Liability means which you incur during the same F.Y. and also square up in the same F.Y. However if the liability arises during one F.Y. and the same is squared up in the subsequent F.Y.'s then we are requried to make provision for the liability as the expenditure relates to the current F.Y. but th epayment is deferred to subsequent F.Y.(s)
