Abstract: We define pseudo-reality and pseudo-adjointness of a Hamiltonian, $H$, as $hoHh{o}^{-1}=H^{a}st$ and $muHm{u}^{-1}=H^{p}rime$, respectively. We prove that the former yields the {it necessary} condition for spectrum to be real whereas the latter helps in fixing a definition for inner-product of the eigenstates. Here we separate out adjointness of an operator from its Hermitian-adjointness. It turns out that a Hamiltonian possessing real spectrum is first pseudo-real, further it could be Hermitian, PT-symmetric or pseudo-Hermitian.
