    sir if we record grant as deffered income
    sir at repayment the double entry is
    if repayment at principal amount
    DR deffered income
    CR cash/bank account
    DR profit and loss
    sir the profit and loss is DR with the amount already recorded or amortized as income in P/L
    sir for example total grant is 100 and useful life is 5 yrs
    at end of 2nd year the grant is amortized 40 but if we repay grant now then double entry becomes
    DR deffered income 60
    DR profit and loss/income 40
    CR cash/bank 100
    sir is my concept is correct regarding this please help me

    In this post you have called me “sir” 5, (yes FIVE) times

    Please, it’s either “Mike” or nothing

    In addition, each and every one of your posts includes a grovelling plea at the end … “sir, please help me, please” or similar

    Syed, there is no need for this! Simply something like “Please could you explain the following?” would be totally sufficient

    Ok?

    Now, your question……. Yes, your thinking IS correct. Beware! If this 100 grant was received in respect of some TNCA, then the act of repayment will mean that we have been under-charging depreciation on that related asset and you will need to make an adjustment for that under-depreciation

    Ok?

    if grant is to be repaid at more then principal for example the grant is 100 and useful life of asset is 5 then after two year grant is 60 and 40 is amortized and recognised in profit and loss statement
    but now we have to repay grant at 120 then entries are
    DR deffered income 60
    DR profit and loss 60(40+20)20 is additional payment on repayment and treated as loss
    and recognised in P/L statement
    CR cash/bank/payable 120
    is my concept is correct
    mike as you previously said that we should understate depreciation
    this understatement is under cost of asset less grant method not in deffered method
    and what is double entry for this

    I’ve just answered the first part of this post on another one of yours.

    You’re correct about the undercharging of depreciation being applicable to the alternative treatment of government grants.

    “What is the double entry for this?” What’s “this”?

    no i asked different first example grant is repaid at principal now in this situation grant is repaid at 120 not at principal of 100 and i made double entry for this above and i am asking is this correct
    and secondly when we make adjustment to depreciation we made double entry
    DR depreciation expense
    CR accumulated depreciation
    is i am correct

    No! I answered the second one as well!

    Yes for the depreciation adjustment
