Khelo India sports Club started the activity of searching and nurturing sports talent from village levels of the country. For this initiative, Mr. David a renowned industrialist donated ₹50,00,000 on 1st July 2020, for the construction of a new hostel and mess for upcoming sportsmen.

Where should the amount of ₹35,00,000 spent on construction of building be reflected? |
Reflected on debit side of income and expenditure account as an expense. Not be recorded till the building is complete. Reflected as a deduction from Building fund and addition to capital fund None of the above |
Reflected as a deduction from Building fund and addition to capital fund |
The correct answer is option 3- Reflected as a deduction from Building fund and addition to capital fund. * The amount of ₹35,00,000 spent on construction of building will be deducted from the building fund and added to capital fund. Expenses related to specific funds are first adjusted from available fund. Here the amount of expense spent on the construction is deducted from the specific fund and the same amount is added to the capital fund/general fund.
** The Not-for-Profit Organisations office create special funds for certain purposes/ activities such as 'prize funds', 'match fund' and 'sports fund', etc. Such funds are invested in securities and the income earned on such investments is added to the respective fund, not credited to Income and Expenditure Account. Similarly, the expenses incurred on such specific purposes are also deducted from the special fund. For example, a club may maintain a special fund for sports activities. In such a situation, the interest income on sports fund investments is added to the sports fund and all expenses on sports deducted therefrom. The special funds are shown in the balance sheet. However, if, after adjustment of income and expenses the balance in specific or special fund is negative, it is transferred to the debit side of the Income and Expenditure Account or adjusted as per prescribed directions. |
