Yes agreed but this treatment is specifically as per AS 12 on "Accounting for Government Grants" and also if u refer AS -9 on Revenue recognition it specifically says that when income is very certain to be received with no ultimate uncertainity then only it should be recognised else it should be recognise only when it is actually received.
