Annual Membership fees should be part of Income & Expenditure A/c.
If any member deposited Lump Sum membership for more than one year, then all fees related to forthcoming financial year should be treated as advance income under the head of Current Liabilities in the year of receipt
Revenue should be recognized accordingly for balance year
