Chapter 1 Accounting For Not-For-Profit Organisation Concepts, Solutions and Extra Q & A
Not-for-Profit Organisations (NPOs) are entities established for service and social welfare, not for generating profit. Their accounting aims to show proper utilisation of funds to members and society. NPOs prepare three key financial statements: the Receipt and Payment Account, which is a cash-basis summary of all cash/bank transactions, including capital and revenue items from all periods; the Income and Expenditure Account, an accrual-basis statement similar to a Profit & Loss Account that records only current-year revenue items to determine surplus or deficit; and the Balance Sheet, which depicts the financial position, featuring a 'Capital Fund' instead of owner's capital.
The preparation process involves converting the cash-based Receipt and Payment Account into the accrual-based Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet by making necessary adjustments. This includes accounting for non-cash items like depreciation and adjusting for outstanding and prepaid amounts. Special attention is given to peculiar items: subscriptions are calculated on an accrual basis, donations are classified as specific (capitalised) or general (revenue), and life membership fees are typically added directly to the Capital Fund. Special purpose funds, like a 'Tournament Fund', are treated separately on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet.
Meaning and Characteristics of Not-for-Profit Organisation
There are certain organisations established with the primary objective of providing services to their members and the public, rather than earning profits. These are known as Not-for-Profit Organisations (NPOs). Examples include clubs (sports clubs, social clubs), charitable institutions (hospitals, orphanages), schools, religious organisations (temples, mosques, churches), trade unions, and welfare societies. The fundamental purpose of these entities is to advance cultural, educational, religious, professional, or public service objectives.
Unlike commercial enterprises that are driven by a profit motive, the main goal of NPOs is to provide a service. While they may engage in activities that generate profit (e.g., a sports club selling refreshments), this profit is not distributed among its members but is used to further the organisation's primary service objectives. They are managed by trustees or a managing committee who are accountable to the members and society for the use of funds. To ensure this accountability and for legal compliance, NPOs must maintain proper books of accounts and prepare financial statements at the end of each accounting period (usually a financial year).
Financial Statements of NPOs
The final accounts or financial statements of an NPO are crucial for presenting a fair view of its financial performance and position to its members, donors, and statutory bodies. They typically consist of:
Receipt and Payment Account: This is a summary of the cash book, showing all cash and bank transactions that occurred during the year. It records all receipts and payments, regardless of whether they are capital or revenue in nature, or to which period they pertain.
Income and Expenditure Account: This account is the equivalent of a Profit and Loss Account in a commercial entity. It is prepared on an accrual basis and records only revenue incomes and revenue expenses for the current accounting period to determine the surplus (excess of income over expenditure) or deficit (excess of expenditure over income).
Balance Sheet: This statement reflects the financial position of the NPO on a particular date. It lists the assets and liabilities of the organisation. Instead of 'Capital', it has a 'Capital Fund' or 'General Fund'.
These statements help NPOs track their income and expenditure, manage their funds effectively, and comply with statutory requirements by submitting them to authorities like the Registrar of Societies.
Characteristics of Not-for-Profit Organisations
The main characteristics that distinguish NPOs from business entities are as follows:
Service Motive: The primary aim is to provide services to a specific group or the public at large, such as education, healthcare, recreation, sports, and promotion of art and culture. The services are often provided free of cost or at a nominal cost, as profit earning is not the objective.
Form: They are established as charitable trusts or societies. In India, they are typically registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, or as a Section 8 Company under the Companies Act, 2013. The individuals who contribute to such organisations are known as 'members'.
Management: Their affairs are usually managed by a democratically elected managing or executive committee, which operates according to the NPO's bylaws. These elected members are accountable to the general body of members for their actions.
Sources of Income: Since they don't have business operations as their main activity, their funding comes from various sources. The main sources of income include:
- Subscriptions from members
- Donations (which can be general or for a specific purpose)
- Legacies (amount received as per the will of a deceased person)
- Grant-in-aid from the government or other institutions
- Income from investments
Capital Fund: Instead of a 'Capital Account', NPOs maintain a Capital Fund (also called General Fund). This fund is composed of the accumulation of surpluses from previous years, life membership fees, legacies, and other specific capitalised receipts. It represents the total corpus of the organisation.
Surplus: The outcome of an NPO's activities is measured as a surplus or deficit. A surplus arises when income exceeds expenditure. This surplus is not distributed among the members as profit or dividends. Instead, it is added to the Capital Fund, thereby strengthening the organisation's ability to provide services in the future.
Reputation: The reputation or 'goodwill' of an NPO is not based on financial returns or customer satisfaction in a commercial sense. It is earned through its contributions to the welfare of society and the quality of services provided. A strong reputation helps in attracting more donations and grants.
Accounting Information: The financial statements of NPOs are meant for internal and external users. Present and potential members, donors, government agencies, and statutory bodies use this information to assess the financial health, performance, and stewardship of the management, ensuring that the funds have been utilised for the intended purposes.
Accounting Records of Not-for-Profit Organisations
Since NPOs are not typically involved in trading or manufacturing activities, they may not have credit transactions like credit sales or purchases. Most of their transactions are through cash or bank channels. Consequently, their accounting system is designed to effectively track and control these flows. Maintaining proper accounting records is not just good practice but often a legal requirement. A robust accounting system ensures proper control over the utilisation of funds and helps to minimise the chances of misappropriation or embezzlement of funds contributed by members, donors, and other stakeholders.
The primary books of account and records maintained by an NPO, especially one following the double-entry system, include:
Cash Book: This is a fundamental record where all cash receipts and cash payments are recorded chronologically. NPOs usually maintain a columnar cash book with separate columns for cash and bank transactions. The Cash Book serves as the primary source of data for preparing the Receipt and Payment Account.
Journal Proper: While most transactions are cash-based, a journal is necessary to record non-cash transactions. This includes opening entries, closing entries, depreciation on assets, profit or loss on the sale of assets, and adjustments for outstanding and prepaid items.
Ledger: This is the principal book of accounts where transactions are posted from the Cash Book and Journal. It contains individual accounts for all incomes (e.g., Subscriptions Account), expenses (e.g., Salaries Account), assets (e.g., Furniture Account), and liabilities (e.g., Creditors Account). The balances in these ledger accounts are used to prepare the Trial Balance and subsequently the final accounts.
Stock Register: This is a memorandum (supporting) record maintained to keep a detailed account of all assets and consumable items. It helps in exercising physical control over these items. For fixed assets, it tracks the date of purchase, cost, depreciation, and sale. For consumables (like stationery, sports materials, medicines), it tracks receipts, issues, and closing stock.
A key feature of NPO accounting is the absence of a 'Capital Account'. Instead, they maintain a Capital Fund (or General Fund). This fund represents the accumulated amount of surpluses, life membership fees, capitalised legacies, and other such capital receipts. It is essentially the equivalent of owner's equity in a business, representing the NPO's net worth.
Final Accounts or Financial Statements
Although NPOs are non-profit making entities and are not required to prepare a Trading and Profit & Loss Account, it is essential for them to ascertain whether the income generated during the year was sufficient to meet the expenses. Furthermore, they have a responsibility to provide necessary financial information to members, donors, contributors, and statutory authorities like the Registrar of Societies. For these purposes, they prepare final accounts at the end of the accounting period.
The general principles of accounting are fully applicable in their preparation. The final accounts of a ‘not-for-profit organisation’ consist of the following:
Receipt and Payment Account: This is simply a summary of the cash book over an entire accounting period, with receipts and payments classified under appropriate heads. It begins with the opening balance of cash and bank and ends with the closing balance. It does not differentiate between capital and revenue items and includes all cash transactions, whether they relate to the past, current, or future periods.
Income and Expenditure Account: This account is prepared on the accrual basis and is analogous to the Profit and Loss Account of a business. It matches the revenue incomes of the current period with the revenue expenses of the same period to determine the net operating result. This result is either a surplus (income > expenditure) or a deficit (expenditure > income), which is then transferred to the Capital Fund.
Balance Sheet: The Balance Sheet is a statement of financial position as at the end of the accounting year. It lists all assets on one side and all liabilities, including the Capital Fund and any other specific funds (like Building Fund, Prize Fund), on the other side. Its preparation confirms the arithmetical accuracy of the books of account.
If an NPO maintains a full double-entry accounting system, it will first prepare a Trial Balance to check the accuracy of the ledger accounts. The Trial Balance then facilitates the preparation of the Income and Expenditure Account and the Balance Sheet with greater ease and accuracy.
Receipt and Payment Account
The Receipt and Payment Account is a consolidated summary of the cash book, including bank transactions, prepared by Not-for-Profit Organisations at the end of an accounting period. It serves as a base for preparing the Income and Expenditure Account and the Balance Sheet.
All cash that has been received (receipts) is recorded on the Debit (Receipts) side, and all cash that has been paid out (payments) is recorded on the Credit (Payments) side. This account starts with the opening balance of cash and bank and ends with their closing balances.
A crucial feature of this account is that it records all cash transactions irrespective of whether they are of capital or revenue nature, and whether they pertain to the current, previous, or succeeding accounting periods. It strictly follows the cash basis of accounting and therefore, non-cash items like depreciation, outstanding expenses, or accrued income are completely ignored.
Format of Receipt and Payment Account
The general format of a Receipt and Payment Account is as follows:
Receipt and Payment Account for the year ending ......
| Receipts | Amount (₹) | Payments | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance b/d | Balance b/d (Bank Overdraft) | xxx | |
| Cash in Hand | xxx | Wages and Salaries | xxx |
| Cash at Bank | xxx | Rent, Rates and Taxes | xxx |
| Subscriptions (related to any year) | xxx | Insurance | xxx |
| General Donations | xxx | Printing and Stationery | xxx |
| Sale of Newspaper/Periodicals | xxx | Postage and courier | xxx |
| Sale of old sports materials | xxx | Advertisement | xxx |
| Interest on Fixed Deposits | xxx | Audit fees | xxx |
| Locker Rent | xxx | Honorarium | xxx |
| Proceeds from charity show | xxx | Upkeep of ground | xxx |
| Grant-in-aid (General) | xxx | Telephone Charges | xxx |
| Legacies (General) | xxx | Purchase of Assets (e.g., Furniture, Building) | xxx |
| Specific Donations (e.g., for Building) | xxx | Purchase of Investments (e.g., Fixed Deposit) | xxx |
| Life membership fees | xxx | Balance c/d | |
| Entrance fees | xxx | Cash in hand | xxx |
| Sale of Assets | xxx | Cash at Bank | xxx |
| Total | xxxxx | Total | xxxxx |
Salient Features
Nature: It is a summary of cash and bank transactions. It is a Real Account in nature. The rule followed is: Debit what comes in, and Credit what goes out.
Basis of Preparation: It is prepared on a cash basis. Only actual cash receipts and payments are recorded.
Period: It records total cash receipts and payments that occurred during the current year, irrespective of the period they pertain to (past, present, or future).
Capital and Revenue Items: It includes all receipts and payments, whether they are of capital nature (e.g., purchase of furniture, sale of building) or revenue nature (e.g., salaries paid, subscription received).
Non-Cash Items: Items that do not involve an inflow or outflow of cash, such as depreciation, outstanding expenses, accrued incomes, and profit/loss on sale of assets, are not recorded in this account.
Opening & Closing Balance: It always begins with the opening balance of cash in hand and cash at bank. The closing balance represents the cash in hand and cash at bank at the end of the year. A credit closing balance indicates a Bank Overdraft.
Purpose: Its main purpose is to show a summary of all cash transactions during the year and to ascertain the closing cash and bank balances.
Steps in the Preparation of Receipt and Payment Account
Take the opening balances of cash in hand and cash at bank and enter them on the debit (Receipts) side. In case of an opening bank overdraft, enter it on the credit (Payments) side.
Analyse the cash book and show the total amount of all receipts on the debit side, irrespective of their nature (capital or revenue) or the period to which they relate.
Similarly, show the total amount of all payments on its credit side, again, irrespective of their nature or the period.
Strictly exclude any non-cash items like depreciation or outstanding expenses, as no cash is transacted for these items during the period.
Calculate the difference between the total of the debit side and the total of the credit side (excluding the closing balances). This difference will be the closing balance of cash and bank. If the total of the Receipts side is more than the Payments side, the balancing figure is the closing balance of cash/bank. If the Payments side is greater, the balance represents a bank overdraft.

