It is prudence concept deal in AS 4. When you assess the debtors then you know some debtors are not considered as good, it is happen year by year. Then you made provision for such loss i.e. know as Provision for doubtfull debts. it is charged in SPL. THis is judgement so it is done on year ends..
When later year you know what exact amount of debtors did not made paymnet, then you such loss charged on provision for doubtfull debts, if amount exceed from doubtfull debt then excess amount charged in SPL.

Hello,
If you are sure that you can't further receive any amounts from a particular debtor, you treat it as bad debt and you are supposed to pass the following entry:
Bad debts a/c -------Dr
To Debtor's account
Whereas if you skeptical if particular debtor makes payments. Then you need to create a provision by passing the following entry:
Year -1:
P& L a/c ---------- Dr
Provision for bad debts
Somewhere down the line you got to know that the particular debtor became insolvent and there is no chance recover any amount from him. Then you treat it as Bad debt and pass the following entry:
Bad debts a/c -------Dr
Provision for bad debts
Here bad debts are adjusted from already created Provision and no effect on profits.
Hope I cleared your doubts.
