simply pass this entry in first year :
31 march
provision for gratuity dr. to gratuity liablity
with full amt calculated by actuary as ur liablity in his report.
in subsequent years :
31 march
provision for gratuity dr. to gratuity liablity
with difference in amt of liablity calculated in report and balance in ur b.s in gratuiy liablity a/c.
means in the balance sheet, the amount reported as liability every year by actuary will be shown.
as u mentioned u r complying first time with this A.S., if there was any liablity in opening of this financial year (which actuary can tell u), that amt will be treated as prior period item and charged seperately to P&L from this years' provision.
for example : if rs. 100 is ur liablity on 31 mar.08 and actuary tells u that on 1 apr.07 ur liablity was rs. 75, u need to treat rs. 75 as prior period item (to be debited to P&L seperately) and rs. 25 as this year's provision.
in notes to accounts, disclose that u have taken actuary report for gratuity liablity and have provided in books accordingly.
