1.1 OVERVIEW OF INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE

The Beginning…

Oil is one of the most important factors contributing to the economic


development of a country. The production and consumption of oil in a country has
become a barometer of the country’s economic growth and prosperity.
When India became independent, it had just one refinery at Digboi. This refinery,
owned by the Assam Oil Company, processed the entire production of less than 0.3
million tones. The country’s annual oil consumption was less than 3 million tones. For
over 90% of its needs, it was dependent on imports. But the thrust of India’s rapid
economic growth and quick pace of industrialization demanded more and more
petroleum products.
With the advent of economic planning three refineries were set up, to process
crude oil, by international oil companies; two at Bombay in 1954 and 1955 and the third
at Vishakhapatnam in 1957. But, this wasn’t enough. India had to build up her own
resources to minimize her dependence on foreign imports.
Prime Minister, Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru declared in India’s Parliament on May
26,1956 “Oil is of vast importance in the world today. A country that does not produce
its own oil today is in a weak position. From the point of view of defence, the absence of
oil is a fatal weakness.”
So, in order to protect national interest, the Government of India decided to
establish a nationally owned and controlled oil industry in India under the Ministry of
Petroleum and Chemicals. The Oil and Natural Gas Commission and Oil India Limited
were formed to search for oil in 1956 and 1959 respectively. To refine crude oil, Indian

Refineries Limited was set up in August 1958. To market it, government set up
the Indian Oil Company in July 1959 as state owned oil-marketing company.

upgradation as well as in integration and diversification projects.

Network Beyond Compare

As the flagship national oil company in the downstream sector,


IndianOil reaches precious petroleum
products to millions of people everyday through a countrywide
network of about 34,000 sales points.
They are backed for supplies by 166 bulk storage terminals and
depots, 101 aviation fuel stations and
89 Indane (LPGas) bottling plants. About 7,100 bulk consumer pumps are also in operation
for the
convenience of large consumers, ensuring products and inventory at their doorstep.

IndianOil operates the largest and the widest network of petrol & diesel stations in the
country,
numbering over 17,600. It reaches Indane cooking gas to the doorsteps of over 50 million
households

10
in nearly 2,700 markets through a network of about 5,000 Indane distributors.

IndianOil's ISO-9002 certified Aviation Service commands over 62% market share in
aviation fuel
business, meeting the fuel needs of domestic and international flag carriers, private airlines
and the
Indian Defence Services. The Corporation also enjoys a dominant share of the bulk consumer
business,
including that of railways, state transport undertakings, and industrial, agricultural and
marine sectors.

1.3 Competition Information

14
The major competitors of IOC are HPCL & BPCL. To overcome the increasing
competition and to become the market’s no.1 holder, IOC is spending a lot on
advertisement also. It improves the image of the organization and also gives
information about the company to the common man.

1.4 SWOT ANALYSIS

15
For a long time the company had monopoly in the downstream sector but with the
changing time, more and more private and multinational companies are entering the
sector, IOC is facing competition. But with the vast distribution and pipeline network, it
will have an edge over them. The following analysis throws light on the various facets of
the present position of IndianOil.

STRENGTHS

• Most powerful player- IOC being the only Indian Company to be listed and
ranked 191 in the fortune global 500 companies holds a strong brand image. It is
the most powerful petroleum corporate in the downstream sector. It owns 7 out of
the 17 refineries of the country in public sector contributing to 55% of the
nation’s requirements.

• Experience- IndianOil has been in the petroleum sector for the past 41 years.
During these years it has gathered a lot of valuable expertise and learned the trick
of trade, the tougher way. It has enjoyed unlimited protection and nurturing from
the government, which helped it grow and gain a substantial hold of the market.

DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

This experience will be valued more as and when it will face competition with the
upcoming firms in the sector.

• Pipeline network- IndianOil has a pipeline network of 6268 kms throughout the
country running right from Guwahati in the East to Kanda in the West. It also

16
reaches the Northern Region to Jallandar and plans to extend till Udhampur. This
decreases the transportation

• cost to a great extent for the company. This is a major advantage as the other
private refineries coming up will have very little or no
transporting both crude oil as well as finished products. So IndianOil has a
natural edge over these companies.

