CUSTOMER
A customer is a party that has contracted to obtain goods or services that are an
output of entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.
A counterparty would not be a customer if it has contracted with the entity to
participate in an activity or process in which the parties to the contract share in the
risks and benefits rather than to obtain the output of the entity’s ordinary activities.
(For Example, Developing an asset in a collaboration arrangement)
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies its performance obligations
4.1 CONTRACT
A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable
rights and obligations. Contracts can be written, oral, or implied.
b) The entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services
to be transferred;
c) The entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to
be transferred;
e) It is probable that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration
to which it expects to be entitled.
A contract may NOT pass all the 5 conditions of Step 1, but entity may still transfer
goods or services to the customer and receive non-refundable consideration in exchange
for those goods or services. In that circumstance, the entity cannot recognise revenue
for the non-refundable consideration received i.e. the entity will recognise consideration
received as a liability until either:
Step 1 criteria are subsequently met, OR
One of the events outlined below has occurred:
a) The entity has no remaining obligations to transfer goods or services, and
substantially all consideration received from customer is non-refundable, OR
b) The contract has been terminated, and consideration received from the customer
is non-refundable.
When a contract passes Step 1, entity should NOT reassess contract existence unless
there is an indication of a significant change in facts & circumstances.
TERMINATION PROVISIONS
Some contracts can be terminated by either party or it may only be terminated by
one party. An accounting contract DOES NOT exist if each party to a contract has
the unilateral enforceable right to terminate a wholly unperformed contract without
paying a termination penalty.
In some situations, only the customer has the ability to terminate the contract without
penalty. In those situations, the contract term for accounting purposes may be shorter
than the stated contract term.

A. IDENTIFYING A MODIFICATION
A contract modification exists if three conditions are met:
i) There is a change in the scope, price, or both in a contract.
ii) That change is approved by both the entity and the customer.
ACCOUNTING FOR
MODIFICATION
Promises under the contract can be explicit (mentioned in the contract) or implicit
(implied by customary business practice).
NOTE: Whether Goods or Services are distinct or not is to be checked in the context
of the contract
TRANSACTION
PRICE
Penalties
Where the penalty is inherent in determination of transaction price, it shall form part
of variable consideration.
EXAMPLE
An entity agrees to transfer control of a good or service at the end of 30 days for ₹
100,000 and if it exceeds 30 days, then entity is entitled to receive only ₹ 95,000.
Reduction of ₹ 5,000 shall be regarded as variable consideration. In other cases, the
transaction price shall be considered as fixed.
• The expected value is the sum of • It is the single most likely amount in
probability-weighted amounts in a a range of possible consideration
range of possible consideration amounts (i.e. the single most likely
amounts. This method may be outcome). This method may be
appropriate if the contract has appropriate if the contract has only
multiple outcomes possible. two possible outcomes (Example, an
entity either achieves a performance
bonus or does not).
D. NON-CASH CONSIDERATION
Sometimes a customer promises to pay for a good or service in a form other than cash
such as shares, advertising, or equipment.
To determine the transaction price in such cases:
After Contract Inception, if the fair value of the non-cash consideration varies due to
its form (Eg: Shares), entity does not adjust the transaction price for any such
changes. But, if it varies for reasons other than only the form of the consideration
(for example, the fair value could vary because of the entity’s performance), the entity
is required to apply the guidance on variable consideration.
NOTE:
If the entity cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the good or service received
from the customer, it shall account for all of the consideration payable to the customer
as a reduction of the transaction price
A. CONTROL
Control of an asset refers to ability to direct the use & obtain substantially all the
benefits from the asset OR ability to prevent others from directing the use of the
asset.
In addition, an entity shall consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include
the following:
The entity has a present right to payment for the asset;
The customer has legal title to the asset;
The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset;
The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset;
The customer has accepted the asset.

NOTE 1:
It is ordinarily applied in situations where benefits of seller’s performance are
immediately consumed by the customer. Hence, in such situations, entity’s performance
is said to be performed over a period of time.
NOTE 2:
In such cases, the customer ordinarily obtains control of the asset whose work is in
progress and therefore, the entity carrying out the work can recognise revenue over a
period of time
NOTE 3:
This criterion is met if two factors exist:
NOTE:
Exclude abnormal losses and wastages from the cost incurred calculation as they
do not contribute to satisfying performance obligation.
In case of unused material, we would adjust the input method & calculate stage
of completion based on used material only. The unused material should be
recognised only to the extent of cost incurred.
If the inputs/costs are incurred evenly, we can use the straight-line method

NOTE:
If the option lapses unexercised, an entity shall derecognise the liability and recognise
revenue.
The above treatment would be done for options only if, the entity estimates at the
inception that there is a significant economic incentive for the option holder to exercise
the option. The economic incentive should be evaluated form the option holder
perspective by comparing the repurchase price with the expected market price.
If the customer does not have a significant economic incentive to exercise its right,
