CHAPTER–2
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is a quantitative method of gaining insight into a company's liquidity, operational
efficiency, and profitability by studying its financial statements such as the balance sheet and income
statement. Ratio analysis is a cornerstone of fundamental equity analysis.
Analysts and investors make use of the methods for ratio analysis to study and evaluate the fiscal
wellbeing of businesses by closely examining the historical performance and monetary statements.
Comparative data and analysis can give an insight into the performance of the business over a given
period of time by comparing it with the industry standards. At the same time, it also measures how
well a business racks up against other businesses functioning in the same sector.
IMPORTANCE
• Ratio analysis compares line-item data from a company's financial statements to reveal
insights regarding profitability, liquidity, operational efficiency, and solvency.
• Ratio analysis can mark how a company is performing over time, while comparing a company
to another within the same industry or sector.
• While ratios offer useful insight into a company, they should be paired with other metrics, to
obtain a broader picture of a company's financial health.
6
LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS
7
Inherent Limitations of Accounting
Historical nature of information are used for calculating ratios. The reason is that the financial
statements are prepared on historical information. It is an inherent limitation of accounting. Hence,
the ratios are not necessarily be true indicators of the future.
Time lag in Calculation and Communication
The financial statements are prepared only after the completion of accounting year and then approved
by a qualified auditor. These financial statements are published after annual general body meeting is
over. It requires six months to nine months. If so, there is no use of calculation and communication of
ratios.
Window Dressing
The window dressing of financial statements is very easy. If so, the weak financial position of the
business concern may be shown as strong financial position. In such a situation, an analyst may take
wrong conclusion and decision based on the calculated ratios. Hence, it is very difficult to an outsider
to know about the window dressing made by the business concern.
Personal Bias
Different interested parties are using the same ratios in a different way. It leads to personal bias.
Nobody compel anybody in the analysis and interpretation of ratios.
Ratios on Substitutes
Ratio analysis is just a tool of financial statements. Therefore, they are meaningless if they are
segregated from the financial statements from which they are computed.
TYPES OF RATIOS:
Ratios can be classified on the basis of financial statements or on the basis of functional aspects.
8
CLASSIFICATION ON THE BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS:
1. Traditional classification
2. Functional classification
1. TRADITIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Traditional classification of ratios is done on the basis of the financial statements from which the ratios
are calculated. Under the traditional classification, the ratios are classified as:
9
Balance sheet ratio
If both items in a ratio are from balance sheet, it is classified as balance sheet ratio.
Income statement ratio
If the two items in a ratio are from income statement, it is classified as income statement
ratio.
Inter-statement ratio
If a ratio is computed with one item from income statement and another item from balance
sheet, it is called inter-statement ratio.
2. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Functional classification of ratios is based on the purpose for which ratios are computed and it is the most
commonly used classification. Under the functional classification, the ratios are classified as follows:
10
(iv) Profitability ratios
• The financial statement of Tata Motors ltd. Company to derive the Ratios for the year 2019,
2020 and 2021. I calculate ratios for the three years which is given by my instructor .
• Learned application of ratio through financial statements of real companies.
• Analysing the ratio and comparing with previous year and current year.
• Calculation includes, o Profitability o Liquidity o Solvency
CHALLENGES FACED:
• Doubts raise on Calculation of ratio in real trial balance.
• Calculation related to Equity shareholders fund.
• Calculation related to return on preference dividend.

CHAPTER – 3
TAX DEDUCTED AT SOURCE
The concept of TDS was introduced with an aim to collect tax from the very source of income.
As per this concept, a person who is liable to make payment of specified nature to any other
person shall deduct tax at source and remit the same into the account of the Central
Government. The deducted from whose income tax has been deducted at source would be
entitled to get credit of the amount so deducted on the basis of Form 26AS or TDS certificate
issued by the deducted.
TYPES OF TDS:
12
Objectives of income tax deducted at source
• To enable the salaried people to pay the tax as they earn every month. This helps the
salaried persons in paying the tax in easy installments and avoids the burden of a lump
sum payment.
