Dear Sir, Suppose an assessee who has reeceived income tax refund of Rs. 10000/- and Rs. 1000/- interest thereon for the fy 2014-2015 and the refund is received in fy 2015-16. Now preparing his capital a/c for the fy 2015-16, only interest amount should be added or refund + interest both amount should be added ?

Depends on the accounting method u have adopted. If refund receivable account is present then only interest gets added to the capital account otherwise the complete amount gets added to capital account

Only refund due originally will be taken to capital account and interest thereon gets added in total income therefore interest on refund will be added back to capital in the form of income which is credited to capital account.
