My supplier is providing me a fixed asset free of cost. I have a contract with the supplier for 3 years where in he will provide me with 3 Million worth of raw materials and a machine worth 2 million independent of the raw material. I can use that machine for any purpose I want.

I am planning to book that fixed asset as deferred revenue i.e. Fixed asset Dr and Deferred revenue Cr. and recognize revenue in 3 years over the period of contract validity. We follow IFRS. Is this treatment allowable under IFRS? If not what should I do?

Think about it again. Because deferred revenue is cash basis accounting only. Assets dont bring in real cash and no such transaction existed apart from sale of fixed asset.. but you can treat it as deferred credit in profit and loss and recognise the machine cost ie credit it and debit machinery.

Cr. Gain from promotions

You use deferred income in accounting for grants but here no cash transaction occured.
