A subscription is a one-time payment made by a member each year. 

For such organisations, this is their primary source of revenue. 

For example, a club received Rs. 20,000 in subscriptions in 2016-17, of which Rs. 3,000 relates to 2015-16 and Rs. 2,000 to 2017-18, and Rs. 6,000 is still owed at the end of the year. 

The Receipt and Payment Account will display Rs.20,000 as a subscription receipt in this situation. However, for the fiscal year 2016-17, the Income and Expenditure Account will reflect Rs. 21,000 in subscription income, as calculated below:

Subscriptions received in 2016-17
