I have the following queries in the Accounting entries

Engaged in providing Architect services (rendering of professional sevices which involve man power only)

There is a an invoice/bill which worth Rs.10(lac) the terms of the contract are half of the payment will be issued during the year  and rest of the payment will be issued on approval of the Govt  in the later years , there arises a question of  booking the entire invoice during the current year or only part of the bill should be booked .

whether invoice should be raised for the whole value of contract or part of the contract

how the following invoice should be accounted

As per my opinion the entire invoice should be booked in the year in which the invoice raised. It does not make any difference with the contract of payment.

Yes whole amount of Invoice to be boooked....

is it corrrect  to raise invoice for the entire amount in the current year?

becoz payment of Advance Tax  and other things comes into picture, since it is a small firm i need to know exact treatment for the a bove.

You need to raise the invoice for the whole amount only....in the current year.. regarding the payment of tax you can pay before 31st march....

or else raise the invoice in the next year.. on 1/4/2010, but see that the payer also dont have any problem....

I agree with C.A. Shivang

Revenue in case of rendering of services is recognised under As 9

As per As 9 :

i) Revenue from services is generally recognised as the service is performed.

ii) And no significant uncertainties exist about the collection of amount of service charges.

As in your case the service is performed , i think revenue should be fully recognised but subject to reasonable certainty about the receipt of service charges. so on the basis of the past history about the approval of contract revenue should be booked accordingly.

U can raise the invoice  for the whole amount....

hi , i want to know the accounting entry for the following transaction...

my company taken a working capital and term loan from a pvt bank  in 2008 january, from  there interest is paying monthly upto december 08, after that the compnay went into financial crunch and unable to pay a single rupee to that bank. from there onward interest keeps accumulate.
