Even though AS-9 is not applicable as it is a partnership firm, receiving advances will not lead to any sort of
recognition of revenue as the plots to be sold are not yet marked,ready, and no binding agreement is entered between parties. The advances are to be shown as liability only. No sales are to be recorded.
