Balance sheet is purely linked to current account. No other account is linked to it.

Pls advise :

Can A write off Advance Tax and TDs on bussiness to the capital account at this stage .If , yes does he have to pass entereies in the previous year s balance sheet. OR  a single entry can be passed in balance sheet of FY  2014-15.

If capital account is credited then Capital will increase in the business. If capital increase then banks will not tally. 

Note : Advance Tax has been filed from Current Account and refund of ITR Assesed is credited to Savings account:

First, what is a current account? Are you maintaining two different accounts of the proprietor?

Second, if the Advance Tax and TDS of previous years are still being carried on Balance Sheet then you should transfer the same to his personal balance sheet by debiting Capital Account, all of them.

A single entry can be easily passed in the current accounting year and you need not make any changes in previous years. 

Moreover, when u write off advance tax and tds from capital account, the capital will decrease and corresponding effect will be on the concerned tax asset account already standing in the books and will not affect your bank accounts. Here, you may not bring the refund received in savings accounts in the books of accounts of business.