Receipt and Payment Account for the year ending as on December 31, 2017
| Receipts | Amount (₹) | Payments | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance b/d | Balance b/d (Bank Overdraft) | 3,500 | |
| Cash in hand | 1,500 | Salaries | 12,000 |
| Donations | 15,000 | Rent | 8,000 |
| Subscriptions | 22,000 | Purchase of Sports Equipment | 15,000 |
| Sale of old furniture | 3,700 | Purchase of 8% Govt. Bonds | 20,000 |
| Life Membership Fees | 10,000 | Honorarium to Coaches | 4,000 |
| Interest received on investments | 500 | Balance c/d (Cash at Bank) | (Bal. Fig.) 200 |
| 52,700 | 52,700 |
Important Notes:
The Opening Bank Overdraft is shown on the Payments (credit) side.
Subscriptions of ₹22,000 are shown in full, as the entire amount was received in cash during the year, regardless of the period it relates to.
For the sale of old furniture, only the cash received (₹3,700) is recorded on the receipts side. The book value (₹5,000) and the resulting loss (₹1,300) are non-cash items and hence ignored.
Depreciation on Sports Equipment (₹2,500) is a non-cash expense and is therefore excluded from the Receipt and Payment Account.
The closing balance is a positive bank balance because the total receipts (₹52,700) exceed the total payments (₹52,500 before balancing).
Income and Expenditure Account
The Income and Expenditure Account is a nominal account prepared by Not-for-Profit Organisations to ascertain the net result of their activities over an accounting period. It is analogous to the Profit and Loss Account prepared by for-profit business entities. Its primary purpose is to determine whether the organisation's current revenues were sufficient to cover its current operational expenses.
This account is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. This means it records all revenue incomes and revenue expenses pertaining to the current accounting year, regardless of whether the cash was actually received or paid during that year. The final balance of this account reveals either a Surplus (when income exceeds expenditure) or a Deficit (when expenditure exceeds income). This resulting surplus or deficit is then transferred to the Capital Fund in the Balance Sheet.
Accrual Basis and Matching Principle
The preparation of the Income and Expenditure Account strictly follows the accrual and matching principles of accounting. This involves:
Recognising Income: Only income that has been earned in the current year is recorded. This includes adjusting the total cash received for amounts pertaining to past or future years and adding any income that is earned but not yet received (accrued income).
Recognising Expense: Only expenses that have been incurred in the current year are recorded. This involves adjusting the total cash paid for amounts pertaining to past or future years and adding any expenses that are incurred but not yet paid (outstanding expenses).
Non-Cash Expenses: Expenses like depreciation on fixed assets, which do not involve an immediate cash outflow, are also charged to this account to reflect the true cost of operations for the period.
Format of Income and Expenditure Account
The standard format of an Income and Expenditure Account is presented below:
Name of the Organisation

| Expenditure | Amount (₹) | Income | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Total | xxxxx | Total | xxxxx |
Steps in the Preparation of Income and Expenditure Account
The following detailed steps should be followed to prepare an Income and Expenditure Account, usually from a given Receipt and Payment Account and additional information:
Scrutinise the Receipt and Payment Account: Begin with a thorough review of the Receipt and Payment Account.
Exclude Opening and Closing Balances: The opening and closing balances of cash and bank are not income or expenditure; they are assets. Therefore, they must be completely excluded.
Exclude Capital Items: Identify and exclude all capital receipts (e.g., specific donations, life membership fees, sale proceeds of fixed assets) and capital payments (e.g., purchase of fixed assets, investments). These items directly affect the Balance Sheet.
Analyse Revenue Receipts (Income Side):
- Take all revenue receipts (like subscriptions, general donations, locker rent) from the debit side of the Receipt and Payment Account to the credit (Income) side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
- Make adjustments to these amounts to ensure they relate only to the current year. For example, for subscriptions: ADD subscriptions outstanding for the current year and subscriptions received in advance during the previous year (for the current year). SUBTRACT subscriptions received for previous or future years and subscriptions outstanding from the previous year.
- Include any other accrued incomes (e.g., interest on investments earned but not received).
Analyse Revenue Payments (Expenditure Side):
- Take all revenue payments (like salaries, rent, printing & stationery) from the credit side of the Receipt and Payment Account to the debit (Expenditure) side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
- Make adjustments similar to incomes. For example, for salaries: ADD salaries outstanding for the current year. SUBTRACT salaries paid for the previous or next year.
- Consider other adjustments related to consumable items (e.g., Stationery consumed = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock).
Account for Non-Cash Items:
- Calculate and show depreciation on fixed assets on the expenditure side.
- Account for any gain or loss on the sale of a fixed asset. The loss is shown on the expenditure side, and the gain is on the income side. (Gain/Loss = Book Value - Sale Price).
Determine Surplus or Deficit: Finally, balance the account. If the total of the Income side is greater than the total of the Expenditure side, the difference is a 'Surplus'. If the Expenditure side is greater, the difference is a 'Deficit'.

