Revenue Recognition in a Club / Member busines

1118 views 2 replies

I would like to have the views of professionals regarding how the revene is recognised in the club membership and other similar industry. For example a 10 years membership of club is offerred to the customer at Rs.500000. Out of this Rs.100000 is payable in advance and balance Rs.400000 is payable in 24 emis. On final payment the members would be entitled to use the services of club with the nominal payment of annual maintenance fees. My question is how the revenue is recognised in such type of setup and what accounting entry is passed at different stages.

Dear Saiyum

The revenue will be recogized as and when amount for membership fees becomes due as the same is receiveble as per the terms of contract

Following will be the accounting entry as per my opinion: (answer is according to your example)

when amount becomes receivable 

Party A/c Dr                                   (For booking the income)

   to Membership Fees A/c

Bank A/c Dr.                                 (when amount is received)

   to Party A/c

Above entry will be passed at all stages ie when amount of Rs 1 lac is received and at the end of each of the 24 months....

Thanks Anvesh

Will It be wrong if  following entry is passed

At the time of Admission of Members

Party A/c Debit  Rs.500000

    To Member ship Income  Rs.500000

At the time of receipt of Down Payment

Bank / CAsh Dr.  Rs.100000

   To Party A/c   Rs. 100000

At time of receipt of each EMI

Bank / CAsh  Dr.

   To Party A/c
