Provision for Bad Debts is purely the management/proprietor decision. There is no mandatory requirement.
In case , you think that there will be bad debts during the year, provide the provision for bad debts. Otherwise, not required.

As per my knowledge, business establishment write off bad debts after 3rd year from the date of billing, - at the time of Income Tax Scrunity, Officers asked the details and on what basis v provide bad debts etc., Instead of debit bad debts, debit Discount Allowed Account, it would not catch the Officer's eye more.
