Deferred Government Grants — Presentation under Revised Schedule VI Nature: Deferred government grants represent government assistance related to assets or income, which is recognized over multiple periods. Accounting Treatment: It is not a liability because it does not represent an obligation to pay money or provide services. Instead, it is treated as deferred income, recognized gradually in the Profit & Loss account over the useful life of the related asset or as the related expenses are incurred. Balance Sheet Presentation: Since it is deferred income, it is shown under ‘Reserves and Surplus’ (a part of shareholders’ funds) or in a separate head called “Deferred Government Grants” under ‘Other Equity’ or ‘Reserves & Surplus’. It should not be shown as a liability (neither current nor non-current).