• Distribution infrastructure- The Company operates the largest marketing network


of 19000 sale points in the country. It has 5026 captive consumer outlets and 52
jubilee retail outlets. It has over 3000 LPG distributorships bottled in 50 bottling
plants throughout the country. It also owns 92 Aviation Fuel Stations and 1294
SERVO shops across the nation. It also handles 853 tankers. This facilitates
uninterrupted supply of products throughout the year. Such extensive distribution
network is nothing but the muscles of the organization making it stronger and
tougher to compete with others. The wide distribution network of the corporation
takes care of the imports and exports.

• Rural reach- in rural areas it has 231 multipurpose distribution centers. IndianOil
has over 100 Indane LPG distributorship commissioned in rural and semi-rural
areas. This helps to cater to the need of population of rural, remote and far flung
areas constituting about 75% of the country’s population.
DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

WEAKNESSES

• Government’s control- The functioning of IOC is greatly influenced by the


government’s policy and regulations. The government has 82% stake in the
company, thus, gaining the control of the company. There is always a risk of its

17
proposal being rejected as there is uncertain political environment prevailing in
the country.

• Large size- IndianOil is a huge organization having its head office at Mumbai, 4
regional offices, 15 state offices, 44 divisional offices and 33 area offices. It
employs 30162 employees in various levels of organizational hierarchy. This
leads to slowing down of processes and inefficient performance due to numerous
departmental layers. Handling such large pool of human resource and
channelizing their skills in a direction same as that of the organization is not an
easy task. This hinders the fast growth required by the organization.

• People’s perception- In our country, the perception of the corporate and


consumers towards government organizations and offices is not favorable,
hence though IOC is the only Fortune 500 company and has grown by leaps and
bounds, it is still viewed as an inefficient company, not getting the due
importance.

• Retail market share- Even though IOC controls most of the retail outlets it has
market share of only 33.8% in petrol and 39.6% in diesel registering an increase
of 0.5% and 0.3% respectively over the last year. This is comparatively very
small as compared to its size, reach and production. This is because of the fact
that its retail outlets are concentrated more in semi-urban areas and rural areas
DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

OPPORTUNITIES

• More revenue- with the dismantling of APM by 2002, IOC will be able to fix the
prices of its products without government intervention resulting in an upsurge in
the revenue earned. Firstly, the new players will use the infrastructure facilities
provided by IOC and pay for the services rendered; for example, IOCL has signed

18
the marketing rights agreement for 10 years with RPL. Secondly, by reducing the
existing prices to the permissible extent and providing better facilities. This will
help them capture more market share making it harder for the new players to grab
the market.

• Modernization- The liberation of the economy has attracted many foreign players
to invest in our country. Again, with the liberalization of the oil economy, more
and more MNC’s are entering the sector. They will bring with them the latest
technology available. IOCL can utilize their services by means of joint ventures,
collaborations and tie-ups, for modernization and capacity augmentation of its
plants and refineries increasing the quality as well as the quantity of its product

• Intensifying infrastructure- the competitors entering the sector are still not fully
operational. While they are building up there infrastructure IOC should grab the
opportunity to extend and strengthen it in deficient areas. It can modernize its
plants and augment its capacity, extend pipelines to central and southern regions
facilitating cheaper transport in those areas. Also more jubilee retail outlets,
which are state-of-the-art, should be commissioned in different parts of the
country for greater customer satisfaction.
DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

THREATS

• Tastes of competition- as we are closing in on the dismantling of APM we


already see a lot of private participation in the sector. With the government
opening the upstream sector and taking away the sole right of distribution from
PSU’s, private players see a lot of scope for business. As a result Reliance has
already entered the field and has started production and ESSAR refineries is
following suite. If these companies are able to do profitable business in this sector
then other national and multinational companies will also be lured into this field.

19
IOC’s shift from a monopoly in the protected environment to a free market will
not be easy.

• Price wars- In this free market operation, where all the firms have the full liberty
to control the prices of their products, a price war is certain to happen in the near
future, since this will be a major factor in determining their market share. If
MNC’s with deep pockets decide to enter this sector then they may be able to
make this war tougher by cutting down prices even below the permissible level,
initially to capture market share.

