Introduction
The working capital is the life-blood and nerve centre of a business firm. The
importance of working capital in any industry needs no special emphasis. No
business can run effectively without a sufficient quantity of working capital. It is
crucial to retain right level of working capital. Working capital management is one of
the most important functions of corporate management. A business enterprise with
ample working capital is always in a position to avail advantages of any favorable
opportunity either to buy raw materials or to implement a special order or to wait for
enhanced market status. Working capital can be utilized for the payment of lease,
employee's payroll, and pretty much any other operating costs that are involved in
the everyday life of business. Even very successful business owners may need
working capital funds when the unexpected circumstances arise. The overall
success of the company depends upon its working capital position. So, it should be
handled properly because it shows the efficiency and financial strength of company.
amount of working capital varies across firms over the periods depending upon the
nature of the business, nature of raw material used, process technology used, nature
of finished goods, degree of competition in the market, scale of operation, credit
policy etc. Therefore, a significant amount of fund is required to invest permanently
in the form of different current assets.
To test how fast the banks have been able to improve their respective level of
efficiency in working capital management with respect to a targeted level (average
among the banks).
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Banking in India has its origin as carry as the Vedic period. It is believed that the transition
from money lending to banking must have occurred even before Manu, the great Hindu jurist,
who has devoted a section of his work to deposits and advances and laid down rules relating
to the interest. During the mogul period, the indigenous bankers played a very important role
in lending money and financing foreign trade and commerce. During the days of East India
Company, it was to turn of the agency houses top carry on the banking business. The general
bank of India was the first joint stock bank to be established in the year 1786.The others
which followed were the Bank of Hindustan and the Bengal Bank. The Bank of Hindustan is
reported to have continued till 1906, while the other two failed in the meantime. In the first
half of the 19th Century the East India Company established three banks; The Bank of Bengal
in 1809, The Bank of Bombay in 1840 and The Bank of Madras in 1843.These three banks
also known as presidency banks and were independent units and functioned well. These three
banks were amalgamated in 1920 and The Imperial Bank of India was established on the 27 th
Jan 1921, with the passing of the SBI Act in 1955, the undertaking of The Imperial Bank of
India was taken over by the newly constituted SBI. The Reserve Bank which is the Central
Bank was created in 1935 by passing of RBI Act 1934, in the wake of swadeshi movement, a
number of banks with Indian Management were established in the country namely Punjab
National Bank Ltd, Bank of India Ltd, Canara Bank Ltd, Indian Bank Ltd, The Bank of
Baroda Ltd, The Central Bank of India Ltd .On July 19 th 1969, 14 Major Banks of the
country were nationalized and in 15th April 1980 six more commercial private sector banks
were also taken over by the government. The Indian Banking industry, which is governed by
the Banking Regulation Act of India 1949, can be broadly classified into two major
categories, non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks. Scheduled Banks comprise
commercial banks and the co-operative banks
population now requires minimal time and space for its banking needs. Automated teller
machines or popularly known as ATM are the three alphabet that have changed the concept
of banking like nothing before. Instead of tellers handling your own cash, today there are
efficient machines that don’t talk but just dispense cash. Under the Reserve Bank of India Act
1934, banks are classified as scheduled banks and non-scheduled banks. The scheduled banks
are those, which are entered in the Second Schedule of RBI Act, 1934. Such banks are those,
which have paid- up capital and reserves of an aggregate value of not less then Rs.5 lakhs and
which satisfy RBI that their affairs are carried out in the interest of their depositors. All
commercial banks Indian and Foreign, regional rural banks and state co-operative banks are
Scheduled banks. Non Scheduled banks are those, which have not been included in the
Second Schedule of the RBI Act, 1934.
The organized banking system in India can be broadly classified into three categories: (i)
Commercial Banks (ii) Regional Rural Banks and (iii) Co-operative banks. The Reserve
Bank of India is the supreme monetary and banking authority in the country and has the
responsibility to control the banking system in the country. It keeps the reserves of all
commercial banks and hence is known as the “Reserve Bank”.

Every bank attempts to lure costomers away from competitors bank customer what the best
services at the lowest rates at the fastest pace thus,the competitive Rivalry is very high for
SBI.
India's banking sector regularly reforms also limit the presence of foreign bank in
Indian,future lowering this threat for SBI.Thus,the threat of new entrants is low of SBI.
The suppliers of SBI can be divided into two categories, first are those who supply materials
like stationery and other required good and second category are the service providers.The
human resource the suppliers are in large number making the switching cost of SBI very
low.Second category can be attracted by other bank with better offers of employment over
all, the bargaining power of the suppliers against SBI is low.
SBI is not in a position to attempts to influence the customers or raise its Service changes.
Therefore,the bargaining power of the buyers against SBI is high.
Many companies such as Microsoft Sony,and General motors offer financing solution to
customers who buy in bulk or buy big ticket items however,due to the large size of SBI these
substitutes present only a mild threat against SBI.

