25 April 2012 yes your entry is right but big organisation in these kind of cases they record the expenses with full amount when they received the bill.. they don,t create any provision,. n and also don,t consider these thing in prior period items okay...................

27 April 2012 Pramod, entry is correct and this is exactly the way we record in our company the only diff being the amount is estimated based on the previous 3 bills until the exact amount is known.

03 May 2012 Total Bill divided by the number of days and multiply with the number of the days up to 31.3.2012 and provide the same in 2011-12 and balance in 1012-13
