Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle adjustments for final statements in accountancy, specifically concerning debtors and dishonoured bills. It explains that a dishonoured bill, even if partially irrecoverable, should be fully accounted for. The provision for bad debts is then calculated on the remaining debtor balance after deducting the dishonoured bill amount.

5% bad debt should be created on 30000 rupees and half dishonoured bill shall be adjusted
In the answer, 1000 is subtracted from 30000 and provision is created on the balance. that's what I couldn't figure out, like the reason.
{ it's given inside the trial balance so maybe something to do with that}
Yes on balance bad debt should be created but the dishonoured bill should be deducted 1000 rupees because provisions should be created on whole balance
A dishonoured bill is completely bad debt and hence to be written off completely.

And provision is to be calculated on balance amount i.e. Rs. 29000
