Answer 1

You can use the function ifnull() to convert the NULL to a 0 and just calculate with that.

SELECT 
  IFNULL(
    ( SELECT SUM(amount) 
        FROM bank_credit 
        WHERE bank_name='IDBI'
    ), 0
  )
  - 
  IFNULL(
    (
      SELECT SUM(amount) 
        FROM bank_debit 
        WHERE bank_name='IDBI' 
    ), 0
  ) AS idbi;

Take a look at the behaviour of the isnull() with this query:

select 
  ifnull( (select 1), 0)    - ifnull( (select 1), 0)    as 1_1,
  ifnull( (select 1), 0)    - ifnull( (select 0), 0)    as 1_0,
  ifnull( (select 1), 0)    - ifnull( (select NULL), 0) as 1_NULL,
  ifnull( (select 0), 0)    - ifnull( (select 1), 0)    as 0_1,
  ifnull( (select NULL), 0) - ifnull( (select 1), 0)    as NULL_1,
  ifnull( (select NULL), 0) - ifnull( (select NULL), 0) as NULL_NULL
;