Distinction between Income and Expenditure Account and Receipt and Payment Account
While the Receipt and Payment Account and the Income and Expenditure Account are two of the three principal financial statements prepared by a Not-for-Profit Organisation, they are fundamentally different in their purpose, nature, and the information they present. The Receipt and Payment Account provides a summary of cash transactions, whereas the Income and Expenditure Account shows the net operating result for the year. A clear understanding of their differences is essential for accurately interpreting the financial health and performance of an NPO.
The key distinctions between the two accounts are presented in the table below:
| Basis of Distinction | Income and Expenditure Account | Receipt and Payment Account |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Its purpose is to ascertain the net result of the organisation's activities for a period, i.e., Surplus or Deficit. | Its purpose is to show a summary of all cash and bank transactions during a period and the resulting closing cash/bank balance. |
| Nature of Account | It is a Nominal Account, similar to a Profit and Loss Account. Its rule is: Debit all expenses and losses; Credit all incomes and gains. | It is a Real Account, being a summary of the Cash Book. Its rule is: Debit what comes in (receipts); Credit what goes out (payments). |
| Basis of Accounting | It is prepared on the Accrual Basis. It recognizes incomes when earned and expenses when incurred. | It is prepared on the Cash Basis. It only records actual cash receipts and payments. |
| Nature of Items | It records only items of revenue nature. Capital items are strictly excluded. | It records all items, whether of capital or revenue nature. |
| Period | It includes incomes and expenses related only to the current accounting period. Adjustments are made for outstanding and prepaid items. | It includes all receipts and payments made during the current year, which may relate to the past, current, or future periods. |
| Sides of Account | The Debit side lists all expenses and losses. The Credit side lists all incomes and gains. | The Debit side lists all receipts (inflows of cash). The Credit side lists all payments (outflows of cash). |
| Non-Cash Items | It includes non-cash items such as depreciation on fixed assets, provisions, and profit/loss on the sale of assets. | It completely excludes all non-cash items, as it only tracks the movement of cash. |
| Opening Balance | This account does not have an opening balance. It starts fresh each year. | It always begins with an opening balance representing cash in hand and cash at bank (or bank overdraft). |
| Closing Balance | The closing balance of this account represents the Surplus (if income > expenditure) or Deficit (if expenditure > income). | The closing balance of this account represents the closing cash and bank balances (or bank overdraft) at the end of the year. |
| Balance Sheet Link | Its preparation is intrinsically linked to the Balance Sheet, as adjustments often require information from it, and its closing balance (Surplus/Deficit) is transferred to the Capital Fund in the Balance Sheet. | It can be prepared independently of the Balance Sheet. Its closing balance is simply carried forward to the Balance Sheet as an asset. |
Balance Sheet
The Balance Sheet is a crucial financial statement for Not-for-Profit Organisations that provides a snapshot of their financial position on a specific date, typically the last day of the accounting year. Prepared in the same format as for business entities, it lists assets on the right-hand side and liabilities on the left-hand side. The fundamental purpose of the Balance Sheet is to present a true and fair view of the organisation's assets, liabilities, and the accumulated funds, thereby demonstrating financial stewardship to its members, donors, and regulatory bodies.
Format of Balance Sheet
The Balance Sheet for a Not-for-Profit Organisation is prepared as follows:
Balance Sheet as at ......
| Liabilities | Amount (₹) | Assets | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capital Fund: | Fixed Assets: | ||
| Opening Balance | xxx | Furniture | xxx |
| Add: Surplus | xxx | Buildings | xxx |
| Add: Capitalised Items (Life Membership Fee, etc.) | xxx | Sports Equipment | xxx |
| xxx | Investments | xxx | |
| Special Funds: | Current Assets: | ||
| Tournament Fund | xxx | Accrued Incomes | xxx |
| Building Fund | xxx | Prepaid Expenses | xxx |
| Other Liabilities: | Stock of Consumables | xxx | |
| Creditors | xxx | Cash at Bank | xxx |
| Outstanding Expenses | xxx | Cash in Hand | xxx |
| Income Received in Advance | xxx | ||
| xxxxx | xxxxx |
Key Features of an NPO's Balance Sheet
While the structure is similar to that of a commercial entity, the terminology and composition of items reflect the unique nature of an NPO.
-
Capital Fund or General Fund: This is the most significant item on the liabilities side and is the equivalent of the 'Capital' account in a for-profit entity. It represents the accumulated surplus of the organisation over the years. The surplus or deficit from the current year's Income and Expenditure Account is directly added to or deducted from this fund.
-
Capitalised Items: Certain receipts of a capital or non-recurring nature are added directly to the Capital Fund, a process known as capitalisation. This is because these receipts are meant to provide long-term benefits to the organisation. Common examples include:
- Life Membership Fees
- Legacies (unless specified for a particular purpose)
- A portion of Entrance or Admission Fees (if the organisation's policy is to capitalise them)
-
Special Funds (Restricted Funds): NPOs often receive donations or create funds for a specific purpose (e.g., Building Fund, Sports Fund, Prize Fund). These are 'restricted' funds and must be shown separately on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet. Any income earned from the investments of such funds is added to the respective fund, and any expenses incurred for that specific purpose are deducted from it. These transactions do not pass through the Income and Expenditure Account unless the expenses exceed the fund balance, in which case the deficit is charged to the I&E Account.
Preparation of Opening Balance Sheet
Frequently, the opening balance of the Capital Fund is not explicitly provided. To determine this crucial figure, it becomes necessary to prepare a Balance Sheet as at the beginning of the year. This is done by listing all assets (e.g., opening cash/bank balance, opening stock of consumables, opening value of fixed assets, subscriptions outstanding at the beginning) and all liabilities (e.g., opening creditors, opening bank overdraft, subscriptions received in advance at the beginning) on that date. The difference between the total of assets and the total of liabilities represents the balancing figure, which is the Opening Capital Fund.
Capital Fund (Opening) = Total Assets (Opening) - Total Liabilities (Opening)
Steps in the Preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet
The following systematic procedure can be adopted to prepare the Balance Sheet at the end of the year:
-
Ascertain Opening Capital Fund: If not given, prepare an opening Balance Sheet to find the Capital Fund at the beginning of the year.
-
Adjust and Show the Capital Fund: Start with the Opening Capital Fund. Add the Surplus (or deduct the Deficit) from the current year's Income and Expenditure Account. Further, add all items to be capitalised, such as life membership fees, legacies, and entrance fees (as per policy).
-
Show Special Funds: Display all special-purpose funds on the liabilities side after making necessary adjustments for related incomes and expenses.
-
List Other Liabilities: Identify and list all outstanding liabilities as on the closing date, such as Creditors for supplies, Outstanding Expenses, and Income Received in Advance.
-
List all Assets:
- Show all Fixed Assets at their written-down value (Opening Balance + Purchases during the year – Book Value of Assets Sold – Depreciation for the year).
- Show Investments (Opening Balance + New Purchases – Investments Sold).
- Show all Current Assets like Closing Stock of Consumables (stationery, sports materials), Prepaid Expenses, and Accrued Incomes (e.g., subscriptions outstanding for the current year, accrued interest).
- Finally, show the Closing Balances of Cash in Hand and Cash at Bank as given at the end of the Receipt and Payment Account.
-
Tally the Balance Sheet: Ensure that the total of the Assets side is equal to the total of the Liabilities side.

Some Peculiar Items
The financial statements of Not-for-Profit Organisations include certain items that are unique to them or require special treatment compared to commercial entities. Understanding the nature and accounting treatment of these items is crucial for preparing accurate final accounts.
1. Subscriptions
Subscriptions are the membership fees paid by the members, usually on an annual basis. It is one of the main sources of revenue income for an NPO.
Accounting Treatment:
The Receipt and Payment Account shows the total amount of subscriptions actually received in cash during the year, regardless of the period to which it pertains (past, current, or future).
The Income and Expenditure Account shows only the amount of subscription that pertains to the current accounting year (on an accrual basis), whether received or not.
Calculation of Subscription Income for the Current Year
The amount of subscription to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account can be calculated using a statement format or a ledger account.
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Subscriptions received during the year (as per R&P Account) | xxx |
| Add: Subscription Outstanding at the end of the current year | xxx |
| Add: Subscription Received in Advance at the beginning of the current year | xxx |
| Less: Subscription Outstanding at the beginning of the current year | (xxx) |
| Less: Subscription Received in Advance at the end of the current year | (xxx) |
| Income from Subscriptions (for I&E Account) | xxx |
Alternatively, a Subscription Account (Ledger) can be prepared. The balancing figure in this account will represent the subscription income for the year.

Illustration 1. As per the Receipt and Payment Account for the year ended on March 31, 2021, the subscriptions received were ₹ 2,50,000. Additional information is given below:
(i) Subscriptions Outstanding on April 1, 2020: ₹ 50,000
(ii) Subscriptions Outstanding on March 31, 2021: ₹ 35,000
(iii) Subscriptions Received in Advance on April 1, 2020: ₹ 25,000
(iv) Subscriptions Received in Advance on March 31, 2021: ₹ 30,000
Ascertain the amount of income from subscriptions for the year 2020-21.
Answer:
Method 1: Using a Statement
Calculation of Income from Subscriptions for the year 2020-21
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Subscriptions received during the year 2020-21 | 2,50,000 |
| Add: Subscription Outstanding on March 31, 2021 | 35,000 |
| Add: Subscription Received in Advance on April 1, 2020 | 25,000 |
| Less: Subscription Outstanding on April 1, 2020 | (50,000) |
| Less: Subscription Received in Advance on March 31, 2021 | (30,000) |
| Income from Subscriptions (Credited to I&E Account) | 2,30,000 |
Method 2: Using a Ledger Account

| Total | 3,10,000 | Total | 3,10,000 |
Thus, the amount to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account for the year 2020-21 is ₹ 2,30,000.
Illustration 2. A sports club has 200 members, and each member pays an annual subscription of ₹ 1,500. The Receipt and Payment Account for the year ending March 31, 2021, shows a total receipt of ₹ 3,10,000 from subscriptions.
The following additional information is provided:
(i) Subscriptions Outstanding on April 1, 2020: ₹ 20,000
(ii) Subscriptions Received in Advance on March 31, 2021: ₹ 40,000
Calculate the following: (a) Amount of subscriptions received in advance on April 1, 2020, and (b) Amount of subscriptions outstanding on March 31, 2021. Also, show how these items would appear in the final accounts.
Answer:
1. Calculation of Subscription Income for the Year
The first step is to calculate the total subscription income that should be recognised for the current year on an accrual basis.
Total Income for the year = Number of members × Annual subscription per member
= 200 members × ₹ 1,500/member = ₹ 3,00,000
This is the amount that will be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.
2. Preparation of Subscription Account to find Missing Figures
We can now prepare the Subscription Account to find the missing values of 'Advance at beginning' and 'Outstanding at end'.
Subscription Account
Dr.Cr.
| Date | Particulars | J.F. | Amount (₹) | Date | Particulars | J.F. | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2020 | ||||||
| Apr 01 | To Balance b/d (Outstanding) | 20,000 | Apr 01 | By Balance b/d (Advance) (Bal. Fig. 1) | 50,000 | ||
| 2021 | 2021 | ||||||
| Mar 31 | To Income & Expenditure A/c (Calculated) | 3,00,000 | Mar 31 | By Bank A/c (Received) | 3,10,000 | ||
| Mar 31 | To Balance c/d (Advance) | 40,000 | Mar 31 | By Balance c/d (Outstanding) (Bal. Fig. 2) | 0 | ||
| Total | 3,60,000 | Total | 3,60,000 |
(a) Subscriptions Received in Advance on April 1, 2020 = ₹ 50,000 (Balancing figure on the credit side).
(b) Subscriptions Outstanding on March 31, 2021 = ₹ 0 (Balancing figure on the credit side).

