As far as Accounts is concerned:
When you are certain that amount is no more recoverable, you have to account for as bad-debt in current year irrespective of amount involved and it's impact on current year bottom line. In case of otherwise you are deviating from accounting standards and auditor may qualify his audit report.
As far as Income Tax concerned:
3 Year is not an issue for claiming it as bad-debt. When ever you are writing off an account which has already routed through P & L account in any previous year or current year ,there will be no objection of tax authorities. You can absolutely claim it as expense.

Bad debts can be only claimed only when it is written off.
Also in a recent case law of Vijaya Bank Ltd. given by Honourable supereme court, even provision will be allowed as bad debt if you deduct the same from the debtors balance in the balance sheet side.
