Hi Experts

 

We are service provider-(Export of services-IT) and registered under GST act as well.

Please advise-

1) Date of bill raised to party- 10.04.2021 for $2000 and Payment received from party on dated 15/05/2021 for $ 1980

 

What should be the right accounting entries for above transaction.

 

Let assume exchange rates are as follows-

Thanks in advance

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the proper accounting treatment for exporting services under the GST regime. It covers how to record transactions based on invoice date and exchange rates, and how to manage differences arising from currency fluctuations or payment shortfalls. The advice includes adjusting debtor balances and utilising a foreign exchange fluctuation account.

Accounting will be done on the date of invoice taking rate of that time.

Which spot rate shall be used? and from where to get this rate?

Can you please advise?

And how to treat $ shortage in books?

Account for the invoice in your books in INR on 10.04.2021. 

On 15.05.2021 adjust your debtor balance with the amount received in bank.

If there pertains any difference in debtor balance after set off the adjust with foreign exchange fluctuation account in indirect expenditure. 

Please look why the payment was made after reducing 20$.,