2. Donations
A donation is a gift in cash or property received from a person or organisation. Its treatment depends on its nature:
Specific Donations: If the donation is received for a specified purpose (e.g., donation for building, donation for library), it is treated as a capital receipt. It is shown on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet and used only for the specified purpose. It is not credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.
General Donations: If the donation is received without any specific purpose, it is treated as a revenue receipt. It is shown on the income side of the Income and Expenditure Account. However, if the amount is very large and non-recurring, it might be capitalised as per the NPO's stated policy.
3. Legacies
A legacy is the amount received by an NPO as per the will of a deceased person. It is a non-recurring receipt.
As a general rule, legacies are treated as capital receipts and are added directly to the Capital Fund on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet.
However, if the amount is small or if the organisation has a policy of treating it as income, it may be shown in the Income and Expenditure Account.
4. Life Membership Fees
Some members pay a lump-sum amount as a fee for their entire life instead of periodic subscriptions. Since this is a non-recurring receipt that provides a long-term benefit, it is treated as a capital receipt and is added directly to the Capital Fund on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet.
5. Entrance Fees (or Admission Fees)
This is the fee paid by a person only once at the time of becoming a member of the organisation. There are two schools of thought for its treatment:
As Revenue Income: It can be treated as revenue income and shown on the income side of the I&E Account, as it is a regular feature for any growing organisation.
As Capital Receipt: Since it is a non-recurring payment from each member, it is often treated as a capital receipt and added directly to the Capital Fund.
Note: In an examination, a student should follow the specific instruction given in the question. If no instruction is given, it is advisable to treat it as a revenue receipt and provide a clear note. If the question specifies that a certain percentage is to be capitalised, that instruction must be followed precisely.
6. Special Funds (e.g., Match Fund, Prize Fund, Tournament Fund)
NPOs often create special funds for specific activities. The accounting treatment for these is as follows:
The fund is shown as a liability in the Balance Sheet.
All incomes related to the fund (e.g., donations for the fund, interest received on fund's investments, sale of tickets) are added to the fund balance on the liabilities side.
All expenses related to the fund (e.g., match expenses, prizes awarded) are deducted from the fund balance on the liabilities side.
Important: These incomes and expenses are not shown in the Income and Expenditure Account.
Exception: If the total expenses exceed the total available fund balance, the fund will have a negative (debit) balance. In this case, the negative amount (the excess expenditure) is transferred to the debit (expenditure) side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
Illustration. Show how you would deal with the following items in the financial statements of a Club:
Prize Fund: ₹ 80,000; Prize Fund Investments: ₹ 80,000; Income from Prize Fund Investments: ₹ 8,000; Prizes awarded: ₹ 6,000.
Answer:

| Add: Income from Investments8,000 | |||
| 88,000 | |||
| Less: Prizes Awarded(6,000) | 82,000 |
7. Consumable Items (Stationery, Sports Materials, Medicines)
The amount paid for consumables is a payment in the R&P Account. However, the amount to be shown as an expense in the I&E Account is the 'cost of material consumed' during the year.
Cost of Material Consumed = Opening Stock + Purchases during the year – Closing Stock
Sometimes, 'Purchases' must be calculated first if payments to creditors and opening/closing balances of creditors are given:
Credit Purchases = Amount paid to Creditors + Closing Creditors – Opening Creditors
Illustration. Calculate the amount of stationery to be debited to Income and Expenditure Account for the year 2014-15 from the following information:
Amount paid for stationery during 2014-15: ₹ 23,000. Stock of stationery on Apr 1, 2014: ₹ 4,000. Stock of stationery on Mar 31, 2015: ₹ 3,000. Creditors for stationery on Apr 1, 2014: ₹ 9,000. Creditors for stationery on Mar 31, 2015: ₹ 2,500.
Answer:
Calculation of Stationery Consumed
Working Note 1: Calculation of Credit Purchases of Stationery
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Amount paid for stationery during the year | 23,000 |
| Add: Creditors for stationery at the end (Mar 31, 2015) | 2,500 |
| Less: Creditors for stationery at the beginning (Apr 1, 2014) | (9,000) |
| Credit Purchases of Stationery during the year | 16,500 |
Working Note 2: Calculation of Stationery Consumed
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Opening Stock of Stationery (Apr 1, 2014) | 4,000 |
| Add: Credit Purchases during the year (from WN 1) | 16,500 |
| Cost of Stationery Available for Use | 20,500 |
| Less: Closing Stock of Stationery (Mar 31, 2015) | (3,000) |
| Stationery Consumed (to be debited to I&E A/c) | 17,500 |
Income and Expenditure Account based on Trial Balance
In some cases, especially when a Not-for-Profit Organisation maintains a complete double-entry accounting system, a Trial Balance might be provided instead of a Receipt and Payment Account. Preparing the final accounts from a Trial Balance is very similar to the process followed by for-profit entities.
The Trial Balance contains a list of all ledger account balances (debit and credit). The task is to classify these balances and post them to the correct financial statement: the Income and Expenditure Account and the Balance Sheet.
Procedure for Preparation
Segregate the Accounts: Go through each item in the Trial Balance and identify whether it belongs to the Income and Expenditure Account or the Balance Sheet.
- All items of revenue nature (incomes and expenses) are transferred to the Income and Expenditure Account. Expenses from the debit column of the Trial Balance go to the expenditure (debit) side, and incomes from the credit column go to the income (credit) side.
- All items representing assets, liabilities, and funds are transferred to the Balance Sheet. Assets from the debit column go to the assets side, and liabilities and funds from the credit column go to the liabilities side.
Incorporate Adjustments: Any additional information or adjustments provided outside the Trial Balance must be accounted for. Each adjustment will have a dual effect, impacting both the Income and Expenditure Account and the Balance Sheet. Common adjustments include:
- Outstanding/Prepaid Expenses
- Accrued/Unearned Incomes
- Depreciation on Fixed Assets
- Provision for Doubtful Debts
- Closing Stock of Consumables
- Gain or Loss on Sale of an Asset
Calculate Surplus or Deficit: After transferring all relevant items and adjustments to the Income and Expenditure Account, find the balancing figure. The balance will be either a Surplus (Income > Expenditure) or a Deficit (Expenditure > Income).
Prepare the Balance Sheet: Transfer the Surplus or Deficit to the Capital/General Fund on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet. Complete the Balance Sheet by posting all assets and liabilities from the Trial Balance along with the effects of the adjustments. The Balance Sheet must tally.
Illustration. From the trial balance and other information given below for a school, prepare Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended on March 31, 2017 and a Balance Sheet as on that date:

Additional Information:
(i) Tuition fee yet to be received for the year are ₹ 25,000.
(ii) Salaries yet to be paid amount to ₹ 30,000.
(iii) Furniture costing ₹ 50,000 was sold on April 1, 2016 for ₹ 20,000.

