It should be a capital receipt. It cant be considered as revenue, becasue the amount which you had paid to teh mobile co. you are getting back the same amount. Hence while paying the amount it should be shown under the head Loans & Deposits & while getting back the refund it will become nil, by crediting BS account.

hi shraddha
it cant be considered as revenue as the same is not allowed while deposit under it act
moreover irrespective of source and presentation of such deposit it should be considered as capital receipt unless and until earlier the same was allowed as expenditure under the act while making deposit

its simply a capital receipt. whatsoever a case may be.....i.e. wheather taken in balance sheet or not. Simply its not income from your business activity hence it is once in a while income so it must be capital in nature........

If it pertains to Income Tax specifically, it should be classified in reference to section 41 of IT Act. Where it say: Where an allowance or deduction has been made in the assessment for any year in respect of expenditure incurred by the assessee - and subsequently assessee was able to recover the allowed allowance or deduction, it will be chargeable to income-tax as the income of that previous year, in respect of the allowance or deduction, whether it be in cash or any other manner.
So you have to identify whether in any earlier assessment year deposit was treated as expense and allowed as deduction, if so it will be treated as income in the year of receipt. If it was not charged as expense it will not be chargeable to income on subsequent refund. Please refer section 41 in detail.

If shown as a Asset (Loans & Advances) than treated as Capital Receipt and dispose off the asset with relevant cash receipt otherwise treat it as Revenue Receipt
