This discussion addresses how to handle rent advance payments collected for renovations, especially when GST was charged on the initial advance invoice. The advice clarifies that unadjusted advance amounts can be carried forward and adjusted against future rent payments in the following financial year. Reconciliation can be managed by reporting unadjusted advances in Form 9C for both years, ensuring accurate turnover and GST liability reporting.

There is no problem . You can show recovery of balance advance in next year. Your turnover will not change, only GST liability will change.

There is no time limit for advance adjustment under GST. For first year the unadjusted advance shall be added to turnover in form 9C for reconciliation as "unadjusted advance in the end of financial year " and reduced in the turnover for second year as "Unadjusted Advances at the beginning of the Financial Year "-reconcile in this method.
