REFUND OF INCOME TAX MIGHT HAVE TWO COMPONENTS - TAX & INTEREST
INTEREST
Interest on Income tax refund is ur income and should be booked under "other/misc. incomes"
TAX
1) Refund of Tax should be credited to Advance tax/TDS A/c
2) If Advance Tax/TDS has already been adjusted with the provisions then - Refund should be taken after the net profit (after tax) i:e in Appropriation A/c or What called as"Below the Line"
