no it will not as advance received isn't your income. income would arise when actual sale is being booked against the debtor

Advance received shall be treated as income only in the year in which it is recognized. In our case, advance shall form part of turnover only in the year in which actual billing is done. This is irrespective of the fact that you follow a cash system or a mercantile system of accounting.
