Razorpay Settlement Accounting – Journal Entries, Tally & Reconciliation Guide

Is detailed guide mein hum simple Hindi + English mein samjhenge ki Razorpay settlement accounting kaise kiya jata hai. Journal entries, TallyPrime treatment, reconciliation, refunds aur common mistakes sab clear examples ke saath cover kiye gaye hain.

What Is Razorpay Settlement Accounting?

Razorpay Settlement Accounting ka matlab hai customer se aaye payment, Razorpay ki fees, us par GST aur finally bank mein aaye net amount ko sahi tarike se books of accounts mein record karna.

Jab customer Razorpay se payment karta hai, to poora paisa aapke bank mein nahi aata. Razorpay apni service fee aur us par GST kaat kar baaki amount settle karta hai. Sahi accounting se aapke sales, bank balance, expenses aur GST records accurate rehte hain.

Yeh important hai kyunki:

• Profit sahi calculate hota hai
• GST compliance maintain rehti hai
• Bank reconciliation easy ho jati hai
• Audit ke time problem nahi aati
• Payment gateway ka asli cost pata rehta hai

How Razorpay Settlement Works

Razorpay mein paise ka flow is tarah hota hai:

Customer Payment → Razorpay → Fees + Applicable Taxes → Settlement → Aapka Bank Account

Customer payment karta hai, Razorpay usse receive karta hai. Phir apni charges aur GST kaat kar remaining amount aapke linked bank account mein transfer kar deta hai. Settlement generally T+1 ya T+2 pe hota hai (aapka account type aur verification status ke hisaab se).

How Razorpay Settlement Works

Razorpay Settlement Accounting Entry

Samajhne ke liye ek simple illustrative example lete hain.

Important Note: Neeche di gayi fee (₹200 + ₹36 GST) sirf samjhane ke liye illustrative example hai. Yeh Razorpay ki current official fee rates nahi hain. Asli fees aapke merchant category, payment method, volume aur plan par depend karti hain. Exact charges ke liye apna Razorpay dashboard ya agreement check karein.

Illustrative example:

• Customer payment = ₹10,000
• Illustrative gateway fee = ₹200
• Illustrative GST on fee = ₹36
• Net settlement bank mein = ₹9,764

Accounting Entry When Customer Payment Is Received

Jab customer successfully pay karta hai aur transaction Razorpay dashboard mein dikhta hai, to full sale amount record karein:

Particulars	Debit (₹)	Credit (₹)
Razorpay / Payment Gateway Clearing A/c	10,000
To Sales / Revenue A/c		10,000

Is entry se full sale recognise ho jati hai. Razorpay Clearing account temporary control account ki tarah kaam karta hai jab tak paisa bank mein settle nahi hota.

 

Razorpay Settlement Accounting Entry

Accounting Entry When Razorpay Settlement Is Received in Bank

Jab Razorpay net amount aapke bank mein bhejta hai, yeh entry pass karein:

Particulars	Debit (₹)	Credit (₹)
Bank A/c	9,764
Payment Gateway Charges A/c	200
Input CGST A/c	18
Input SGST A/c	18
To Razorpay / Payment Gateway Clearing A/c		10,000

Is entry se clearing account clear ho jata hai, bank receipt record hota hai, gateway fee expense mein chali jati hai aur GST input credit (agar eligible ho) book ho jata hai.

Accounting Treatment of Razorpay Fees

Razorpay fees ek business expense hai. Isse alag ledger mein debit karein jaise “Payment Gateway Charges” ya “Razorpay Fees”. Alag ledger rakhne se har mahine digital payment collect karne ka total cost easily pata chal jata hai.

Fee ko sales se adjust mat karein. Sales hamesha customer se charge kiye gaye full invoice value par record karein. Fee alag se collection cost hai.

GST on Razorpay Fees

Razorpay apni service fees par GST charge karta hai. GST registered business is GST ko generally input tax credit le sakta hai, agar GST law ki conditions fulfil hoti hain (valid tax invoice, service receive hona, supplier ne tax pay kiya ho, GSTR-2B mein dikhna etc.).

