we had sold goods to one of our party of Rs 350000 in fy 20-21 but party credited our account of Rs 360000, so how to treat that excess rs10000 received if we want to close account in this year?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses how to handle an excess amount received from a party against a sale. If a customer pays more than the invoiced amount, the extra funds should be treated as an excess receipt. The recommended accounting entry involves debiting the bank account, crediting an 'Excess Receipt' account (shown as indirect income in the P&L), and crediting the trade debtors' account for the original sale amount. Alternatively, the excess can be returned to the debtor or adjusted against future payments.

If wrongly or by mistake credited to account , then return to Trade Debtor's , or adjust in the next receipt of payment from Debtor's . If no objection from Debtor's then pass above entry .
