According to the accounting entity concept, business is seperated from its owner.So the investment made by the owner (ie capital) is the fund that is to be repaid to the owner itself, at the very last when the company winds up.

Liability is the amount the business owe to an outsider.Same way, capital is also the amount the business owe to owner who is treated like an outsider.

So liabilty and capital are having the same rule as both of these are the one business owes to others.

Every business acquires funds from internal as well as from external sources. According to the business entity concept, the amount borrowed from external sources together with internal sources like, capital invested by proprietor, is termed as liability to the business. Business entity concept treats business and business owner separately. Capital of the owner is treated as liability to the business because the business has to repay the amount of capital to owner, in case of closure of business. As liability incurred is credited, in same way, fresh capital introduced and net profit increases the owner’s capital, and thus, capital is credited. On the other hand, if liability is paid, it reduces liability, and so, it is debited. Likewise, drawings from capital and net loss reduce capital, and hence, capital is debited. So, rules of debit and credit are same for both liability and capital.
