For this, even in the accrual basis there must be a possibility of the occurrence of a certain event which shall create a liability on the company to pay such dues, under conflict.

Also that shall be probable on an fair basis that the chances of occurrence of such event are fair. In case the chances are remote and that the event is not fairly probable then no liability shall be recorded.
