Agree with CA Maulik. Show Rs. 200,000/- in Capital WIP and after completion of work transfer Rs. 200,000/- along with payment of Rs. 100,000/- to Fixed Assets.

You have to debit Mobilisation advance a/c only when you pay advance.

Only after getting Running account of the work done duly certified, the same can be taken to WIP and when the work is fully completed the same may be transferred to Fixed asset a/c.

For transferring to Fixed asset a/c you need to get the Installation certificate, as from this date you have to calculate depreciation.

Thanks,
