1. Please give advice on how can we account for Donations received for the purchase of assets in an NPO, Section 8 Company having 80G & 12 A Registration.
How will be the purchase of the asset & depreciation on the asset accounted for in the books?
2. Can we treat these donations as we treat Govt. Grant as per AS 12?
for eg - ABC Ltd. Purchases machinery for Rs. 30 lakhs with a useful life of 5 years and ‘Nil’ salvage value. It gets Rs. 10 lakhs as a grant from the government for this machinery.
a) The Gross value of machinery will be shown as Rs. 30 lakhs on the balance sheet along with Rs. 10 lakhs as ‘Deferred Government Grant’.
b) Rs. 6 lakhs (30 lakhs / Useful life i.e. 5 years) will be charged to the profit and loss account each year as a depreciation along with an income of Rs. 2 lakhs (10 lakhs / Useful life i.e. 5 years).
Please guide me as per regulations applied on an NPO, which is a section 8 company having 12A, 80G registrations.
Your time & guidance is invaluable to me. Regards, Komal

Account it as normal donation and purchase of assets as application of funds. Charge applicable depreciation in the books of accounts. Depreciation will not be counted for income tax working.
