27 May 2014 how does it matter whether it is co or non-co. the entries will depend on whether you follow accrual accounting or cash-basis.

28 May 2014 nikhil it will matter since professionals follow cash basis and for companies under sec 209 of old co act 1956 they need to follow accrual sysytem of accounts.

28 May 2014 yes many do..I do...that is why i said that the relevant basis is the accounting method and not the nature of the entity.

28 May 2014 no...no one is wrong. as an individual/firm etc have the option of choosing the accounting method.

therefore, I go back to my original argument that entry is based accounting method and not on the entity.

Even in case of individuals, certain incomes have to be necessarily be recognised on accrual basis such as Interest on cumulative deposit scheme of Government undertakings. Such interest has to be compulsorily offered to tax on accrual basis refer : No. 371 [F. No. 178/44/80-IT(A-I)], dated 21-11-1983.