Question. State with reasons whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE:
(i) Receipt and Payment Account is a summary of all capital receipts and payments.
(ii) If there appears a sports fund, the expenses incurred on sports activities will be shown on the debit side of Income and Expenditure Account.
(iii) The balancing figure on credit side of Income and Expenditure Account denotes excess of expenses over incomes.
(iv) Scholarships granted to students out of funds provided by government will be debited to Income and Expenditure Account.
(v) Receipt and Payment Account records the receipts and payments of revenue nature only.
(vi) Donations for specific purposes are always capitalized.
(vii) Opening balance sheet is prepared when the opening balance of capital fund is not given.
(viii) Surplus of Income and Expenditure Account is deducted from the capital/ general fund.
(ix) Receipt and Payment Account is equivalent to profit and loss account.
(x) Receipt and Payment Account does not differentiate between capital and revenue receipts.
Answer:
(i) FALSE.
Reason: The Receipt and Payment Account is a summary of the cash book. It records all cash and bank receipts and payments, including both capital and revenue items, that occurred during the accounting period.
(ii) FALSE.
Reason: A 'Sports Fund' is a specific fund created for a particular purpose. Expenses related to sports activities are treated as a specific application of this fund. Therefore, such expenses are deducted from the Sports Fund on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet, not shown in the Income and Expenditure Account.
(iii) TRUE.
Reason: The Income and Expenditure Account is a nominal account where expenses are debited and incomes are credited. If the total expenses (debit side) are more than the total incomes (credit side), the balancing figure, known as 'Deficit' (excess of expenditure over income), is placed on the credit side to make the two sides equal.
(iv) FALSE.
Reason: When funds are provided by the government for a specific purpose like granting scholarships, a separate fund account is maintained. Scholarships paid are treated as an application of this specific fund and are deducted from the 'Scholarship Fund' on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet.
(v) FALSE.
Reason: The Receipt and Payment Account summarises all cash transactions without making any distinction between capital and revenue items. It includes receipts of both revenue nature (like subscriptions) and capital nature (like sale of fixed assets).
(vi) TRUE.
Reason: Donations received for a specific purpose (e.g., donation for building construction) are not treated as revenue income for the period. They are considered a liability for the organisation to be used only for the specified purpose and are therefore credited to a separate fund account or shown on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet. This treatment is referred to as capitalization.
(vii) TRUE.
Reason: An Opening Balance Sheet is prepared at the beginning of the year to ascertain the opening balance of the Capital Fund. This is done by listing all opening assets and liabilities, and the balancing figure (Assets - Liabilities) represents the Capital Fund.
(viii) FALSE.
Reason: Surplus represents the excess of income over expenditure, which increases the net worth of the organisation. Therefore, the surplus is added to the Capital/General Fund in the Balance Sheet. A deficit is deducted.
(ix) FALSE.
Reason: The Receipt and Payment Account is a summary of the cash book (real account), while the Profit and Loss Account (or Income and Expenditure Account) is a nominal account prepared on an accrual basis. The Income and Expenditure Account is the equivalent of the Profit and Loss Account for a Not-for-Profit Organisation.
(x) TRUE.
Reason: The sole purpose of the Receipt and Payment Account is to present a summary of all cash inflows and outflows during a period. It lists all receipts and payments irrespective of whether they are of a capital or revenue nature.

Question 1. Subscriptions received by the health club during the year 2015 were as under:
2014
2015
2016
₹ 3,000
₹ 96,000
₹ 2,000
₹ 1,01,000
Subscriptions Outstanding as on 31.12.14 ₹ 5,000
Subscriptions Outstanding as on 31.12.15 ₹ 12,000
Subscriptions received in advance in 2014 for 2015 ₹ 5,000
Calculate the amount of subscriptions to be shown on the income side of Income and Expenditure A/c.
Answer:
To determine the amount of subscriptions to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account for the year 2015, we need to calculate the subscription income that pertains only to the current year, based on the accrual principle.
Calculation of Subscription Income for 2015
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Subscriptions received during the year 2015 | 1,01,000 |
| Add: Subscription Outstanding at the end of 2015 | 12,000 |
| Add: Subscription Received in Advance at the beginning of 2015 (for 2015) | 5,000 |
| Less: Subscription Outstanding at the beginning of 2015 (for 2014) | (5,000) |
| Less: Subscription Received in Advance at the end of 2015 (for 2016) | (2,000) |
| Income from Subscriptions (for I&E Account) | 1,11,000 |
Alternate Method (Logical Calculation)
This method focuses on calculating the total income earned for the year 2015, regardless of when it was received.
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Subscriptions received for the year 2015 (as given) | 96,000 |
| Add: Subscriptions for 2015, received in advance during 2014 | 5,000 |
| Add: Subscriptions for 2015, still outstanding at the end of 2015 | 12,000 |
| Total Income from Subscriptions for 2015 | 1,13,000 |
Thus, the amount of subscriptions to be shown on the income side of the Income and Expenditure Account for the year 2015 is $\textsf{₹ } \ 1,11,000$.
Question 2. During the year 2015, subscriptions received by a sports club were ₹ 80,000. These included ₹ 3,000 for the year 2014 and ₹ 6,000 for the year 2016. On March 31, 2016 the amount of subscriptions due but not received was ₹ 12,000. Calculate the amount of subscriptions to be shown in Income and Expenditure Account as income from subscription.
Answer:
Note: It is assumed that the accounting year is the calendar year 2015 and the date "March 31, 2016" is a typographical error for "December 31, 2015".
We need to calculate the subscription income related to the year 2015 only.
Calculation of Subscription Income for 2015
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Total Subscriptions received during the year 2015 | 80,000 |
| Less: Subscriptions received for the previous year (2014) | (3,000) |
| Less: Subscriptions received for the next year (2016) | (6,000) |
| Subscriptions received for the current year (2015) | 71,000 |
| Add: Subscriptions for 2015, outstanding at the end of the year | 12,000 |
| Income from Subscriptions (for I&E Account) | 83,000 |
Therefore, the amount of subscriptions to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account for the year 2015 is $\textsf{₹ } \ 83,000$.
Question 3. Subscriptions received during the year ended December 31, 2015 by Royal Club were as under:
2014
2015
2016
₹ 3,000
₹ 93,000
₹ 2,000
₹ 98,000
The club has 500 members each paying @ ₹ 200 as annual subscription. Subscriptions outstanding as on March 31, 2016 are ₹ 6,000. Calculate the amount of subscriptions to be shown as income in the Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended March 31, 2016 and show the relevant data in the Balance Sheet as on date.
Answer:
Note: There are inconsistencies in the dates provided in the question. It mentions "year ended December 31, 2015" and also "March 31, 2016". We will assume the accounting period is the calendar year ending on December 31, 2015, and will treat the dates accordingly.
1. Calculation for Income and Expenditure Account
When the total number of members and the annual subscription fee are given, the most accurate way to calculate the subscription income for the year is by multiplying these two figures.
$\text{Total Subscription Income for 2015} = \text{Number of Members} \ \times \ \text{Annual Subscription Fee}$
$\text{Total Subscription Income for 2015} = 500 \ \text{members} \ \times \ \textsf{₹ } \ 200 \ \text{per member}$
Total Subscription Income for 2015 = $\textsf{₹ } \ 1,00,000$
This is the amount that will be shown on the income side of the Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended December 31, 2015.
2. Presentation in the Balance Sheet
The relevant data will be shown in the Balance Sheet as on December 31, 2015 as follows:
Balance Sheet (Extract) as at December 31, 2015
| Liabilities | Amount (Rs.) | Assets | Amount (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subscriptions Received in Advance (for 2016) | 2,000 | Subscriptions Outstanding | 6,000 |
Explanation:
Subscriptions Outstanding ($\textsf{₹ } \ 6,000$): This is an income that has been earned but not yet received, hence it is an asset for the club.
Subscriptions Received in Advance ($\textsf{₹ } \ 2,000$): This is an income received for the next year (2016). Since the service has not yet been provided, it is a liability for the club.

2. Table Tennis match expenses ₹ 4,000.
3. Prize Fund ₹ 22,000. Interest on Prize fund Investments ₹ 3,000. Prizes given ₹ 5,000. Prize fund Investments ₹ 18,000.
4. Receipts from Charity Show ₹ 7,000. Expenses on Charity Show ₹ 3,000.
Answer:
1. Treatment of Tournament Fund
A Tournament Fund is a specific fund, which means all incomes and expenses related to the tournament must be adjusted within this fund itself. They will not be recorded in the Income and Expenditure Account. The net balance of the fund will be shown on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet.
Calculation:
Opening Balance of Tournament Fund = $\textsf{₹ } \ 40,000$
Add: Receipts from Tournament = $\textsf{₹ } \ 16,000$
Less: Tournament Expenses = $(\textsf{₹ } \ 14,000)$
Closing Balance of Tournament Fund = $\textsf{₹ } \ 42,000$
Balance Sheet (Extract)
| Liabilities | Amount (Rs.) | Assets | Amount (Rs.) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tournament Fund | ||||
| Opening Balance | 40,000 | |||
| Add: Receipts from Tournament | 16,000 | |||
| 56,000 | ||||
| Less: Tournament Expenses | (14,000) | 42,000 |
2. Treatment of Table Tennis Match Expenses
Since no specific 'Match Fund' or 'Table Tennis Fund' is mentioned, these expenses are considered to be of a revenue nature. Therefore, they will be shown on the expenditure (debit) side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
Income and Expenditure Account (Extract)
| Expenditure | Amount (₹) | Income | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| To Table Tennis Match Expenses | 4,000 |
3. Treatment of Prize Fund
The Prize Fund is a specific fund. All related incomes (like interest on prize fund investments) and expenses (prizes given) will be adjusted within this fund on the Liabilities side. The Prize Fund Investments are an asset and will be shown on the Assets side of the Balance Sheet.
Balance Sheet (Extract)
| Liabilities | Amount (Rs.) | Assets | Amount (Rs.) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prize Fund | Prize Fund Investments | 18,000 | ||
| Opening Balance | 22,000 | |||
| Add: Interest on Investments | 3,000 | |||
| 25,000 | ||||
| Less: Prizes Given | (5,000) | 20,000 |
4. Treatment of Charity Show Receipts and Expenses
The receipts and expenses related to a specific event like a 'Charity Show' are of a revenue nature. The net result (income or loss) from the show is shown in the Income and Expenditure Account. It is common practice to show the net amount.
Net Income from Charity Show = Receipts - Expenses
Net Income = $\textsf{₹ } \ 7,000 - \textsf{₹ } \ 3,000 = \textsf{₹ } \ 4,000$
This net income will be shown on the income (credit) side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
Income and Expenditure Account (Extract)
| Expenditure | Amount (₹) | Income | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| By Net Income from Charity Show | 4,000 |

