Wrong debits occur when a transaction is wrongly recorded or when incorrect amount is debited from an account. Such errors can occur in the following two cases:

 A person has more than one account in a bank: A cheque of Rs.4,000 issued from his/her savings account was wrongly paid through his/her current account.

 Amounts of cheques are wrongly recorded: A cheque payment of Rs.60,000 was wrongly debited in the pass book as Rs.6,000.
