Reserve is appropriation of Profit & loss while provision is charge to Profit & loss.
reserve is actually a part of profit. the actual profit is divided into different reserves so that they can be used for specific purposes for which those reserve have been created. but provision is an expense that will be incurred in future. the liability of incurring expense is sure but the amount of expense is not sure, thats why provision is created.
