Deduction of bonus is allowable only if you have actually paid u/s 43(B) of Income Tax Act.
Provision for bonus is not allowable expenditure.
Example : If you made provision for bonus in A.Y. 2011-12, then up to due date of filing of return u actually paid the bonus then it will be allowable otherwise it is disallowed u/s 43(B).
