Answer #1

As per the concept of Revenue and Capital expenditure / receipt classification, An amount received from customer as a Deposit ( which means it would be repaid in future years ), would be classified as a Capital receipt instead of a revenue receipt. and would be shown as a Liability in the balance sheet instaead of income in Profit and Loss statement.

As per "Revenue Recognition" It would be reported as a liability in Balance seet and would be recognized as revenue in the future years when related expenditure would have been incurred.