• Better-equipped competitors- The new players will give tough competition, as


they will have latest technology and more advanced research and development
resources, skills and expertise. They will have better and more efficient machines
capable of producing more and better. They will have easy access to foreign
markets due to their global presence and standards

1. STRATEGY:

Strategies can be defined as the policies or the guidelines, which are being used in any
organization. Strategies of any company can be changed with the change in business
atmosphere or the increase in the competition. But there can be some strategies in the
organization, which will remain the same over a period of time because of their nature.

Internal Strategies:

• To provide the quality products.


• To provide various schemes to the customers as already launched like IOC Extra
and Credit Card etc.

22
• To provide the products with best satisfaction to the retailers (Industries,
Aviation) as well as to the customers.
• To concentrate more on customer orientation than profit maximization.
• To provide better working environment to the employees to attract the potential
employees as well as satisfy the present employees.

Broad Area:

• IOCL has been developed all over the country. There is no area left in
the country where Indian Oil doesn’t have its retail outlets. It has its retail outlets
not only in urban area but also in rural areas .It has its retail outlets in under
DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

developed areas like J&K, Himachal Pradesh, Leh etc. where the means of
transportation is very costly as well as rare. In J&K in spite of terrorism and
Kargil war, Indian Oil has provided the required oil without fear. So it has helped
in nation’s security and integration also.

• Indian Oil is providing its services to Airlines also. Aviation is one of the major
customers of the company and it is providing the best quality product to Airlines.
It is providing the facility inside the Airport only so that the requirements can be
met at any time.

EXPORTS:

23
• IndianOil exports its products mainly to Kenya, Bangladesh, and Dubai etc. Most
of the times the NAPHTA is being exported to these countries. But the company
has to face losses on these exports. Though it has a big domestic market, at times

• in case of excess the products are exported.It also exports Lubricants to Dubai,
Kenya etc. with profits because of regular dealings with these countries.

2. STYLE:

Since with the increase in the competition and new inventions, training has become the
necessity of any organization. IndianOil’s employees are being trained from time to time
as per requirement. The various measures of training adopted in IOC are:

DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

• Off the job training.


• Lecture system.
• Group discussion.
• Seminars etc.

Since all these measures of training are indirect and less motivating because the
employees are not actually put into work. So the company should try to adopt the system
of On the Job Training where the employees are actually given hands on work for what
they are being trained. This system is more effective and motivating than any other
system

24
3. SKILLS:

The term Recruitment means to attract the potential employees to apply in the
organization. It is also one of the most important systems in any organization. The
success of any company depends on its employees. In IOC people are being recruited on
the basis of the qualification required for the particular job.

The written examinations are conducted as per the requirements and the selected
candidates are called for an interview. There are no direct placements in the company.

First division professional degree holders and Post Graduates from relevant disciplines
are recruited as management/engineering trainees, officers, accountants, medical officers,
lab officers, system officers, communication officers, scientists etc.

CONCEPTUAL DISCUSSION

CASH MANAGEMENT

Cash Management is a marketing term for certain services offered primarily to larger
business customers. It is used to describe all bank accounts (such as checking accounts)
provided to businesses of a certain size, but it is more often used to describe specific services
such as cash concentration , zero balance accounting and automated clearing house facilities.

Cash Management Services


The following is a list of services generally offered by banks and utilized by larger
businesses and corporations:

• Account Reconcilement Services: Balancing a checkbook can be a


difficult process for a very large business, since it issues so many checks it can take a lot of
human monitoring to understand which checks have not cleared and therefore what the
company's true balance is. To get around this, banks have developed a system which allows
companies to upload a list of all the checks that they issue on a daily basis, so that at the end
of the month the bank statement will show not only which checks have cleared, but also
which have not. More recently, banks have used this system to prevent checks from being
fraudulently cashed if they are not on the list, a process known as positive pay.

33
• Advanced Web Services: Most banks have an Internet-based system which is
more advanced than the one available to consumers. This enables managers to create
DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

• and authorize special internal logon credentials, allowing employees to send wires
and access other cash management features normally not found on the consumer
web site.

• Armored Car Services: Large retailers who collect a great deal of cash may
have the bank pick this cash up via an armored car company, instead of employees
depositing the cash.

