Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to handle a significant debtor balance of 54 lakh from a business that closed in 2019. The recommended approach is to write off the outstanding amount as bad debt. This involves debiting the bad debts account in the profit and loss statement and crediting the debtors account, effectively making the debtor balance nil and reducing profit.

If you are sure that the business is closed and there is no chance of recovery, you can transfer the amount to bad debts. You can debit the bad debts in profit & loss account and credit your debtors. The debtors would be Nil and your profit will also reduce.
