20 May 2013 In case of company there are no partners, they are shareholders. If it related to the partnership firm then the debts are incurred by the firm and accordingly it is to be written off as Bad debts and on recovery it is to be sown as bad debts recovery and credited to the Profit and Loss account. It cannot be transferred to Partner's Capital Account and at the time of reovery it cannot be sown as other income
