But i am confused with one point..On 31-3-2014 we have one amount as closing stock..if on 1-4-2014 we change that figure in order to match with physical stock then how it will have effect on books of account..How books get tallied???

1. You should pass the entry on 31/03/2014 & NOT on 01/04/2014.
The closing stock should be taken at actual.
2. Further if you want to pass entry on 01/04/2014 then carry forward the closing stock. Pass the physical stock voucher on 01/04/2014. Your opening stock will match with closing stock. The adjustment will be shown as outward in the stock item.
For eg. stock as on 31/03/2014 is 2000 nos.
Opening balance as on 01/04/2014 will also be 2000 nos.
Then pass the entry to record 1800 nos
Impact will be as under:
Opening Stock on 01/04/2014 - 2000 nos Outward on 01/04/2014 - 200 nos Closing balance on 01/04/2014 - 1800 nos
