Hi Sarika, as u know accrual concept is our fundamental accounting assumption. It means that all exp and income should be accounted for in the year in which the same accrues. before the introduction of AS 22, we used to provide for tax as per the liability to pay and not as per accrued liability as per accounts. now, that thing has been removed with the introduction of AS 22. Any item due to which there is deferment of tax liability (timing differences) should not affect the current period. this is done by creating DTA / DTL. Regards, CA Shakuntala Chhangani

Further to the other expert's comment, let me explain through an example.
Assume that your profit as per P&L is 10,000 but taxable profit is 8,000 (due to tax depreciation is higher than accounting depreciation). Further assume that tax rate is 30%. In this case your actual tax is 8000 X 30% = 2400. As per DTA/DTL, you will provide a tax of 10,000 X 30% = 3,000 by debiting 600 to DTL.. Your entry will be:
