Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how Suraj Limited should account for various government grants received, including machinery acquisition, plant setup, water supply projects, employee vaccinations, and performance awards. It explains the two primary methods under Accounting Standard 12 (AS 12): capitalizing the grant or treating it as income. The post clarifies that grants not refunded can be capitalised, with specific treatment for non-depreciable assets. It also touches upon the refund of grants due to non-compliance and the applicability of AS 12 based on company level.

As per AS 12 you can disclose Government grants in two way

1) You can capitalise
2) you can show as Income / revenue

So , when any Government grants are not refunded to Government can be capitalise , grants for non- depreciable asset should be shown as a Capital reserve in the balance sheet.
In case of income approch Government grants related to revenue credited to profit and losss account as other income
Refund of Government grants due to non fulfill ment of certain conditions , that also you have to disclose .
So can I purchase a machinery government grant to capitalize? first case

Yes, you can use the balance sheet method method 1. you have to recognise the asset at cost less grant amount and depreciate it. Method 2 is also there. Then from above, if it is a loan subsidy, the treatment is different.

Dear sir typically why the certain government grants are refunded what are the categories
Not fulfilling certain conditions led down by the GOVT .
Also you have to check, weather AS 12 applicable to your company or not , because Non Companies are divided into 4 level to whom accounting Standards are applicable , so if your company is in level one then all the accounting standards are applicable to that company , otherwise in level 2 to 4 certain exemption has been given .

I dont know the answer because I dont know the compliance and tax part.
