Accounting of interest income

A company had calculated interest accrued but not due on their fixed deposit  as on 31-3-2010.

However, the company before approval of accounts made a pre-mature withdrawal of the FD. As a result the company had to bear loss of interest.

Suppose, interest accrued but not due accounted is Rs. 7 crore.

but on pre mature withdrawal they received only rs. 5 crore.

should the proportionate  reduction in interest income be shown in accounts considering the effect of AS 4-events occuring after balance sheet date and AS -9 revenue recognition(i.ei income should be realizable or realized). if yes, then how? because i have never heard of provision for interest accrued.

Provision can only be created on Accrued expenses and losses if any......Provision can never be created for accrued income under Prudence concept.....when interest is received.....it'll be recognised as income.......

Premature withdrawl of FD's is an adjusting event in accordance with AS-4. Thus, accrued interest income earlier booked for INR 7 crores should be reduced in the books as of 31 Mar 2010 only.

Provisions are recognised only when the entity has a present obligation to transfer economic benefits as a result of past events. In your case, premature withdrawl is purely a treasury department transaction and in no case it should be considered as an obligation of the company which requires provision in the books.

thanks

Premature withdrawal and subsequent loss on interest cant br taken as Event occuring after balance date as per AS 4 as it eas thr condition prevailing in the balance date.

I  agree with Sachin Sir
