sir plz tell me if my bsnl bill is from 15 th march to 15 th april then can i take bill amount 50% last f.y. and 50% this f.y.????
Yes we can Show proportionately.
and sir one more thing the provisional entry should be made only on 31st march for accrual basis???
Yes provisional entry required when accounting based on accrual base.
In cash base accounting expenses recorded when we make payment.
sir plz tell me if i get gst bill of bsnl telephone on 7 th of every month then can i take entry in accounts on 7 th of every month and only in march 31st i will take entry???
As per the matching concept and mercentile system the expense you incurred in any financial year those expenses you've to show in same financial year.

So, the bill of march you'll receive in april and if you pass entry in April the financial will change so that's why in the month of march provision required

In rest months question will not arise regarding change of financial year.
So you can pass J.V. 7th of every month but in March provision required

Besure you're following accrual / mercentile base accounting. This concept not applicable for cash base accounting
ok thank you sir it is clear now

Utility Bills viz., MES,Telephone & Insurance at times Interest debits after the F Y can also be considered in single a/c head such as

Provision for Expenses & if a schedule has been taken it can be set off when since paid subsquently

Its best practice to mention in narration Booking  and payment entry  for the month  so , so &  In the month of march  Provision for the month . 

Yes u can take on 31st march
