Hi,

Income-tax is not an allowable expenditure.  Hence, income-tax debited/claimed as deduction has to be added back to arrive at the taxable income.  Hence, Rs.4000/- has to be added back.

If the provision were to be Rs.1000/- (correct value), income would have been more by Rs.3000.  Hence, either way, taxable income will remain same.
