If I have a paper accepted in a known conference of my field but am not able to present it at the the conference due to certain factors, should this be mentioned on my Master's application?
Also, where/how should this be mentioned?

3Was the paper withdrawn? Did someone else present it? Are you in a field like CS, where conference papers matter? – Mangara Apr 01 '14 at 19:58

Field:CS. Not withdrawn, just that the funding process from the university is fairly long-drawn and may not get completed in time. – asheeshr Apr 02 '14 at 01:19

If a paper is being withdrawn, then I would not give it any weight if I were reviewing a grad school application. The publications & presentations section of your CV is evidence of scholarly achievement, and so if the presentation didn't take place, there was no achievement -- I know of many conferences that have a nearly 100% acceptance rate, so having the paper accepted may simply be evidence of your ability to write coherently.

1To counter your statement, presenting it isn't evidence of achievement either if the acceptance rate is 100%. – Austin Henley Mar 09 '16 at 08:05

If the paper isn't being withdrawn and will be included in the proceedings then yes, definitely include it!
Otherwise, you could list it as "In Preparation" in your Publication section if you plan on resubmitting it.
