Dear Harsh!
If the provision is made out of the P&L Appropriation account than it will only have a positive effect on the P&L Account Balance. However if the provision is above the line item than certainly that Income be treated as Income of the previous year written back. and pay tax accordingly .
Please see also deemed income section!

dear
since provisions are appropriation of income and tax is chargable on income and not on profits remains after appropriation
hence when a sum is not deducted while computing taxable income its subsequent recovery/credit to p&l
will not attract tax liability.
but when a provision aloowed as deduction its subsequent recovery or remission or sucession will attract tax liability as given u/s 41(1) and 36(1)(viia)
