Answer / surya kumar
At the first step the provision for doubtful debt should be
shown on the debit side of the frofit & loss account
correspondingly on the liability side of the Balance Sheet
(normally it is being netted off against Sundry Debtors for
disclosure purpose). After 2-3 years when the organisation
feels that there is no chance of recovery then the
provision shoud be written off against the amout
recoverable from debtors .
The case is just reverse in case of sundry creditors ,
whose demand is int acknowledge or whose whereabout is not
known.

Answer / chaitanya
Bad debts is the cause for creating provision for
baddebts,when a person feels the amount cannot be returned
then its going to be a baddebt,as a precautionary measure
he opens a provision for baddebts for fullfilling a minimum
amount with himself.so obviously we hae to show baddebts
on debit side of P&l a/c and provisions on credit side of
p&l a/c.
