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.

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.