• Automated Clearing House: services are usually offered by the cash


management division of a bank. The Automated Clearing House is an electronic system used
to transfer funds between banks. Companies use this to pay others, especially employees
(this is how direct deposit works). Certain companies also use it to collect funds from
customers (this is generally how automatic payment plans work). This system is the subject
of the ire of some consumer groups, because under this system all banks assume that the
company initiating the debit is correct until proven otherwise.

• Balance Reporting Services: Corporate clients who actively manage their


cash balances usually subscribe to secure web-based reporting of their account and
transaction information at their lead bank. These sophisticated compilations of banking
activity may include balances in foreign currencies, as well as those at other banks. They
include information on cash postitions as well as 'float' (e.g., checks in the process of
collection). Finally, they offer transaction-specific details on all forms of payment activity,
including deposits, checks, wire transfers, ACH (automated clearinghouse debits and
credits), investments, etc.

34
DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

• Cash Concentration Services: Large or national chain retailers often are in


areas where their primary bank does not have branches. Therefore, they open bank accounts
at various local banks in the area. To prevent funds in these accounts from being idle and not
earning sufficient interest, many of these companies have an agreement set with their
primary bank, whereby their primary bank uses the Automated Clearing House to
electronically "pull" the money from these banks into a single interest-bearing bank account.

• Lockbox services: Often companies (such as utilities) which receive a large


number of payments via checks in the mail have the bank set up a post office box for them,
open their mail, and deposit any checks found. This is referred to as a "lockbox" service.

• Positive Pay: Positive pay is a service whereby the company electronically


shares its check register of all written checks with the bank. The bank therefore will only pay
checks listed in that register, with exactly the same specifications as listed in the register
(amount, payee, serial number, etc.). This system dramatically reduces check fraud.

• Sweep Accounts: are typically offered by the cash management division of a


bank. Under this system, excess funds from a company's bank accounts are automatically
moved into a money market mutual

DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

35
fund overnight, and then moved back the next morning. This allows them to earn
interest overnight. This is the primary use of money market mutual funds.

• Zero Balance Accounting: can be thought of as somewhat of a hack.


Companies with large numbers of stores or locations can very often be confused if all those
stores are depositing into a single bank account. Traditionally, it would be impossible to
know which deposits were from which stores, without seeking to view images of those
deposits. To help this problem, banks developed a system where each store is given their
own bank account, but all the money deposited into the store account is automatically moved
into the company's main bank account. This allows the company to look at individual
statements for each store. US Banks at the present time, however, are almost all converting
their systems so that companies can tell which store made a particular deposit, even if these
deposits are all being done into one account. Therefore, zero balance accounting is being
used less frequently.

• Wire Transfer: A wire transfer is an electronic transfer of funds. Wire transfers


can be done by a simple bank account transfer, or by a transfer of cash at a cash office. Bank
wire transfers are often the most expedient method for transferring funds between bank
accounts. A bank wire transfer is a message to the receiving bank requesting them to effect
payment in accordance with the instructions given. The message also includes settlement
instructions. The actual wire transfer itself is virtually instantaneous, requiring no longer for
transmission than a telephone call.

The overview also explains the various requirements necessary for opening account at
various locations as at the end they have a lasting effect on the credit availability of the

organization. Hence while opening a location various reasons and how they effect the
cash flow has been given.

42
COLLECTION ACCOUNT

• Collection Accounts are opened for various locations and other offices for
depositing various instruments collected from customers/parties.

• Also while deciding the branch, assess the quantum of outstation cheques that are
likely to be deposited every month and accordingly get the DDP limit allocated to
the branch. This will enable to get the immediate credit for all outstation
instruments deposited in the account.

• DDP limit is a facility under which SBI purchases all outstation cheques and
gives immediate credit against them, ending actual realization of cheques from
the dealers.

• Quantum of DDP limit should be calculated estimating the value of outstation


cheque that the location will be depositing in a period of 15 days.

