Quick Summary
This discussion explains how to account for Point of Sale (POS) transactions, particularly for a school collecting tuition fees. It details how to record the net amount received in the bank account and separately account for Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) and GST charges levied by the POS merchant. The advice includes passing separate entries for fee collection and MDR expense booking, ensuring accurate financial records.

 Day by day you have to credit those customers who made those transactions .............. Dr. to gst ( cgst & sgst ) ........... ................ like if any customer transfers via pos to your account ....you may have to credit such an amount ( 164700 ) & dr. to gst & charges if any .  

Parents pay the tution fees of students

Do you want to ask about payment entry or receipt entry ????

Receipt entry
1) IS it school ?
2) If it is school, how GST is applicable?.
4) what is MDR expenses?.
please elaborate in detail.
There was a school in school there is a pos machine for taking the fees form parents
school have no gst
but our pos merchant charges MDR and on MDR charges they take gst after deducting MDR and gst charges they send payment in school bank account

You have to pass two separate entries for receipt of fees and payment of MDR expenses

1) School fees Collected in POS Marchant Machine and deposited in your Bank .( receipt entry)

Bank A/c Dr. 162226.76
To Tution fees A/c Cr 162226.76
( Tution fees Collected )

Tution fees Collected Transfer to Income & Expenditure Account entry

Tution fees. A/c Dr 
To Income & Expenditure A/c
( Transfer entry)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

2) MDR expenses A/c Dr
    CGST A/c Dr
    SGST. A/c Dr
    To POS Marchant A/c Cr . 2473.24
( MDR expenses booking entry after receipt of Invoice from Marchant for using PO Machine)


POS Marchant A/c Dr   2473.24
To Bank A/c Cr                             2473.24
( payment entry of MDR Expenses)

Your school has to take Invoice from Marchant for MDR charges +GST
