Deferred Tax Liability (DTL) is a pure accounting/Ind AS concept and does not directly affect taxable income. Here is how it is handled in ITR-6:

1. What DTL Is: DTL arises when book profit is higher than taxable profit (e.g., due to book depreciation being lower than tax depreciation under WDV). It represents future tax payable.

2. ITR-6 Disclosure — Balance Sheet Schedule:
- In ITR-6, go to Schedule BS (Balance Sheet)
- Under 'Sources of Funds' → 'Deferred Tax Liability' → Enter the closing balance of DTL as per books
- Under 'P&L' → If deferred tax expense (DTL created/increased) during the year, it appears as a charge in the P&L

3. Deferred Tax Does NOT Affect Taxable Income:
- DTL/DTA is a book entry only — it has no impact on tax computation in ITR-6
- Tax payable is computed purely on taxable income as per IT Act provisions
- DTL is NOT a deductible expense for income tax purposes

4. MAT (Section 115JB):
- Deferred tax expense shown in P&L is ADDED BACK when computing Book Profit for MAT purposes under Explanation 1 to Section 115JB
- Similarly, DTA write-back is deducted from book profit for MAT

5. Practical Steps:
- Schedule P&L: Show Net Profit after tax (which includes deferred tax charge)
- Schedule BP (Book Profit for MAT): Add back the deferred tax expense / deduct DTA credit shown in P&L
- Schedule BS: Show DTL as a liability on the balance sheet.
