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???
