Quick Summary
This discussion explores the correct accounting treatment for recovered bad debts. Participants debate whether the recovered amount should be credited to the current year's profit and loss account or a separate P&L adjustment account. One suggestion is to credit it to the provision for bad and doubtful debts account.

Once again i make final entries. Monthly income statements also have the same accounting heads. Tax wise you need to pay it back and im not sure what the entries are. This is what i complained about governance. These people lower caste and poor people ruined all of making thing things complex for professionals. The CEO'S look for cheap factors of production and everything goes haywire. The indian p olice are also b.com and indian politicians are failed candidates looking for public money

Just follow dual aspect

Bad debt recovered is credited to provision for bad and doubtful debts.
Some open up profit and loss adjustment account .
