Hi,
AS per Accounting Standard-12,You can deduct subsidy received from the govt from the original value of the machinery and provide depreciation on the balance amount of the machinery.

There are two methods in As 12
1) Net method
2) Gross method
in Net Method the subsidy Value will be deducted from the Purchase amount of Machinery & charge depriciation on the remaining cost to the life of the machinery
Example :-
Machinery cost 100000 & 10 years life
Subsidy received 80000
MAcinery value in Books 100000 - 80000 i.e 20000
& charge depriciation of Rs. 2000 in P/L A/c every year
& in notes to a/c the fact that the machinery purchased on subsidy should be disclosed
In Gross method
The purchase cost of Machinery should be recorded in books
& depriciation will be charged on such Machinery to its life
Subsidy received will be shown under liabilities & to be amortised to the life of the asset proportionately.
Take the Same example
Depriciation in P/l will be 10000
& amortisation of subsidy will be credited in P/l will be 80000/10years
i.e 8000 will be credited in the name Amortisation of Subsidy
So in both method the net effect is same but the gross method is more logical than net method
Because in gross method the cost of machinery can be ascetained in future years but in net methos such thing is not possible
& also in gross method the matching principle is in compliance while in net method Matching principle has been ignored
Matching Principle means matching the revenue of the period with its cost so the actual profit can be ascertained