Question 1. Find out the cost of medicines consumed during 2014-15 from the following information:
| Details | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Payment for purchase of medicines | 3,70,000 |
| Creditors for medicines purchased: | |
| On 1.4.2014 | 25,000 |
| On 31.3.2015 | 17,000 |
| Stock of Medicines: | |
| On 1.4.2014 | 62,000 |
| On 31.3.2015 | 54,000 |
| Advance to suppliers of medicines: | |
| On 1.4.2014 | 11,500 |
| On 31.3.2015 | 18,200 |
Answer:
The amount of medicines consumed during the year is an expenditure and will be shown on the debit side of the Income and Expenditure Account. The calculation involves two steps:
1. Find out the total credit purchases of medicines during the year.
2. Use the purchases figure to calculate the value of medicines consumed.
Step 1: Calculation of Credit Purchases of Medicines during 2014-15
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Payment made for medicines during the year | 3,70,000 |
| Add: Creditors at the end of the year (31.3.2015) | 17,000 |
| Add: Advance paid at the beginning of the year (1.4.2014) | 11,500 |
| Less: Creditors at the beginning of the year (1.4.2014) | (25,000) |
| Less: Advance paid at the end of the year (31.3.2015) | (18,200) |
| Credit Purchases of Medicines (during the year) | 3,55,300 |
Step 2: Calculation of Cost of Medicines Consumed
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Opening Stock of Medicines (on 1.4.2014) | 62,000 |
| Add: Credit Purchases of Medicines (as calculated above) | 3,55,300 |
| Cost of Medicines Available for Use | 4,17,300 |
| Less: Closing Stock of Medicines (on 31.3.2015) | (54,000) |
| Cost of Medicines Consumed (to be debited to I&E A/c) | 3,63,300 |
Therefore, the cost of medicines consumed during the year 2014-15 is $\textsf{₹ } \ 3,63,300$.
Question 2. What amount of sports material will be posted to Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended March 31, 2016 as expenditure? :
| Amount (₹) | |
|---|---|
| Stock of sports materials as on April 1, 2015 | 7,500 |
| Creditors for sports material as on April 1, 2015 | 2,000 |
| Stock of sports material as on March 31, 2016 | 6,200 |
| Amount paid for sports material during the year 2015-16 | 17,000 |
| Advance paid for sports material as on March 31, 2016 | 3,500 |
| Creditors for sports material as on March 31, 2016 | 1,200 |
Answer:
Note: The date in the first row is assumed to be April 1, 2015, to match the accounting period 2015-16. It is also assumed that there was no advance paid for sports material at the beginning of the year as it is not given.
The calculation to find the cost of sports material consumed (expenditure) for the year involves two steps: first, determining the credit purchases for the year, and second, calculating the consumption.
Step 1: Calculation of Credit Purchases of Sports Material during 2015-16
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Amount paid for sports material during the year | 17,000 |
| Add: Creditors at the end of the year (31.3.2016) | 1,200 |
| Less: Creditors at the beginning of the year (1.4.2015) | (2,000) |
| Less: Advance paid at the end of the year (31.3.2016) | (3,500) |
| Credit Purchases of Sports Material | 12,700 |
Step 2: Calculation of Sports Material Consumed
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Opening Stock of Sports Material (on 1.4.2015) | 7,500 |
| Add: Credit Purchases of Sports Material (as calculated above) | 12,700 |
| Cost of Sports Material Available for Use | 20,200 |
| Less: Closing Stock of Sports Material (on 31.3.2016) | (6,200) |
| Sports Material Consumed (Expenditure for I&E A/c) | 14,000 |
The amount of sports material to be posted as expenditure to the Income and Expenditure Account is $\textsf{₹ } \ 14,000$.
Short Answers
Question 1. What is meant by ‘Not- for- Profit’ Organisations?
Answer:
Not-for-Profit Organisations (NPOs) are entities that are established for purposes other than earning profits. Their primary objective is to provide services to society or to their members, and to promote art, culture, education, sports, or charitable activities.
Key characteristics of NPOs include:
Primary Motive: Their main aim is to provide a service, not to earn a profit.
Source of Funds: They raise funds through subscriptions from members, donations, government grants, and legacies.
Surplus Distribution: Any surplus (excess of income over expenditure) generated is not distributed among the members but is used to further the objectives of the organisation.
Management: They are typically managed by a committee of elected members.
Financial Statements: Instead of a Profit and Loss Account, they prepare an Income and Expenditure Account to ascertain the surplus or deficit for the year. They also prepare a Receipt and Payment Account and a Balance Sheet.
Examples in the Indian context include public hospitals, schools, colleges, literary societies, sports clubs, and charitable trusts like the Red Cross Society.
Question 2. State the meaning of Receipt and Payment Account.
Answer:
A Receipt and Payment Account is a summarised statement of all cash and bank transactions of a Not-for-Profit Organisation during an accounting period. It is essentially a summary of the cash book, prepared at the end of the year.
Its main purpose is to present all cash inflows (receipts) on the debit side and all cash outflows (payments) on the credit side. It begins with the opening balance of cash and bank and ends with the closing balance of cash and bank.
This account is prepared on a cash basis and does not distinguish between items of a capital or revenue nature. It records all cash transactions, whether they relate to the current, previous, or succeeding accounting periods.
Question 3. State the meaning of Income and Expenditure Account.
Answer:
An Income and Expenditure Account is a nominal account prepared by Not-for-Profit Organisations to ascertain the results of their operations for an accounting period. It is the equivalent of a Profit and Loss Account prepared by for-profit business entities.
It is prepared on an accrual basis and records only revenue incomes and revenue expenses pertaining to the current accounting period. All expenses and losses are recorded on the debit (Expenditure) side, and all incomes and gains are recorded on the credit (Income) side.
The balancing figure of this account represents either a Surplus (if income exceeds expenditure) or a Deficit (if expenditure exceeds income). The surplus or deficit is then transferred to the Capital Fund in the Balance Sheet.
Question 4. State the feature of Receipt and Payment Account.
Answer:
The main features of a Receipt and Payment Account are as follows:
Nature of Account: It is a Real Account in nature, representing a summary of cash and bank transactions.
Basis of Accounting: It is prepared on a cash basis. It only records transactions when cash is actually received or paid, ignoring accrued incomes and outstanding expenses.
Opening and Closing Balances: It begins with the opening balance of cash in hand and cash at bank, and it closes with the ending balance of cash in hand and cash at bank (or bank overdraft).
Capital and Revenue Items: It does not differentiate between capital and revenue items. All receipts and payments, regardless of their nature, are recorded.
Period: It includes all cash transactions that occurred during the year, whether they relate to the current, previous, or next accounting period.
Non-Cash Items: Non-cash items like depreciation, provision for doubtful debts, etc., are completely excluded from this account.
Question 5. What steps are taken to prepare Income and Expenditure Account from a Receipt and Payment Account?
Answer:
The following steps are taken to prepare an Income and Expenditure Account from a given Receipt and Payment Account and additional information:
Exclude Opening and Closing Balances: The opening and closing balances of cash and bank from the Receipt and Payment Account are ignored as they are not incomes or expenses.
Exclude Capital Items: All receipts and payments of a capital nature are excluded. For example, sale of fixed assets, purchase of investments, life membership fees, and specific donations are not taken to the Income and Expenditure Account.
Consider Revenue Items Only: Only items of a revenue nature from the Receipt and Payment Account are considered. Revenue receipts are taken to the income (credit) side and revenue payments are taken to the expenditure (debit) side.
Apply Accrual Concept: Adjustments for the current period are made to the revenue items. This includes:
Adding outstanding expenses and accrued incomes for the current year.
Deducting prepaid expenses and income received in advance for the current year.
Adjusting for incomes and expenses related to the previous or next year that were included in the cash transactions.
Include Non-Cash Items: Non-cash expenses pertaining to the current year, such as depreciation on fixed assets, provision for doubtful debts, or loss on sale of assets, are recorded on the expenditure side.
Balance the Account: The account is then balanced. If the credit side (Income) is greater than the debit side (Expenditure), the difference is a Surplus. If the debit side is greater, the difference is a Deficit.
Question 6. What is subscription? How is it calculated?
Answer:
A Subscription is a recurring fee paid by the members of a Not-for-Profit Organisation to maintain their membership. It is typically paid on an annual basis and is one of the main sources of revenue income for such organisations.
Calculation of Subscription Income for the Current Year:
The amount of subscription to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account is calculated on an accrual basis. This means we must determine the total subscription income that was earned during the current year, irrespective of whether it was actually received in cash. The calculation is as follows:
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Subscriptions received during the year (as per R&P Account) | xxx |
| Add: Subscription Outstanding at the end of the current year | xxx |
| Add: Subscription Received in Advance at the beginning of the current year | xxx |
| Less: Subscription Outstanding at the beginning of the current year | (xxx) |
| Less: Subscription Received in Advance at the end of the current year | (xxx) |
| Income from Subscriptions (for I&E Account) | xxx |
Question 7. What is meant by Capital Fund? How is it calculated?
Answer:
A Capital Fund, also known as a General Fund, represents the accumulated surplus of a Not-for-Profit Organisation. It is the equivalent of the Capital Account in a for-profit business entity. It signifies the excess of the organisation's assets over its external liabilities.
Calculation of Capital Fund:
The Capital Fund is typically calculated in two stages:
1. Ascertaining the Opening Capital Fund: If the opening balance of the Capital Fund is not given, it is found by preparing an Opening Balance Sheet at the beginning of the accounting period. All assets at the beginning of the year are listed on the Assets side and all external liabilities at the beginning of the year are listed on the Liabilities side. The balancing figure is the Opening Capital Fund.
The formula is:
$\text{Opening Capital Fund} = \text{Total Assets at the beginning} \ - \ \text{Total Liabilities at the beginning}$
2. Ascertaining the Closing Capital Fund: The closing balance of the Capital Fund, which is shown in the year-end Balance Sheet, is calculated as follows:
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Opening Capital Fund (as calculated above) | xxx |
| Add: Surplus from the Income and Expenditure Account | xxx |
| Add: Capitalised items during the year (e.g., Life Membership Fees, Legacies) | xxx |
| Less: Deficit from the Income and Expenditure Account | (xxx) |
| Closing Capital Fund (shown in Balance Sheet) | xxx |
Long Answers
Question 1. Explain the statement: “Receipt and Payment Account is a summarised version of Cash Book”.
Answer:
The statement “Receipt and Payment Account is a summarised version of Cash Book” is accurate. Both documents deal with cash and bank transactions, but they differ in their scope, timing, and level of detail. The relationship can be explained through their similarities and differences.
Similarities:
Basis of Accounting: Both are prepared on a cash basis, meaning they record transactions only when cash is actually received or paid.
Nature of Items: Both record all cash transactions, whether they are of a capital or revenue nature. Neither account distinguishes between the two.
Structure: Both have a debit side for receipts (inflows) and a credit side for payments (outflows).
Opening and Closing Balances: Both start with an opening balance of cash and bank and end with a closing balance.
How the Receipt and Payment Account is a "Summarised Version":
The key difference lies in the level of detail and the timing of preparation, which makes the Receipt and Payment Account a summary of the Cash Book.
Level of Detail: The Cash Book is a book of original entry that records each transaction chronologically and individually as it occurs. For example, if subscriptions are received from 500 members on different dates, the Cash Book will have 500 separate entries. The Receipt and Payment Account, on the other hand, shows the total amount for each type of receipt or payment for the entire accounting period. It would show a single figure for 'Subscriptions' representing the total of all 500 individual receipts.
Periodicity: The Cash Book is maintained on a daily basis throughout the year. The Receipt and Payment Account is prepared only at the end of the accounting year as part of the final accounts.
Ledger Folio: The Cash Book contains a Ledger Folio (L.F.) column for cross-referencing, whereas the Receipt and Payment Account does not.
In conclusion, the Receipt and Payment Account is prepared by taking the totals of various receipts and payments from the Cash Book for the entire year and presenting them under appropriate headings. It does not show the date-wise details of transactions but provides a consolidated picture, thus rightly being called a "summarised version of the Cash Book".
Question 2. “Income and Expenditure Account of a Not-for-Profit Organisation is akin to Profit and Loss Account of a business concern”. Explain the statement.
Answer:
The statement, "Income and Expenditure Account of a Not-for-Profit Organisation is akin to Profit and Loss Account of a business concern," is correct. While their ultimate objectives differ (service vs. profit), the accounting principles and structure used to prepare these two statements are fundamentally the same. They both serve the purpose of assessing the financial performance of an entity over an accounting period.
The similarities that justify this statement are as follows:
Nature of Account: Both the Income and Expenditure Account and the Profit and Loss Account are Nominal Accounts. They follow the rule: "Debit all expenses and losses; Credit all incomes and gains."
Basis of Accounting: Both are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. This means they record incomes when they are earned and expenses when they are incurred, regardless of whether cash has been received or paid.
Nature of Items Recorded: Both accounts record only items of a revenue nature. Capital receipts and capital expenditures are excluded from both and are shown directly in the Balance Sheet.
Period Coverage: Both accounts are prepared for a specific accounting period and include only those incomes and expenses that pertain to the current year.
Adjustments: The preparation of both accounts involves making adjustments for items like depreciation, outstanding expenses, prepaid expenses, accrued incomes, etc.
Outcome: The final balancing figure of the Profit and Loss Account is either Net Profit or Net Loss, which is transferred to the Capital Account. Similarly, the balancing figure of the Income and Expenditure Account is either Surplus (akin to Net Profit) or Deficit (akin to Net Loss), which is transferred to the Capital Fund.
The only significant difference is the terminology used for the outcome ('Surplus/Deficit' instead of 'Profit/Loss'), which reflects the service-oriented motive of an NPO as opposed to the profit-oriented motive of a business. Therefore, in principle and practice, the Income and Expenditure Account is indeed the NPO's equivalent of a Profit and Loss Account.
Question 3. Distinguish between Receipts and Payments Account and Income and Expenditure Account.
Answer:
The following are the key differences between a Receipt and Payment Account and an Income and Expenditure Account:

