10 August 2010 can make provision for the warranty claim on the basis of past trend /estimation or on the basis of Industry standards.Pl note that In - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA - M/s. Rotork Controls India (P) Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Income Tax, Chennai,honorable Apex Court allowed the claim of provision for warranty stating that, "with making of provision on the basis of estimated present value of contingent liability holds good during the assessment years in question qua warranty claims".
Whenever you get actual bill you can pass journal entries against those provsion.
