Quick Summary
This discussion focuses on the accounting for a new girls' hostel construction project. It covers journal entries for land purchase, contributions received, material payments, and ongoing expenses. The user is seeking guidance on how to record these transactions in Tally ERP 9, specifically under which account groups, and how to treat the asset once construction is complete, including depreciation.

Please pass entries of transactions occurring based on date. 

Land first

Contributions

Purchase of raw materials

Payables

and clearing payables.

once construction is over, it is an asset recognise or carrying amount of PPE increases. Remember the depreciation rule, an asset is depreciated from the first day it is put to use, similarly, PPE is recognised when it is fully constructed and ready to be put to use. All the best.
