i have two default static routes at R5 towards r3 and r4 .
two subnets are advertised to ISP 1 and twao subnets are advertised to ISP 2 .
these subnets are the lan pools on R5 .
Now the problem is , packets takes the default route randomly eg from R3 and goes to R1 and then to ISP 2 but the packets return from ISP 1 ,
it creates problem in some of the applications.
diagram is attched , can anyone suggest some solution.
for reverse route , from R1 and R2 toward R5 , i have run OSPF .

You didn't attach any diagram but ideally you want symmetrical routing with BGP. You can accomplish this by using AS_Prepend towards the ISP to advertise these subnets with less preference. With AS_Prepend traffic coming from the outside will use the path with the shortest AS info.
For traffic leaving your network, you can use local_pref (if you have an iBGP mesh between edge devices).
