Quick Summary
Income tax refund is recorded by debiting bank and crediting income tax refund receivable. Any interest received is treated as indirect income. Refund receivable is shown under other current assets.

When the I-T Refund was being claimed during the eyar of filling the return, then in that Year all the prepaid Taxes shall be netted-off against the Provision for TAxation and excess tax paid if any shall be shown under Current Assets as Income-Tax Refund Receivable(For F.Y.).

Now when you receive the refund then the following entry will be passed:

Bank A/C  Dr   xxx

To- I-T Refund Receivable                          xxx

To- Interest on I-T Refund                          xxx

Interst of Refund shall be under indirect Income & sahll be taxable.

As per REvised Schedule VI, from F.Y. 2011-12 & onwards I-T Refund shall be shown under Other Current Assets and shall be shown as 'Income-Tax Refund Receivable(F.Y.)
