Provision for FBT is below the line item and should be shown after profit before tax and under the head provision for taxation.
FBT is an allowable reduction for the purpose of calculation of MAT. Hence if you start from profit before tax for MAT calculation then it will be deducted and if you start after profit after tax then no need to deduct.
