Kinldly Explain How can i Calculate DTA/DTL by using Balance sheet approch For Gratuity??

Hi,

By Computing differences in Gratuity allowable/payable as per IT and companies Act.

COMPUTATION OF DEFERRED TAX  Amount  (Rs.)
As per Accounting Standards-22  
TIMING DIFFERENCES  
Gratuity allowable/payable as per Income Tax Act v/s Companies Act  
Gratuity allowable/payable as per IT act                 25,000,000
Gratuity allowable/payable as per Companies Act                 33,000,000
Difference                   8,000,000
Tax thereon @ 30.9%                   2,472,000
Deferred Tax Liability since AI >TI                   2,472,000
Deferred Tax Asset of Last Year                      257,600
Adjusted Deferred Tax Liability          2,214,400

In the above example, Gratuity allowable/payable as per IT is less than Gratuity allowable/payable as per companies act hence profit as per income tax is less than accounts. So deferred tax liability of Rs. 24,72,000 will be created in books. Since last year we already have DTA, so this liability is adjusted with last year asset and only deferred tax liability is Rs. 22,14,400 charged in profit and loss account, but full Rs. 24,72,000 will be shown in balance sheet.

You can follow any one of the method, but once you started following one method don’t change it in next year, otherwise it will give incorrect results.

Also, you can follow the link mentioned below by the IT Department which is quite unique and simple to apply:
