07 April 2011 Till you receive the assessment order, do not do any adjustment.

07 April 2011 In ideal scenario : your provision for tax should match with your tax liability. But you are showing provision as 150000/- whereas tax liability at 200000/-.

Normally the adjustment entry is passed on receipt of assessment order.

Entry :

Provision for Tax Dr.
Self assessment Tax Cr.
Advance Tax Cr.
