Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment of government grants received by charitable trusts for building construction. The grant amount should not be shown as income immediately. Instead, it can either reduce the cost of the building on the asset side of the balance sheet or be credited to deferred income and recognised over time. Once utilised, the grant amount is removed from liabilities and adjusts the asset's value.

06 March 2020 AS 12 is applicable for non-companies.
There are two options, either reduce the cost of building in the balance sheet. Or credit the grant to deferred income and transfer to income in the ratio of depreciation charged periodically.

06 March 2020 The building will be shown at cost less grant amount. If it is zero, then at Re. 1.
