When I received the Invoice from the Service provider
Actual Bill amount was 1,90,000
JV on date of receipt of Invoice
Provision for Expenses A/c Dr 1,86,200 To Service Provider A/c 1,86,200
(Rs.1,90,0000-(TDS=Rs.1,90,000*2%)) = 1,86,200
Adjusting the excess amount left in Provision for Expenses i.e
(2,05,800 - 1,86,200 = 19,600)
Provision for expenses A/c Dr 19,600 To Cab Hire charges 19,600
(being Adjustment entry passed for excess amount charged to Cab hire charges Ag. Provision for Expenses on 31.03.2011)

Rs.400 I paid excess. How could I account this and What will be the Tax treatment in such cases.
If you have already deducted and paid also this TDS amount to Govt, You can claim this excess amount from Cab agency as you will give them TDS certificate and they also can claim this TDS in their IT Return based on your Certificate.

DS IS Deducted on Paymnt basis not on due basis .There is no need to deduct TDS from the provision of expanses that made at the end of year .
TDS provisions says it is deductible at the time of payment of expenses or credit of the same whichever is earlier and hence if as per accrual system of accounting, provision has been made, tds provisions will attract and assessee has to deduct tds from provision amount also.
