Government grants Recognised as deferred income and amortized when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply  with the conditions  attached  to them and the grants will be received. Entities may offset capital grants against asset values. Similar to IFRS, except when conditions are attached to grant. In this case, revenue recognition is delayed until such conditions  are met.

For e.g., in certain cases, grants received are directly credited  to capital reserve (in equity).
