Is the contract agreed for current financial year or does it apply or continue to the next financial year also. If for the current period, then the entries are as mentioned by Anand, if the contract last for the next year also, ie, after mar 31st 2013 too, then you may have to apportion the same across the period of contract. Till the period of contract exhausts, the respective portion of the amount needs to be treated as an Asset as prepaid expenses.
