Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the journal entries required when a GST refund has been accrued but not yet received. It outlines a three-step process: initially recording the GST refund receivable, then the accrual entry for the refund itself, and finally, the entry when the refund is actually received by the bank. The conversation also touches upon the appropriate use of Output GST and Input GST accounts, and advises against creating separate accounts for 'GST Refund' and 'GST Receivable' due to their similar nature.

first  entry  will be  

1)   GST   Refund      A/c      Dr  

      Out  Put  GST     A/c       Dr  

      To  Input  GST     A/c              Cr  

   (  Being  GST  refund  receivable )  

 

2)   Entry for  GST  refund   Accrued  but  not   received  

      GST  refund  receivable    A/c     Dr  

      To   GST   Refund             A/c      Cr  

   ( GST   Refund  Accrued but  not  received )  

 

3)  When we  received  GST  Refund  

     Bank           A/c     Dr 

     To  GST refund  receivable   A/c    Cr  

   (  Being  refund  received  )  

For first entry why output gst? and input should we mention cgst,sgst&igst separately
Yes you correct , above . is for example otherwise you have mentioned CGST ,. SGST , IGST both out put and input Tax .
ITS NOT ADVISABLE TO CREATE TWO ACCOUNTS

1. GST REFUND
2. GST RECEIVABLE..


YOU ARE JUST TRANSFERRING GST REFUND TO GST RECEIVABLE.
BOTH THE ACCOUNTS NATURE ARE SAME.

For  Accrual  one has  to pass  GST receivable  entry  for  example   on 31st  March   .   

In other cases you should not pass this entry.

But  Abhishek (queriest )  is asking  for accrual  entry  may be  for year  end .
