Hi Rajat,

Liability to Deduct TDS arise on EARLIST OF FOLLOWING EVENTS:-

                    a) Credit to supplier ( Entry :-  Expense a/c........Dr

                                                                                      To Creditor A/c )

                                            or

                    b) Payment to supplier ( Entry :- Creditor a/c ..................Dr

                                                                                                      To Bank A/c)

But in case of Provision there is neither Credit nor Payment,

Entry : -Expense a/c...................Dr

                         To Provision for Expenses

Hence there is no TDS Implication on Provisions..

Now, You might be wondering that how easy is this to avoid/ defer the deduction of TDS that instead of crediting to the account of creditor, expenses should be credited to Provision for Expenses A/c..

BUT MY FRIEND  REMEMBER ONE THING THAT PROVISIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED AS DEDUCTION UNDER INCOME TAX ACT (Except in case of Rural Bank Branches)