• For all instruments that IOCL receives, they generate a DCR (Daily Collection
Report) that acts as a receipt for the organization as it gets it stamped from the
bank, which can also act as a proof for all future references.
DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

Since we have a DDP limit, depending upon the clearinghouse arrangement for local
banking instruments, at present all cities in the country can be divided into three
different categories namely

• Day zero center


• Day one center
• Day two center

43
• In all day zero center credit and transfer of funds for local instruments is given to
us on the same day of deposit provided the instruments are deposited before the
cut off time for acceptance of instruments by the branch for presenting it in the
days clearing.

• Similarly in all day one credit and transfer of funds for local instruments is done
on the next day provided the instrument are deposited well before the cut off time
for acceptance of instrument by the branch.

However as per the understanding with SBI, credit and transfer of funds for local
instruments in all day two centers should be given to bank on day one itself. This should
be ensured by all the location of day two centers.

WITHDRAWL ACCOUNT

• All regions and state offices operate the Special Current (Withdrawal) account.
Even some major locations having monthly payments of more than Rs.1crore are
given the facility of Special Current (Withdrawal) account.

• No deposit of any instrument is permitted in this account.

• Cheques that are more than six months old should not be revalidated and the same
should be transferred to time barred cheque code.

• Care should be taken for safe keeping of computerized chequebooks printed by


us. As a precaution it is recommended not to keep stock of more than six months
requirement of computerized cheques.

• Computerized cheques should be pre-printed with “Account –Payee” only


crossing.

Regions to segregate the above data state wise in the format amenable to their bank
Reconciliation module and send the same to states for reconciliation.

2. CASH CREDIT ACCOUNT

• CCA is operated by H.O. marketing division and is a very important account of


the corporation.

48
• Only the board of directors can open a CCA upon passing a resolution to the
effect.

• Transfer of funds from all other types of accounts like collection account,
withdrawal account etc. are to CCA.

• Apart from transfer entries all payments handled by H.O. like purchase of foreign
currencies, repayment of loan availed etc. is directly debited to CCA. Similarly
loans availed for working capital purpose and major receipts handled by H.O. are
mostly credited to CCA directly.

• The limits sanctioned by SBI for the CCA are required to be renewed every year
by submitting yearly credit monitoring arrangement data in the prescribed form
by the bank. The data to be given are current and previous year’s actual and next
two years projections.

CCA as well.

• The bank balances of CCA is monitored on daily basis to ensure that the overdraft
balances do not exceed the sanctioned limit and also no surplus balances are kept
idle.

VALUEDATION

49
• As corporation maintains number of bank accounts through out the country for
different purposes like separate account for withdrawal of funds and separate
account for sales realization etc., it is pertinent to pool all this debits and credits
together to avoid idling of funds at one account and paying interest to bank on
withdrawals from another account.

• In order to pool all the debits and credit at one account, Regional Cash credit
Account were opened. Such Regional Cash Credit was opened region wise for
easy control and proper accounting.

• To overcome the drawback of time gap between transfer of funds and receipt of
funds from various collections accounts and other withdrawal accounts at
Regional Cash Credit Account, the concept of “Valuedation” was introduced.
• Under this facility the amount received at Regional Cash Credit are recorded with
the date of original transfer of amount from the Collection account or other
Withdrawal accounts.
DATE-06-02-2006

a whole on the basis of daily “Valuedated” balance of the Main Cash Credit
account by applying the effective rate of interest.

REAL TIME GROSS SETTLEMENT (R.T.G.S)

• New mode of payment Real Time Gross Settlement has been introduced

• Under these new modes, payment to suppliers &vendors is very fast and hassle
free in terms of avoiding collection/deposit of cheques and getting credit after
clearing, which exist, in the present conventional mode.

3. RAILWAY CREDIT NOTE ACCOUNT

This facility is given to us by the SBI to enable our locations to make Railway freight
payments. Under this facility, locations are authorized to make payment of Railway
freight. The bank cannot permit any other payment under this facility.

At present we have 3 ways of making payment of railway freight:

• By having a special current (withdrawal) account at the location.


• By issuing cheques of special current (withdrawal) account maintained at the RCC
branch.
• By issuing RCN.

51
OPENING OF RCN FACILITY

Request for opening of any type of RCN Account should be forwarded to Head Office
after ensuring the following aspects:
• Ensure that the Branch is able to handle the workload of our account by inquiring
about the Branch’s infrastructure, staff strength etc.
• The branch should be selected in consultation with the Railway Authorities so that
their requirements are met and IOC does not incur any bank charges.

