12 April 2011 Ideally, the above adjustment entry should not be passed till the actual assessment order is received.

The balances of Advance tax / Provision for Tax / TDS receivable / Self assessment tax should remain in the balance sheet (Yearwise) & the adjustment entry should be passed on receipt of assessment order.
