Hi Sandeep

First of all you should reduce your noraml tax by the amount so the closing balance of Normal tax shows the same amount as in mat credit entitlement (through provision for tax).

Then you can pass entry of taking MAT Credit entitlement .

In profit & loss account shows the difference between Normal tax & MAT (which will be nil) and MAT amount will be reflect under loans & advances in Balance Sheet.