Upar ke example mein GST ₹36 ko CGST ₹18 + SGST ₹18 mein split kiya gaya hai (samjhane ke liye). Asli case mein CGST+SGST ya IGST ho sakta hai depending on place of supply. Hamesha Razorpay ke tax invoice aur apne business ke applicable GST rules follow karein.

Agar aap GST registered nahi hain ya credit eligible nahi hai, to GST portion ko bhi expense mein add kar dein.

Razorpay Settlement Reconciliation

Reconciliation ka matlab hai Razorpay settlement report ko aapke bank statement se match karna. Basic formula yeh hai:

Gross payment collected
− Gateway charges
− Applicable taxes / GST on fees
− Refunds aur other adjustments
= Net settlement amount jo bank mein aaya

Hamesha Razorpay dashboard se settlement report download karein aur bank statement se match karein. Koi bhi difference ho to turant check karein.

Complete Practical Example

Ek fictional business lete hain – “BrightTech Solutions”, Pune ki chhoti IT services firm jo client payments Razorpay se leti hai.

Ek week mein teen payments aaye:

• Payment 1: ₹10,000
• Payment 2: ₹15,000
• Payment 3: ₹5,000

Total gross collection = ₹30,000

Same illustrative fee structure se (official rates nahi hain):

• Total illustrative gateway fee = ₹600
• Total illustrative GST on fees = ₹108
• Net settlement bank mein = ₹29,292

1. Customer payments receive hone par (combined):

Particulars	Debit (₹)	Credit (₹)
Razorpay Clearing A/c	30,000
To Sales A/c		30,000

2. Bank settlement hone par:

Particulars	Debit (₹)	Credit (₹)
Bank A/c	29,292
Payment Gateway Charges A/c	600
Input CGST A/c	54
Input SGST A/c	54
To Razorpay Clearing A/c		30,000

Razorpay Settlement Accounting in TallyPrime

TallyPrime mein yeh ledgers banayein:

• Razorpay Clearing A/c – Current Assets ke under
• Payment Gateway Charges A/c – Indirect Expenses ke under
• Input CGST, Input SGST ya Input IGST – Duties & Taxes ke under
• Bank A/c – Bank Accounts ke under
• Sales A/c – Sales Accounts ke under

Upar dikhaye gaye do main journal entries pass karein. Mahine ke end mein Razorpay Clearing ledger ka balance ideally zero hona chahiye. Agar balance bacha hai to pending settlements ya unrecorded refunds check karein.

Razorpay Settlement vs Sales

Sabse common galti yeh hai ki log bank mein aaye net amount ko sales maan lete hain. Yeh galat hai.

Sales hamesha customer se charge kiye gaye full amount (example mein ₹10,000) par record karein. Bank mein aaya amount (₹9,764) sirf net cash inflow hai fees aur GST kaatne ke baad. Agar sirf bank credit ko sales manoge to aapka revenue kam dikhega aur collection cost bhi clear nahi hoga.

Razorpay Refund Accounting

Jab aap Razorpay se refund process karte hain, to amount usually future settlements se adjust ho jata hai ya current settlement se kat jata hai.

Full refund of ₹10,000 ke liye entry (agar original sale already record ho chuki hai):

Particulars	Debit (₹)	Credit (₹)
Sales Return / Refund A/c	10,000
To Razorpay Clearing A/c		10,000

Agar Razorpay ne original fee nahi reverse ki to fee expense hi rahegi. Agar fee bhi reverse hui to Payment Gateway Charges mein credit pass karein.

Common Accounting Mistakes

• Sirf net bank credit ko sales record kar dena
• Razorpay fees par GST ignore karna aur input credit miss karna
• Payment Gateway Charges ka alag ledger na banana
• Har mahine Razorpay settlements ko bank se reconcile na karna
• Refunds ko properly document kiye bina mix kar dena
• Razorpay Clearing account ka balance clear na karna
• Galat GST ledger use karna (CGST/SGST vs IGST)
