Which of the following will be shown in Receipts and Payments account of a NPO?

Options:

Subscriptions received for current year

Subscriptions received for previous year in the current year

Subscriptions received for next year in the current year

All of the above

Correct Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- All of the above.

Subscription is a membership fee paid by the member on annual basis. This is the main source of income of such organisations. Subscription paid by the members is shown as receipt in the Receipt and Payment Account and as income in the Income and Expenditure Account. It may be noted that Receipt and Payment Account shows the total amount of subscription actually received during the year while the amount shown in Income and Expenditure Account is confined to the figure related to the current period only irrespective of the fact whether it has been received or not.

Therefore, all the items are shown in the receipts and payments account.
