Answer / dj
Debts which cannot be recovered or become irrecoverable are
called Bad Debts. It is a loss for the business.For
example,if Sundry debtors on 31st March, 2007 are 55,200,
bad debts on that date are Rs.200,Entry passed is:
Bad Debts a/c Dr. 200 -
To Sundry Debtors a/c - 200
The two-fold effect of bad debts will be that bad debts will be:
(1) Shown on the debit side of Profit & Loss Account, and
(2) Shown on the asset side of the Balance Sheet by way of
deduction from Sundry Debtors.

In business there are some sundry debtors who did not turn-up
and clear their balances and are hard to be recovered. The
amount lying with these debtors are known as bad debts.
Entry in P/L Account. Bad debts are shown in the debit side
of the P/L account.
Entry in Balance Sheet. Sundry debtors will be less by bad
debts amount.
