C.Tax base of liability for Revenue received in advance= Carrying Amount less Amount of revenue that will not be taxable in future periods as per Income Tax Act 1961.
5.Temporary Difference.
To find out Deferred Tax Asset or Deferred Tax Liability, You have to find out Taxable Temporary Difference or Deductible temporary difference as follows----

If Carrying Amount>Tax Base, Then Taxable temporary difference will happen in the case of Assets. Then Deferred Tax Liability will be recognized.
Whereas
If Carrying Amount>Tax Base, Then Deductible temporary difference will happen in the case of Liabilities. Then Deferred Tax Asset will be recognized.
