Is the questioner's understanding that zakat is obligatory on promotion funds, under the mentioned conditions, correct? What about previous promotion funds on which zakat was not paid immediately upon receipt, despite exceeding the minimum threshold (nisab) and years passing before their receipt? Are there any scholars who hold the view that promotion funds are not subject to zakat, but rather a new hawl (lunar year for zakat calculation) begins with them after their receipt?

What was understood from the aforementioned is correct, which is the obligation of on delayed promotion funds. This opinion is the most cautious and absolves one's responsibility, meaning that zakat must be paid for all past years after the money is received.
