21 January 2011 70 % of the project cost is received as advance. What did you do with that advance instead of saying "percentange completion cannot be measured". Did you spent any amount ,out of the advance ,towars the project? If so, recognize revene on the percentage of cost incurred to the total cost method, being one of the option given in AS-7.

07 June 2011 Type of services you have not mentioned, however let us assumed this is construction services, in this case you need to follow AS 7 and in this case advance is not relevant, important factor is completion
