Cash register counter ka woh galla hai jahan cash rakha jata hai, aur roz ka cash aane jaane ka record.
Also called till, galla, cash drawer.
Example
A cashier opens the register with 5,000 rupees in notes. At night the system expects 38,000. The cashier counts 37,800, so the register is short by 200.
Opening and closing
Open the register with a counted float, record cash in and out during the day, then count and compare with the expected amount at closing. The difference is cash over or short. Doing this every day by the same person and with a signed record catches mistakes early. See opening float and cash over/short.
