09 February 2012 we are selling products on credit basis, if the purchaser gives the amount in 3 days, we give discount of 5%.

My doubt is when should we recognize as sale
1. on the date of sale (OR)
2. on the date of amount received

I think as per AS -9
revenue should recognize when the amount is certain, so we should recognize sale on the date of receipt.

am i correct ?

09 February 2012 The discount allowed would be indirect expense to the seller at the time of the receipt because it is cash discount.