Question 4. Explain the basic features of Income and Expenditure Account and of Receipt and Payment Account.
Answer:
Basic Features of Receipt and Payment Account
The Receipt and Payment Account is a summary of cash and bank transactions for a Not-for-Profit Organisation. Its main features are:
Nature: It is a Real Account, essentially a summarised cash book.
Basis: It is prepared on a cash basis. It records transactions only when cash is actually received or paid.
Content: It includes all receipts (on the debit side) and all payments (on the credit side), regardless of whether they are of a capital or revenue nature.
Period: It records cash transactions that occurred during the year, even if they relate to previous or subsequent years (e.g., subscriptions received for last year).
Balances: It starts with the opening balance of cash and bank and concludes with the closing balance of cash and bank (or bank overdraft).
Exclusions: It does not include any non-cash items like depreciation, outstanding expenses, or accrued income.
Basic Features of Income and Expenditure Account
The Income and Expenditure Account is prepared to ascertain the surplus or deficit of an NPO for a specific period. Its main features are:
Nature: It is a Nominal Account, similar in nature to a Profit and Loss Account.
Basis: It is prepared on an accrual basis. Incomes are recognised when earned and expenses are recognised when incurred, not when cash is transacted.
Content: It includes only revenue items. All revenue expenses are shown on the debit (Expenditure) side, and all revenue incomes are shown on the credit (Income) side.
Period: It records only those incomes and expenses that pertain to the current accounting period.
Balances: It does not have an opening balance. Its closing balance is termed as either a 'Surplus' (excess of income over expenditure) or a 'Deficit' (excess of expenditure over income).
Inclusions: It includes necessary adjustments and non-cash items like depreciation, provisions, etc., to reflect the true financial performance of the period.
Question 5. Show the treatment of the following items by a not-for-profit organisation:
(i) Annual subscription
(ii) Specific donation
(iii) Sale of fixed assets
(iv) Sale of old periodicals
(v) Sale of sports materials
(vi) Life membership fee
Answer:
(i) Annual Subscription:
This is a recurring revenue receipt and the main source of income for an NPO. The amount of subscription income related to the current year (calculated on an accrual basis) is shown on the credit (income) side of the Income and Expenditure Account. Subscriptions outstanding are shown as an Asset, and subscriptions received in advance are shown as a Liability in the Balance Sheet.
(ii) Specific Donation:
This is a donation received for a specific purpose (e.g., Donation for Building). It is a capital receipt and cannot be used for general purposes. It is not credited to the Income and Expenditure Account. Instead, it is shown on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet, either as a separate fund or added to the Capital Fund.
(iii) Sale of Fixed Assets:
The amount received from the sale is a capital receipt and is recorded on the debit side of the Receipt and Payment Account. For the Income and Expenditure Account, only the profit or loss on the sale is recorded. Profit (Sale Value > Book Value) is credited to the I&E Account, while Loss (Sale Value < Book Value) is debited to it.
(iv) Sale of Old Periodicals:
This is a recurring income of a revenue nature. The amount received from the sale of old newspapers, magazines, etc., is treated as a miscellaneous income and is shown on the credit (income) side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
(v) Sale of Sports Materials:
The sale of used sports materials (like old balls, bats) is a revenue receipt. It is generally not treated as an income but is deducted from the amount of Sports Materials Consumed for the year. The net amount of consumption is then debited as an expenditure to the Income and Expenditure Account.
(vi) Life Membership Fee:
This is a non-recurring, lump-sum payment received from a member for lifetime membership. It is treated as a capital receipt because the benefit to the member extends over many years. It is not credited to the Income and Expenditure Account but is added directly to the Capital Fund on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet.
Question 6. Show the treatment of items of Income and Expenditure Account when there is a specific fund for those items.
Answer:
When a Not-for-Profit Organisation maintains a specific fund for a particular activity (e.g., Prize Fund, Tournament Fund, Building Fund), the principle of Fund-Based Accounting is applied. According to this principle, all incomes and expenses related to that specific activity are adjusted directly within the fund itself and are not shown in the Income and Expenditure Account.
The treatment is as follows:
A separate fund account is created and shown on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet.
All incomes and receipts related to that specific fund (such as donations for the fund, interest earned on fund investments, sale of tickets for an event) are added to the balance of the fund.
All expenses incurred for that specific purpose (e.g., prizes awarded, tournament expenses) are deducted from the balance of the fund.
Example: Treatment of Prize Fund
Balance Sheet (Extract) as on...
| Liabilities | Amount (Rs.) | Assets | Amount (Rs.) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prize Fund | Prize Fund Investments | 50,000 | ||
| Opening Balance | 60,000 | |||
| Add: Donations for Prizes | 10,000 | |||
| Add: Interest on Prize Fund Investments | 5,000 | |||
| 75,000 | ||||
| Less: Prizes Awarded | (8,000) | 67,000 |
Important Note: If the expenses related to a specific fund exceed the total amount available in that fund, the excess amount (the negative balance) is not shown in the Balance Sheet. Instead, the excess expenditure is charged to the debit (expenditure) side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
Question 7. What is Receipt and Payment Account? How is it different from Income and Expenditure Account?
Answer:
A Receipt and Payment Account is a summarised statement of all cash and bank transactions of a Not-for-Profit Organisation that have taken place during an entire accounting period. It is prepared at the end of the year from the cash book. It starts with the opening balance of cash/bank, lists all cash receipts on the debit side and all cash payments on the credit side, and ends with the closing balance of cash/bank.
Difference between Receipt and Payment Account and Income and Expenditure Account:
The key differences are as follows:
| Basis of Distinction | Receipt and Payment Account | Income and Expenditure Account |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Basis of Accounting | It is prepared on a cash basis. | It is prepared on an accrual basis. |
| 2. Nature of Account | It is a Real Account (summary of cash). | It is a Nominal Account (like a P&L Account). |
| 3. Type of Items | It records both capital and revenue receipts and payments. | It records only revenue incomes and expenses. |
| 4. Period | It includes transactions for past, present, and future periods. | It includes transactions for the current period only. |
| 5. Balances | It begins with an opening balance and ends with a closing balance of cash/bank. | It has no opening balance. The closing balance is either a Surplus or a Deficit. |
| 6. Non-Cash Items | It excludes non-cash items like depreciation. | It includes non-cash items like depreciation. |
Question 8. Distinguish between profit and not-for-profit organisation.
Answer:
The following are the key points of distinction between a Profit Organisation (Business Firm) and a Not-for-Profit Organisation (NPO):
| Basis of Distinction | Profit Organisation | Not-for-Profit Organisation |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Motive | The primary motive is to earn profit. | The primary motive is to provide service to its members or society. |
| Ownership | They are owned by individuals (proprietors), partners, or shareholders. | They are set up as charitable trusts or societies and do not have owners in the commercial sense. |
| Distribution of Profit/Surplus | Profits are distributed among the owners in the form of dividends or drawings. | Surplus is not distributed but is added to the Capital Fund to be used for the organisation's objectives. |
| Source of Funds | Funds are primarily raised through capital contributed by owners and loans. | Funds are raised through subscriptions, donations, government grants, and legacies. |
| Financial Statements | They prepare a Manufacturing/Trading Account, Profit and Loss Account, and a Balance Sheet. | They prepare a Receipt and Payment Account, an Income and Expenditure Account, and a Balance Sheet. |
| Net Result | The result of operations is termed as Net Profit or Net Loss. | The result of operations is termed as Surplus or Deficit. |
| Capital vs. Capital Fund | They maintain a Capital Account for owners' investment. | They maintain a Capital Fund (or General Fund) representing accumulated surpluses. |

