Section 8 company had received donations Rs. 20 laks in FY 19.20 as corpus fund. The said amount was not shown to profit and loss account as income. In subsequent year i.e. in FY 20.21 the said amount was utilised under emergency as donation to a trust which was running Covid care centre. The company did not any receive any income or donation in F Y 20.21. The query is - What should be the accounting treatment in books of account. Whether the amount utilised from the Corpus fund should be shown as income in Profit and loss account of the company by transfer from Corpus fund. OR no income in profit and loss account and only expenditure of donation to other trust should be shown, resulting into deficit/loss in the profit and loss account? Further any qualifications are required in audit report?