WORKING CAPITAL
MANAGEMENT
The amount invested in accounts like plant and machinery, building, furniture etc.
blocked on permanent bases is called fixed capital. Organization not only requires fixed
capital but also need of fund to meet day-to-day operations for short term purpose such funds
is called working capital.
A Study of working capital is of major part external and internal analysis because of
its close relationship with current day to day operation business. Working capital consists
broadly for the position or the assets of the business that are used at related current operations
and it’s represented by raw material. Stores, work in process and finished goods merchandise,
note or bills receivable.
According to Gerestenberg working capital as, “circulating capital means current assets of a
company that are change in the ordinary course of business from one form to another as for
example, from cash to inventories, inventories to receivables and receivables to cash.”
According toShubin “Working capital is the amount of funds necessary to cover the cost of
operating the enterprise.”
The need for working capital (gross) or current assets cannot be over emphasized. As the
objective of financial decision making is to maximize the shareholder’s wealth, it is necessary
to generate sufficient profits. The extent to which profits can be earned will naturally depend
upon the magnitude of the sales, among other things. A successful sales program is, in other
words, necessary for earning profits by any business enterprise. However, sales do not
convert into cash instantly; there is invariably a time lag between the sale of goods and the
receipt of cash. There is, therefore, a need for working capital in the form of current assets to
deal with the problem arising out of the lack of immediate realization of cash against goods
sold. Therefore, sufficient working capital is necessary to sustain sales activity.
Technically, this is referred to as the operating or cash-cycle. The operating cycle can be said
to be at the heart of the need for working capital. The continuing flow from cash to suppliers,
to inventory, to accounts receivable and back into cash. The cycle refers to the length of time
necessary to complete the following cycle of events:
1) Conversion of cash into inventory.
2) Conversion of raw materials into work in progress
3) Conversion of work in progress into finished goods
4) Conversion of finished goods into account receivable
5) Conversion of account receivable into cash
MEASURING TOOLS
The project titled Working capital is the analysis of the Working capital ratio (Current
ratio) at Tata Hitachi Equipment Construction Company Limited.
• It enables a company to avail cash discounts on the purchase and hence, it reduces
costs.
• It enables to make regular payments of salaries, wages and other day-to-day
commitments which raise the morale of its employees, increases their efficiency.
1. Value Based
Gross working capital refers to the firm’s total investment in current assets.
Current assets are the assets which can be converted into cash within an accounting year and
include cash, short-term securities, debtors, bills receivable and stock.
Net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders which are expected to mature for payment within
an accounting year and include creditors, bills payable and outstanding expenses
Time based
Permanent/Fixed Working Capital
Uninterrupted Production
A firm paying its suppliers on time will also benefit from a regular flow of raw
materials, ensuring that the production remains uninterrupted and clients receive their goods
on time.
Efficient working capital management will help a firm to survive through a crisis or
ramp up production in case of an unexpectedly large order.
Competitive Advantage
Firms with an efficient supply chain will often be able to sell their products at a
discount versus similar firms with inefficient sourcing.
Nature of Business:
The requirement of working capital also varies among the enterprises depending upon the
nature of the business. For instance, trading companies require more working capital than
manufacturing companies. This is because that the trading business requires large quantities
of goods to be held in stock and also carry large amounts of working capital than
manufacturing concerns.
In both these types of businesses, the value of current assets is 80% to 90% of the value of
total assets. The investment in current assets is relatively smaller in the case of hotels and
restaurants because they mostly have cash sales, and only small amounts of debtors’
balances.
Current Asset
Current assets are all the assets of the company that are expected to be sold or used as a result
of standard business operations over the next year.Current assets include cash, cash
equivalents, account receivable, stock inventory, marketable securities, prepaid liabilities, and
other liquid assets.
Current liabilities
In accounting, Current Liabilities are often understood as all liabilities of the business that are
to be settled cash with in the fiscal year or the operating cycle of a given firm, whichever
period is longer.

CONCLUSION
The project undertaken at State Bank Of India was on the topic “A Study on Working Capital
Management”.
As per the project undertaken we can see that there are certain areas the
company has to focus more to improve its liquidity position. After analysis of the last 10
years data of the company and through studying the financial ratio it can be seen that the
company has some problems but is still in a better position.
Lastly I would say that I have tried my level best to study and suggest to the
best of my knowledge. I have given my sincere effort for completion of my project.
