2. Working Capital
• Meaning:-
1. Working capital typically means the firm’s holding of
current or short-term assets such as cash, receivables,
inventory and marketable securities.
2. These items are also referred to as circulating capital
3. Corporate executives devote a considerable amount of
attention to the management of working capital.
3. Working Capital management
Working capital management is concerned with the
problems that arise in attempting to manage the current
assets, the current liabilities and the interrelations that exist
between them.
4. Current Assets
• Current assets refer to those assets which in the ordinary
course of business can be, or will be, converted into cash
within one year without undergoing a diminution in value
and without disrupting the operations of the firm.
• Examples- cash, marketable securities, accounts
receivable and inventory.
5. Current Liabilities
• Current liabilities are those liabilities which are intended,
at their inception, to be paid in the ordinary course of
business, within a year, out of the current assets or the
earnings of the concern.
• Examples- accounts payable, bills payable, bank
overdraft and outstanding expenses.
6. Nayak Committee norms
For computation of working capital limits
• Banks in India have evolved their own method of lending
as they have been given free hand by the Central Bank
(that is RBI) to decide the lending methods.
• The method of assessment of working capital limits up to
Rs.2 crore (Rs.7.50 Crore for SME) assessed under turn over
method is called as limits assessed under Nayak
Committee Norms.
• Under turnover method the aggregate fund based
working capital limits are computed on the basis
of Minimum of 20% of their projected annual turnover.
• The borrower has to bring margin of 5% of the annual turn-
over of such borrowers as margin money.
7. Recommendations
• The following types of loans and advances are
considered as working capital finance.
1. Cash Credit/ Overdraft against inventories and book
debts.
2. Demand Loan portion under Loan System for Delivery
of Bank Credit
• If, permissible bank finance is Rs.10 Crore and above.
1. Packing Credit against inventories.
2. Bills purchased /Discounted (inland & foreign)
3. Cash Credit against book debts/Cheque purchase.
4. Working capital term loan (for excess borrowing)
8. Tandon Committee
To frame guidelines for bank credit
• Findings of the committee were as follows:
1. The banks do not have any credit appraisal or planning.
It is the borrower who decides how much he would
borrow.
2. The security-based approach to lending has led to
division of funds to purchase of fixed assets.
3. Bank credit is treated as the first source of finance rather
than being taken as a supplementary to other sources of
finance.
4. The working capital finance should be made available
only for a short period, as it has otherwise, led to
accumulation of inventories with the industry.
9. Recommendations
1. Inventory and receivable norms
2. Lending norms or Maximum Permissible Bank
Finance (MPBF)
3. Style of Credit
4. Information and Reporting System
10. Recommendations
• First Method of Lending:
Banks can work out the working capital gap, i.e.
total current assets less current liabilities other than
bank borrowings (called Maximum Permissible Bank
Finance or MPBF) and finance a maximum of 75 per
cent of the gap; the balance to come out of long-
term funds, i.e., owned funds and term borrowings.
This approach was considered suitable only for very
small borrowers i.e. where the requirements of credit
were less than Rs.10 lacs
11. Recommendations
• Second Method of Lending:
Under this method, it was thought that the borrower
should provide for a minimum of 25% of total current
assets out of long-term funds i.e., owned funds plus
term borrowings. A certain level of credit for
purchases and other current liabilities will be
available to fund the build up of current assets and
the bank will provide the balance (MPBF).
Consequently, total current liabilities inclusive of
bank borrowings could not exceed 75% of current
assets. RBI stipulated that the working capital needs
of all borrowers enjoying fund based credit facilities
of more than Rs. 10 lacs should be appraised
(calculated) under this method.
12. Recommendations
• Third Method of Lending:
Under this method, the borrower's contribution from
long term funds will be to the extent of the entire
CORE CURRENT ASSETS, which has been defined by
the Study Group as representing the absolute
minimum level of raw materials, process stock,
finished goods and stores which are in the pipeline
to ensure continuity of production and a minimum of
25% of the balance current assets should be
financed out of the long term funds plus term
borrowings.
13. Conclusion
• Different types of suggestions and
recommendations were provided to the Reserve
Bank of India on the Working capital.
• These all inputs were useful for the RBI to frame the
lending policy for the Banks and to make the
suitable amendments from time to time.
