10 August 2010 As per AS 15,the retirement benefit like gratuity are to be accrued on the basis of actuarial valuation of employers' contribution.The interest amount can be netted off from this accrual amount.

If you are following accrual basis of accounting then you have to consider an income in P & L a/c when it is accrued. You can not leave any income.
