Quick Summary
If you're operating under the composition scheme and receive an advance payment for services, you are indeed liable to pay GST on that advance. This tax needs to be calculated and paid when filing your monthly returns. The advance received is considered inclusive of GST, and if the exact tax rate isn't known, a standard 18% GST applies. Furthermore, if the point of sale is unclear, it may be treated as an inter-state supply, requiring IGST payment.

Yes GST is leivable on advance received.

You have to calculate tax on advance and pay tax while filing the return for the month. The advance received should be grossed up. This means that advance received is considered inclusive of GST. When the rate of tax cannot be determined during receipt of advance GST @ 18% has to be charged. Also if the point of sale cannot be ascertained the advance is considered as interstate supply and IGST has to be paid.

Yes, GST is leviable on advance in case of supply of service. 

Adjust the advance received with the outward supply in future when you raise the tax invoice and makes tax payment against that invoice. 

Thank u sir
Your welcome
