What is a 'Detail Book' in State accounts?

Government AccountsGARRule 15

A Detail Book records item-by-item entries for Debt, Deposit, and Remittance heads — accounts where the government has ongoing obligations (like provident fund deposits, security deposits, suspense balances). Since these are running balances (not annual totals), a detail book tracking individual credits and debits is essential to know the exact outstanding balance under each head.
