In the income statement, it will be setoff against each other because it is reversed in the same year. There will be no tax consequences and a disclosure for the amounts reversed should be made. 

Provision for doubtful debts Rs.50,000 is created in the financial year 2018-19 and if same was claimed as expenses in the same year (i.e allowed in that year as expenses), but in the finacial year 2019-20 same provision Rs.50,000 reversed and credited to P&L than that amount is chargeable to tax.

If provision is disallowed (i.e not claimed as expenses), than when it reversed, there is no taxable because it's already disallowed.

Simply, if allowed last time as expenses, than when reversed taxable
and disallowed last time, than not taxable when reversed
