Accouting for Donations in Kind

If its tax free...

Dr. Asset acc.

Thank you for the reply Sir. At what price would the asset be accounted in the books? Have doubt in value as the asset is received in donation. is it FMV or Re 1?

Asset is NOT received from the Government. We are a Non Profit Organization.

Need to consider FMV.  

When assets are received as donations, they are accounted for by recording them at their fair market value on the books of the organization. This involves recognizing the donated asset as an increase in assets and an equal increase in either revenue or a specific donation account. The fair market value of the donated asset is determined based on its current worth in the market.

Sir , where it is written FMV , any guidelines  ?. what  is the documentary  evidence  of  FMV for  Audit  Purpose ?.
