21 May 2011 1. provision need to provide for extra claims as per escalation clause terms during the particular reporting period

2. In case estimated contract cost exceeding the contract price , the provision for future loss need to be provided in the contract starting period itself as per AS-7

21 May 2011 thank you sir, but, the provision that has to be made for escalation clause would be made from the Profit & Loss A/c...i guess???? Would that be shown in the Contract Account???

Thank You!!!