CHECKLIST OF VARIOUS ASPECTS TO BE VERIFIED BY


REGION/LOCATION

• The chequebooks should be pre-printed with the Name of the Railway Authority to
whom payment is made. There should not be any blank cheque book/ leaf without the
name pre-printed.

52
• Region should not distribute to different locations; the cheque leafs from the same
chequebook. In other words separate chequebooks should be given to each location.

• While issuing new chequebook to the Location it should be ensured that all the
cheque leafs of the earlier chequebook are utilized and proper accounting for all
cheques is submitted by the Location.

• Proper explanation should be obtained from the Location in case of any missing
cheque number in the Bank Statement.

• Bank charges for the facility is 0.50ps per RS 100/-

DATE-06-02-2006

SUB-TELEPHONE WITH STD CONNECTION

• Reconciliation should be done on the monthly basis by the region based on statement
received from locations containing details of RCN’s issued during the month.

DISHONOUR OF INSTRUMENT

• Dishonor of instruments is one of the areas of major concern in banking activity.


Timely realization of all instruments/cheques has to be constantly and closely
monitored by all concerned and immediate corrective steps to be taken whenever
the cases of dishonor or delay in realization are noticed so that no financial losses
occur to the corporation.

53
• All debit entries for dishonor of instrument, the original instrument are
collected /obtained from the bank. This aspect is equally applicable to centers
having CMP facility.

• As soon as the dishonor of instrument is received, ensure to pass the necessary


entry immediately debiting the customer for the value of instrument along with
interest and incidental charges.

• Action to be taken for obtaining replacement cheques/DD from the concerned


party. Divisional manager to be immediately informed of the dishonor.

4. LETTER OF AUTHORITY ACCOUNT

This facility is given to our locations for making payments of particular nature i.e.,
payment to Customs and Excise authorities or payment to Port trust authorities or
payment to other refineries for cost of product.

This facility can be utilized for making various payments provided the facility is used by
the location to make payment to any one single authority.

OPENING OF A LA FACILITY

• Request for opening of a LA facility or enhancement in limits should be forwarded to


Head Office after ensuring the following:

54
• The note for opening of the account in limits should be duly approved by Finance In-
charge of the region.

• The proposal contains all necessary details like:


#IOC Location name
I#OC Location code
SBI Branch name
#SBI Branch code
#SBI Branch address
#Fortnightly/Daily LA Limit
#Nature of payment i.e., Excise duty/Customs duty/Port trust charges etc.

• LA facility should be opened in such SBI branches, which is authorized to collect


Central/Excise revenue.

• In case if in that center the authorized revenue collecting bank is other than SBI, then
the SBI branch where the facility is to be opened should be one from where the
transfer of funds to the other bank is possible in the quickest time.

• Normally the SBI branch conducting the clearinghouse in that center is able to
transfer the funds to other banks on the same day. This aspect is to be checked and
verified with the SBI branch and accordingly the branch is to be identified for
opening the LA facility.

As per our Memorandum of Understanding with SBI, it has provided us with the facility
to make payments and get collections in three ways, which are as follows:

55
1) CMP (Cash Management Product): - Almost 90% of the transactions occur through
this mode. Under this, the collections and withdrawals are transferred directly from SBI
locations to SBI CAG, Mumbai.

2) RCC (Regional Cash Credit): - Some transactions occur through the RCC mode.
Under this, the collections and withdrawals are transferred first from SBI location to
SBI CAG, New Delhi. This flow of money is known as BT1. Then from SBI CAG, New
Delhi the money is transferred to SBI CAG, Mumbai as BT2.Then we reconcile BT1
against BT2. The left over BT1’s against which no advice is received are taken up with
the respective SBI location.

3) IOCL is on its way in starting Corporate Internet Banking (CINB) with SBI. This is
because Central Vigilance Commission desires that PSUs should make maximum
number of payments through electronic modes such as ECS/EFT with an ultimate aim to
phase out the traditional modes such as cheques and DD’s.
Although ECS/EFT is used in IOCL from quite a long period of time in making
payments such as payments to retired employees, CINB is a new concept and will initiate
slowly. Payments can be made under CINB through SBI website www.onlinesbi.com.
Under this, payment of contractors can be made by IOCL by way of electronic
instructions to SBI. Even payments to
Government/private parties by regional/state offices are decided to be made through
Internet Banking System.

