is the rest, the money in your account not about to be used to pay any charges and is immediately available for withdrawal.
