Sir, I always prepare sales & purchase summery to pay VAT payment (Monthly Basis).We are having Mercantile Acct System.I want to ask question that,after filing VAT challan for particular month i.e.January-2013, today (dt.06-07-2013)I have received purchase bill having date January-2013.Shall I enter this in current month (i.e.July-2013)?

If this bill was not shown in jan 2013 then u should show it in july but it will be against mercantile system of accounting as it should have been accounted in jan.
even for fy 2012-13 u need to pass entry as prior period entry in current year 2013-14.
