What Is Construction & Real Estate Accounting?

Definition: Specialised financial management of revenue recognition, cost tracking, and regulatory compliance for property development and building projects, governed by IND AS 115, RERA 2016, and CGST Act 2017.

Differs from standard accounting: Long-duration contracts, milestone-based billing, retention money, project-wise cost segregation, RERA escrow, and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition.

Delhi context: Track costs per project/tower (DDA Dwarka, commercial Connaught Place, industrial Okhla). Revenue via POCM under IND AS 115. Delhi RERA mandates quarterly financial statements for all registered projects.

Key terms: RERA Escrow (70% of allottee receipts in dedicated account, S.4(2)(l)(D)), WIP (work-in-progress valuation), POCM (percentage-of-completion method), Job Costing (cost allocation across materials/labour/equipment).

See Accounting Services for general business accounting.

Key Terms for Construction & Real Estate Accounting in Delhi:

RERA Escrow: 70% of allottee receipts in dedicated bank account. Used only for that project's construction/land costs. CA-certified withdrawals.

IND AS 115: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Percentage-of-completion for long-term construction contracts.

POCM: Percentage-of-Completion Method. Revenue recognised based on certified work vs total estimated cost.

Section 194C: TDS on contractor payments. 1% (individual/HUF) or 2% (others) on payments exceeding Rs 30,000.

Works Contract: GST on construction services - 12% or 18% depending on contract type.
