Advance GST Paid A/c Dr Rs 5000(Under Current Assets)
GST Liability A/s          Dr  Rs 15000
      To Bank A/c                                 Rs 20000

Sir,

Actually my question is about excess payment. For example we had paid Rs.20,000 by mistake..then we analysed that actual taxable amount  was Rs.15,000 .. now we have option to claim refund  and how to do make entry for this? and how to approach refund as income or which head of accounts will suit for refund???

Refund applied is an asset and will be categorised under currrent asset

Interest on refund will part of Income.
