Can it be booked as prior period item since it is a rectification of mistake of earlier year..

24 June 2008 Dear Sir,
You may refer AS-4. I.T. Dpt. will disallow if you show as Prior Period Items. SO the best option is to show as Sales return (It may create problem as its after 2 year). But there is no better option.

27 June 2008 Dear Sir,
