27 October 2014 Hi

You may not reverse if amount is not material enough & also considering situation on valuation date.

E.G. Valuation done as on March 14 in Aug 14, where in between Mar & Aug discount rate got reduced, so there is higher liability in future, so reversing liability may require you to provide additional provision in next FY.

Thanks
