Delivery is delayed at buyer’s request and buyer takes title and accepts billing
Revenue should be recognised notwithstanding that physical delivery has not been completed so long as there is every expectation that delivery will be made. However, the item must be on hand, identified and ready for delivery to the buyer at the time the sale is recognised rather than there being simply an intention to acquire or manufacture the goods in time for delivery.
Please read the above paragraph which is part of appendix of As-9.
Sales is to booked on the date of export invoice i.e 31st march itself. BEcasue items are identified and ready for deleviery.

Agrred with Mr Bansal. In my view also, sales should be recorded on Invoice date, since goods are ready to be delivered and which is also confirmed by the Bill of Lading after 2 Days which can be considered as normal delivery methods for revenue recognition. So Invoice should be booked on 31.3.2010.
