as far as provisions are concerned Difference of provisions Rs.422255 should be added and difference of advance tax Rs.100000 should be subtracted in operating activity.

You should see the P&L A/c to find out the provision for tax.If nothing is given in the problem, we should assume that last year liability paid off in the current year and closing liability is the provision for current year.

Hence Current year Provision to be added back is Rs.1372566 and

Income tax paid to be deducted after working capital changes is Rs.1050311

(i.e opening provision(net of advance tax) of Rs. 311 + Cy Provision of Rs. 1372566 - Cl Provision(net of advance Tax) of Rs. 352566.

Income Tax paid = Op. Provision + CY provision made - Cl. Provision

OVERALL AS SAID BY PAWAN OPERATING PROFIT WILL BE DECREASED BY RS. 322255 (1372566 - 1050311)
