Deferred tax is the tax effect of timing differences. Treatment of all expenses / incomes is not same as per accounts and income tax. Suppose, the company has not paid amounts falling u/s 43B before filing return, the same will be disallowed in income tax. Hence, u have paid excess tax on account of this when compared to books. So u will create a deferred tax asset for it. Reverse way is deferred tax liability.
