Detailed Solution & Explanation

Under AS 9 (Revenue Recognition):
1. Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the collection of the sales proceeds.
2. At the time of sale (1st Jan 2024), collection was certain, so full revenue of 50\displaystyle `\,50 lakhs is recognized.
3. Subsequently, the customer goes into liquidation in March 2024. The unpaid amount of 40\displaystyle `\,40 lakhs (after 20% payment of 10\displaystyle `\,10 lakhs) becomes uncollectible.
4. Under AS 9, this unrealized amount must be written off as bad debts (debited to the Profit & Loss A/c) rather than reversing the revenue.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
