Short Provision

After finalisation of books we found that the provision for unpaid bills  makes short. We had paid more then provision.

What should we do as accounting of that bills in current year is not allowable as per Income Tax derpartment and we can't avoid payment of such bills.

for Example We make provision of Rs. 50000/- against  Bills of  electricity, telephone, Mobile, Petrol etc. and final the Balance sheet.

After submitting the B/S to Income Tax Dept we found that we paid 60000/- against provision what should we do for balance Rs. 10000/-

If the short provision is known to you before the accounts are finalised, make that extra provision in the year concerned itself. Otherwise nothing wrong in claiming the short provision in the following year.

The difference in the estimates for provisions may be claimed in the current year. The liabilities which have not crystalised but accrued and are booked in the accounts on the basis of estimates. Any difference in such estimates may be adjusted and claimed in the next year.

We can take care of these expenses in current year but Income Tax Dept will disallowed such type of expenditure.

and also please let me know to what should we do regarding any penalty impose by any govt dept. How should I accounted such penalty (this will also not allowable expenses)
