In a bank reconciliation statement, if we start with the overdraft balance as per the pass book, cheques deposited but not credited will be added.
As we have already added the amount to the cash book reducing its overdraft assuming that it will be credited into the bank now we need to match with cash book balance which can be possible only by adding it reducing overdraft
