The undue assigned contracted receivables are the remaining portion of the assigned receivables from the distributors related to the handset campaigns which will be collected from subscribers by the Company in instalments. When the monthly instalment is billed to the subscriber, that portion is transferred to “Receivables from subscribers”. The Company measures the undue assigned contracted receivables at amortized cost, bears the credit risk and recognizes interest income throughout the contract period.

The accrued revenue represents accrued revenue from subscribers. Due to the high volume of subscribers, there are different billing cycles. Accordingly, an accrual is made at the end of each reporting period to accrue revenue for services rendered but not billed. The undue assigned contracted receivables related to handset campaigns, which will be billed after one year amounted to TL 172,261 (31 December 2019: TL 116,462) is presented under non-current trade receivable amounted to TL 222,451 (31 December 2019: TL 148,159).
