Provision for bad debts is an expense which is created by debiting the P & L A/c as it is not a real expense but a provisional expense only and provisions are created through P & L A/c.
Write off means cancelling a debt. When you pass the entry of
Bad Debts Dr.
To Debtor
then you are cancelling a Debt which is also known as write off.
