Step 2 — Adjust Insurance Premium for the prepaid portion. ₹15,000 was paid for 15 months (1.4.2023 to 30.6.2024); of this, 3 months (April, May, June 2024) fall in the next accounting year and are prepaid. Prepaid Insurance = 15,000 × 3/15 = ₹3,000. Insurance for the current year (12 months) = 15,000 − 3,000 = ₹12,000. The ₹3,000 prepaid insurance will appear as an asset in the closing Balance Sheet.
Step 3 — Government Grant. As stated, this ₹20,000 grant is meant for running expenses, so it is treated in full as revenue income, credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.
Step 4 — Prepare the Income and Expenditure Account.
