The One Says:

Is the Service Tax amount accurate first of all? How are you calling it Directors' Travel Inland if its foreign travel? (I am an auditor and these questions are bound to come up)

If you are reversing the entry ie for cancellation of ticket then just reverse whatever entry you have passed earlier (depending on whether there are any cancellation charges - then entry would change)

Other opinions are welcome as always. Hope if helps.
