Re sir\madam we are authorised distributor of compressor and our clients are goverment bodies where we billed the client on 100% basis as per po term but, as per po payment terms our client only gives 90% amt against delivery and 10% after 6months to 1 years period after despatch since we bill 100% our trunover increase and since we receives only 90% our cash flow get disturbed can we show remaining 10% as contingency provision ? since the 10% receivable is against performance bank guarantee and completion of erection and commissioning and acceptance by Client. Since this affects the outflow and in form of heavy tax burden if the 10% amt turns in lakhs will we can postpon the tax liability to that extent please resolved the query to the earliest
