(2) Bill Discounting facility (BD) ₹ 50 crores (Against the bills drawn, on Government Departments) (3) Term Loan (TL) ₹ 25 Crores for the Machineries, including Cranes/JCBs and other equipment purchased (Machineries are Hypothecated to the Bank) In addition to the primary securities, Mr. Ashuthosh also furnished his landed properties worth ₹ 50 Crore as collateral securities to the Bank for the entire facility and his personal guarantee. As on 30th June, 2025, the balance outstanding on the above loan accounts at the Bank are as follows: Overdraft— ₹ 92 crores; Bills Discount— ₹ 42 crores; Term Loan— ₹ 23.75 crores. Stock Statement as on 30th June shows the following particulars : Value of Raw materials ₹ 100 crores, consisting of the following: Raw materials purchased on 20th January, 2025 was ₹ 4 crores and on 10th March, 2025 was ₹ 6 crores. Remaining Stocks were bought on different dates in May and June, 2025. Semi-finished work duly certified ₹ 20 crores. Creditors for materials outstanding is ₹ 10 crores. Work completed and certified by approved engineers ₹ 30 Crores (Work for Government Department worth ₹ 20 crores and Private Projects ₹ 10 crores) Bills raised on 30th June. As the Stock Auditor appointed by the Bank, calculate the Drawing Power for Overdraft and Bills Discount Limits for July, 2025, available to Ashuthosh and ascertain whether the balance outstanding is within the eligible Drawing Power.
Answer & Explanation:
Calculation of Drawing Power for Over Draft Limit: Raw Materials eligible for DP (Only less than 3 Months Old) = ₹ 100 - (₹ 4 + ₹ 6) = ₹ 90 Crores. Less: Creditors for Purchases = ₹ 10 Crores. So eligible stock of Raw Material = ₹ 90 - ₹ 10 = ₹ 80 Crores. Work in Progress = ₹ 20 Crores. Private Projects Completed = ₹ 10 Crores. Hence, Total Stock + Eligible Debtors for Overdraft = ₹ 80 + ₹ 20 + ₹ 10 = ₹ 110.00 Crores. Less: Margin 25% = ₹ 27.50 Crores. Therefore, Eligible DP for OD = ₹ 110 - ₹ 27.50 = ₹ 82.50 Crores. Balance outstanding as on 30th June = ₹ 92 Crores. So, Overdraft is overdrawn by ₹ 92 - ₹ 82.50 = ₹ 9.50 Crores. BD outstanding is ₹ 42 Crores (Against the Limit of ₹ 50 Crores). Another ₹ 8 Crores can be availed from the Bills Discount facility. New Bills raised on Govt ₹ 20 Crores. (Bills Worth (₹ 8 / 75%) = ₹ 10.67 Crores can be Discounted)
