Govenment Grant in the Form of Subsidy

A company had estalblished a factory set up in a backward area in 1990. It received Subsidy from  Government  for setting up the Factory. It had fulfilled all conditions within the required 5 years It transferred the amount of Subsidy to a Specific Account named "Govt. Subsidy" under "Reserves and Surplus" . 

The Issue is in the Balance Sheet of the Company this Account i.e "Govt. Subsidy" still is shown at the amount of Govt. Subsidy even after a period of 20 years.

What should be the Correct Accounting Treatment given to the balance in "Govt. Subsidy" Account?

this subsidy is in the nature of promoters contribution
hence it should be shown under capital reserve under the head share holders funds

it can not be withdrawn