Working Note:
Calculation of Closing Bank Balance:
The closing balance of cash at bank is the balancing figure of the Receipts and Payments Account.
Closing Bank Balance = Total Receipts - (Total Payments + Closing Cash in Hand)
$= \textsf{₹ } (5,000 + 25,000 + 1,65,000 + 35,000) - \textsf{₹ } (80,000 + 20,000 + 21,500 + 2,000 + 1,000 + 2,500 + 12,000)$
$= \textsf{₹ } 2,30,000 - \textsf{₹ } 1,39,000$

Prepare the Income and Expenditure Account for the Year ended on March 31, 2015 after considering the following:
(i) Liabilities to be provided for are: Rent ₹ 800; Salaries ₹ 1,200; advertisement ₹ 200.
(ii) ₹ 2,000 due for interest on investment was not actually received.
Answer:
The Income and Expenditure Account is the equivalent of the Profit and Loss Account for a Not-for-Profit Organisation. It is prepared on an accrual basis and includes only revenue items pertaining to the current accounting period. The final balance of this account represents either a Surplus (Excess of Income over Expenditure) or a Deficit (Excess of Expenditure over Income).
Important Note: Items like Endowment Fund, Legacies, Donation for Building, and Legacy for Building are capital receipts and will be shown in the Balance Sheet. Similarly, payments for Furniture, Investments, and Advance for building are capital expenditures (assets) and will not be debited to the Income and Expenditure Account.

To prepare the Income and Expenditure Account, we need to distinguish between capital and revenue items and consider only those items that pertain to the current accounting year, following the accrual basis of accounting.
Important Note: Purchase of Books ($\textsf{₹ }$ 31,000) is a capital expenditure and creates an asset. Hence, it will be shown in the Balance Sheet and not in the Income and Expenditure Account. The remaining amount from "Purchase of Books and Periodicals" ($\textsf{₹ } 40,000 - \textsf{₹ } 31,000 = \textsf{₹ } 9,000$) is for periodicals, which is a revenue expenditure.

| General Fund | 80,000 |
| General Fund Investments | 80,000 |
| Interest on General Fund Investments | 8,000 |
Answer:
The treatment of the given items is based on the principles of Fund-Based Accounting.
A Specific Fund like the 'Sports Fund' is created for a specific purpose. All incomes and donations related to this fund (e.g., Interest on Sports Fund, Donations for Sports Fund) are added to the fund on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet. All expenses related to the fund (e.g., Sports Prizes, Expenses on Sports Events) are deducted from it. These items do not appear in the Income and Expenditure Account.
In contrast, incomes related to the General Fund (like Interest on General Fund Investments) are treated as regular revenue income and are credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.

Question 5. How will you deal with the following items while preparing for the Bombay Women Cricket Club its income and expenditure account for the year ending 31.3.2017 and its Balance Sheet as on 31.3.2017:
| ₹ | |
|---|---|
| (a) Donation received during the year for the construction of a permanent Pavilion | 12,25,000 |
| Expenditure incurred up to 31.3.2017 on its construction | 10,80,000 |
| The total estimated expenditure on construction of Pavilion being | 25,00,000 |
| (b) Tournament Fund: | |
| Balance as on 1.4.2016 | 10,700 |
| Subscriptions for tournament received during the year | 65,800 |
| Expenditure incurred during the year on conducting tournaments | 72,400 |
| (c) Life Membership fee received during the year | 28,000 |
Give reasons for your answers.
Answer:
The treatment of the given items in the final accounts of Bombay Women Cricket Club is as follows:
(a) Pavilion Fund and Construction
Reason: The donation for the pavilion is a specific donation for the creation of a capital asset. Therefore, it is a capital receipt and should be shown as a liability in the Balance Sheet under 'Pavilion Fund'. The expenditure incurred on construction is a capital expenditure, which is shown as an asset 'Pavilion in Progress'. An amount equal to the expenditure incurred is transferred from the Pavilion Fund to the Capital/General Fund, signifying the creation of the club's own capital asset.
Presentation in Final Accounts: This will not be shown in the Income and Expenditure Account. Its presentation will be in the Balance Sheet.
Extract from Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2017
| Liabilities | Amount ($\textsf{₹ }$) | Assets | Amount ($\textsf{₹ }$) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capital Fund (or General Fund) | Pavilion in Progress | 10,80,000 | |
| Add: Transfer from Pavilion Fund | 10,80,000 | (...other assets...) | |
| Pavilion Fund: | |||
| Donation Received | 12,25,000 | ||
| Less: Transfer to Capital Fund | (10,80,000) | ||
| 1,45,000 |
(b) Tournament Fund
Reason: The 'Tournament Fund' is a specific fund. As per fund-based accounting, all incomes related to the tournament (like subscriptions) are added to this fund, and all expenses (conducting tournaments) are deducted from it. Since the total fund ($\textsf{₹ }10,700 + \textsf{₹ }65,800 = \textsf{₹ }76,500$) is more than the expenses ($\textsf{₹ }72,400$), the remaining balance will be shown on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet. These items will not affect the Income and Expenditure Account.
Presentation in Final Accounts:
Extract from Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2017
| Liabilities | Amount ($\textsf{₹ }$) | Assets | Amount ($\textsf{₹ }$) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tournament Fund: | (...assets...) | ||

| Add: Subscriptions received | 65,800 | ||
| 76,500 | |||
| Less: Tournament Expenses | (72,400) | ||
| 4,100 |
(c) Life Membership Fee
Reason: Life Membership Fee is a non-recurring receipt from a member for their entire life. It is not related to a specific period. Hence, it is treated as a capital receipt and is directly added to the Capital Fund (or General Fund) in the Balance Sheet. It is not considered as an income for the year.
Presentation in Final Accounts: This will not be shown in the Income and Expenditure Account.
Extract from Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2017
