As per AS-7 Accounting for Construction contracts, when the PErcentage by completion method is bieng followed revenue should be recognized on the basis of Percentage of completion of contract to total cost of contract.

so in your case for 1st complex no revenue should be recognized. For 2nd stage 50% of the total cost of contract should be recognized as revenue & for teh 3rd stage 75% of the contract cost shold be recognized as revenue.

Income is not be recognized on the basis of advances received but on the basis of percentage of completion of work certified by the architect