CHECKLIST OF VARIOUS ASPECTS TO BE VERIFIED BY


LOCATION/ REGION

56
• Locations should verify the bank charges debited by the bank to ensure that they are
in line with the charges agreed by the corporation.

• Bank reconciliation should be done on monthly basis.

• In respect of excise duty payments made by the locations care should be taken not to
issue more than 3 LA’s in a month. However, in case of custom duty and other
payments made through LA facility no such restriction is imposed.

RCC accounts are those accounts where the amount collected by the various state offices
are first transferred to the central CAG office in Delhi, and from there it is transferred to
SBI, Mumbai

CMP Account is that account, where each location passes their daily collection to SBI
Mumbai, our final cash credit account. The day end balance has to be nil.
Everyday collections are deposit through DCR (daily credit report), which is a form of
pay-in-slip. According to our understanding of MOU we need to
receive credit for high value cheques on the same day and all other cheques by the next
day.

REALISATION Statement is what we receive everyday from bank, which gives us a


picture of the total amount credited in our account in lieu of the DCR deposited.

58
Any discrepancies in the two are taken up with the bank immediately as they lead to
delay in receiving of funds which may lead to loss of interest.

RCC Papers are also received on an everyday basis, which gives a clear picture of the

month in advance. The Northern Region office takes the projected data from the four

state offices and then compiles that data to form the cash budget that has two parts i.e.

collection and withdrawal. Collection includes receipts from parties such as IFFCO, NFL

(National Fertilizers Ltd.), CFCL (Chambal Fertilizers Corporation LtD.), IAC (Indian

Airlines Corporation). Withdrawal includes payment for sales tax and excise duty.

3.REALIZATION STATEMENTS

Realization statement is a type of bank statement, which we get on a daily basis from
SBI. It gives us a picture of the total amount credited in our account against the DCRs
deposited.
If there are any discrepancies with in the two then they are taken up with the bank
immediately to avoid delay in receiving of funds.

74
4.FOLLOW UP OF PAYMENTS

Another very important function of banking is to follow up with the head office for
collections and payments made through RCC.
The bankers also provide IOCL with RCC papers on a daily basis. These papers give us a
clear picture of the total credits and debits ofthe entire Northern Region including all the
state offices. These papers are helpful in locating any wrong debits, if received by us.

CONCLUSION

85
• After undergoing an in-depth study of the report, one can easily recognize that
Indian Oil ensures proper accounting for each and every rupee transacted through
bank.

• Utmost care is taken while implementing all the control measures and there is
no deviation from the laid down procedures. Various checklists of control have
been made as exhaustive as possible in dealing with the banking transactions.

• The functions, activities, roles and responsibilities of the concerned work groups
are also being performed very smoothly.

• Further, in view of the large number of accounts being operated by IOCL,


spread over 500 places across the country, a grievances settlement procedures
has been very efficiently worked out by IOCL and SBI, which would lead to
early redressal of any problems or unresolved issues with IOCL location against
SBI branches.

• Undoubtedly, it is because of this incredible expertise an synchronize


functioning that Indian Oil has a monopoly in the down stream sector, but still
certain improvements are yet to take place.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• The CMP facility has been administered at nearly about 85% of the total number
of branches of IOCL. This is because rest of the 15% of the branches is yet to be
computerized. The facility should be extended to all of its branches because that
would results in saving interest on bank borrowings.

• Since cost of financing is an important and major component of the over all
expenditure, there is a need to exercise due control and take suitable measures to
reduce the burden of financing cost which comprises of interest on bank
borrowings and bank charges.

• It should be ensured that there is no withholding of credit balances beyond Rs.


1000 in collection account under any circumstances.

• In case of holidays for IOCL but working day for bank, it should be ensured that
the DCR is deposited in the bank even on such day.

• Immediate arrangements should be made to recover overdue interest form the


customers where the same is debited to bank.

• The interest rate on bank borrowings should be reduced to certain extent.
