Since, there was uncertainty in collection, company didn't booked it on accrual basis. However, the grant was later received in 2016. What should the correct accounting treatment now in 2016 as per Ind AS-20.

Shall it be credited to deferred govt. grant in balance sheet and recognised in profit or loss over the remaining useful life of such plant and machinery or it shall be directly credited to Profit or loss account."