• To collect the tax at the time of payment of income to various assesses such as contractors,
professionals etc.
• Government requires funds throughout the year. Hence, advance tax and tax deducted at
source help the government to get funds throughout the year and run the government.
TDS rates on salary are the same as the tax slab rates applicable to individuals. If you are less
than 60 years of age, your TDS liability will be nil in case your income is less than Rs.2.5 lakh.
Individuals who earn between Rs.2.5 lakh and Rs.5 lakh will be subject to TDS at 5%, while
those who earn between Rs.5 lakh and Rs.10 lakh will have a TDS liability of 20%, and those
who earn more than Rs.10 lakh will be subject to a TDS rate of 30%.
Under the new tax regime, no TDS will need to be paid for an annual income of up to Rs.2.5 lakh.
In case the annual income is between Rs.2.5 lakh and Rs.5 lakh, the TDS liability is 5%. In case
the annual income is between Rs.5 lakh and Rs.7.5 lakh, the TDS liability is 10%. In case the
annual income is between Rs.7.5 lakh and Rs.10 lakh, the TDS liability is 15%. In case the annual
income is between Rs.10 lakh and Rs.12.5 lakh, the TDS liability is 20%. In case the annual
income is between Rs.12.5 lakh and Rs.15 lakh, the TDS liability is 25%. In case the annual
income is above Rs.15 lakh, the TDS liability is 30%.
A person is liable for Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) at 1% at the time of payment of the transfer
of virtual digital assets.
It is proposed to amend the amount on which TDS should be deducted. The person buying the
property should deduct tax at 1% on the sum paid/credited or the stamp duty value of such
property, whichever is higher.
13
New Section 194R
TDS at 10% should be deducted by any person who provides perks or benefits, whether
convertible into money or not, to any resident for carrying out any business or profession
by such resident.
TDS is deducted on the following types of payments:
• Salaries
• Interest payments by banks
• Commission payments
• Rent payments
• Consultation fees
• Professional fees
However, individuals are not required to deduct TDS when they make rent payments or pay fees
TDS is one kind of advance tax. It is tax that is to be deposited with the government periodically
and the onus of the doing the same on time lies with the deductor.
For the deductee, the deducted TDS can be claimed in the form of a tax refund after they file
their ITR.
TDS RETURN
A deductor has to deposit the deducted TDS to the government and the details of the same have
to be filed in the form of a TDS return.
A TDS return has to be filed quarterly. Different types of TDS deductions have to be filed using
different TDS return forms.
14
RATE OF TDS UNDER SECTION 194J
1. No TDS should be deducted under section 194J if the amount paid or likely to be paid
during the financial year does not exceed Rs. 30,000.
2. TDS is liable to be deducted by all class of persons except Individuals and HUF. However,
if such Individual/HUF is liable to get his tax audit conducted under Section 44AB for the
previous financial year, this exception won’t be applicable and they would also be required
to deduct TDS under Section 194J.
15
SECTION 194J ON TDS
• Under Section 194J, Rs.30,000 is the maximum limit which is applicable to each item or
payment independently.
• TDS under this section is also applicable on commission or remuneration or fees given to a
company’s director, even though the amount is not a part of the main salary. In these cases,
the Rs.30,000 limit is not applicable.
This section provides for a number of additional deductions like investment in mutual funds,
senior citizens saving schemes, purchase of NABARD bonds, etc.
16
The above figure is FORM 27A which shows a summary of e-TDS/TCS return (Form 24Q, 26Q,27Q
& 27EQ), which contains control totals of ‘Amount Paid’, ‘Income tax deducted at source’& ‘Tax
Deposited (Total challan amount)’. The control totals mentioned on Form 27A should match with the
corresponding control totals in e-TDS/TCS return file.

CONCLUSION
This Internship has been a very useful experience for me. I can safely say
that my understanding of the job environment has increased greatly. However, I do
think that there are some aspects of the Job that I could have done better and that I
need to work on. The two main things that I learned after my experience in this
auditing firm are the importance of time management and being self-motivated.
