dear sir,
In govt department fund is receiving for specail purpose as well as salary and other office exp is also utilising from that. what will be accounting treatment while receiving the fund and transferring for specail purpose and for exp?

Rahul, I think it would be a fair treatment to consider it as deferred income when the funds are received. Each time the related expenses are recognized in the P&L we could recognise the same amount as other income also.

i welcome your suggestion sir. Let me clear some more thing. will deferred income treated as current liabilities? At the time of receiving Bank a/c .....dr. To deferred Income...
at the time of transfer with respective department deferred income a/c .....dr. To Bank A/c
for expense Exp.....dr To bank A/c
and the same amount of exp I will transfer from deferred income Deferred income a/c......dr. To Other Income.
Rest amount of deferred a/c will be opening balance of next year.

Deferred income as current liabilities - You should read the agreement between the parties to know the duration of spending the funds and classify it as current if its within one year or if its more than one year classify it as long term liabilities. I thought all the fund will be received for spending for our expenses. Since that not the case don't use the term deferred income use some thing like "Special funds". All the entries are reasonable and rest of funds will be opening balance for next year
