Answer Posted / h.r. sreepada bhagi

Bad and doubtful debts shall be taken care of while closing
the books of accounts periodically.

Example entry for bad debts:-
Bad debts written off Dr. (P&L A/c)
M/s.ABC Ltd.(Name of the Customer) Cr. (B/S A/c under CA)

Example entry for doubtful debts:-
Bad debts written off Dr. (This is a P&L A/c)
Provision for bad debts Cr. (B/S A/c)
