Respected Experts Is it correct to show Provision for tax equal to the amount of Tax Payable and Interest u/s 234A & 234B instead of showing interest payable seperately in P&L as an expense?

Provision for taxation is to be made for income tax plus surcharge (if applicablea)plus cess plus secondary and higher eduction cess. Thus the gross amount should be shown in P & L as well as in B/S.

provision of income tax also included interest u/s 234.you can not disclose interest payable as expenses in p&l a/c. Provision of income tax must be disclosed under the line of p&l A/c

Second line of the query is overlooked . Observation of Navin Ji is undoubtedly correct meaning thereby provision is to be made for IT + SC+ CESS+ SHE CESS + 234 interest. Error is honestly regretted.
