The term "deferred expense" is used to describe a payment that has been made, but it won't be reported as an expense until a future accounting period.

An example of a deferred expense is the Rs.12,000 insurance premium paid by a company on December27 for insurance protection for the upcoming January1 through June30. On December27 the Rs.12,000 is deferred to the balance sheet account Prepaid Insurance. Beginning in January it will be expensed at the rate of Rs.2,000 per month.

Deferred revenue is not yet revenue. It is an amount that was received by a company in advance of earning it. The amount unearned (and therefore deferred) as of the date of the financial statements should be reported as a liability. The title of the liability account might be Unearned Revenues or Deferred Revenues.

 

For Example a company receives Rs.10000 in advance for the delivery of goods would book it as deferred revenue in its Balance sheet, when goods are delivered to the customer, the company would transfer Rs.10000 from Deferred revenue account to regular revenue account on its income statement.
