Answer / y p nevatia

In provision, either the receipient or the amt. involved or
both are not certain & even TDS is not attracted on
provision made.

In case of payable or outstanding liability, both the
amount & receiptient are certain but bill for the same may
or may not have been received. TDS, if applicable, shall be
deducted for creating any liability or payable.

What is the difference between provision and payable..

Answer / manoj

• In a broader sense, provision is nothing, but liability,
and considered an obligation of a business to be met in
near future implying cash outflow.
• However, on closer inspection, provision appear to be a
special type of liability.
• This is because of certainty that is normally associated
with liability, and which is lacking in the case of
provision.
• This means that we are accepting provision and liability
to be similar, but not saying this clearly, but accepting
them as two points on a continuum.
