(Nayak Committee norms for computation of working capital limits)
The term working capital means sum of the funds invested at various current assets used in the operating cycle, by the industrial and trading establishments. Operating cycle means the length of time required to convert ‘Non-Cash current assets’, (like raw material (RM), work in process (WIP), finished goods (FG), and receivables) into cash. The appraisal of working capital finance means assessment of gross working capital, net- working capital and working capital gap for assessment of working capital limits for a company.
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.
Example:
| If Projected sales turn-over | Rs.100, 000.00 |
| Then, working capital gap is 25% of turnover | Rs.100, 000.00 |
| Minimum permissible Bank Finance should be 20% of turnover | Rs. 20,000.00 |
| Margin money from the borrower should be 5% of Rs.100000.00
|
Rs.5000.00 |
The following types of loans and advances are considered as working capital finance.
- Cash Credit/ Overdraft against inventories and book debts.
- Demand Loan portion under Loan System for Delivery of Bank Credit
- If, permissible bank finance is Rs.10 Crore and above.
- Packing Credit against inventories.
- Bills purchased /Discounted (inland & foreign)
- Cash Credit against book debts/Cheque purchase.
- Working capital term loan (for excess borrowing)
- Assessment of Non-fund based (LC/LG/DPG/APG) Limits

Sir I am working in Central Bank of India. One of our customer has approached me for Mudra Loan . He is a Jewellery business. His sales for the year ended 31.03.2017 is 18,76,123/- and extimate for 31.03.2018 is 39,50,000 and projection for 31.03.2019 is 43,75,000/-
Whether the growth is acceptable or Not?
Please Advice.
Tahnking You

Call for the provisional balance sheet as of 31.12.2017 and find out the actual sales for first 3 quarters. If it is almost 3/4th of the project for 31.03.2018 then you may accept the projection as of 31.03.2018 as well as the figures projected for the financial year 2017-18. You may call for the Sales Tax/GST return filed by the customer to confirm that the actual sales have taken place.
Actual margin available means in assesment of working

If you are satisfied that business projected is realistic you may compute the limit under turnover method.

Sir one customer came my branch with project balance sheet in this bal sheet Rs. 5 Lac is debtors Rs. 9 Lac is creditor Rs. 20 Lac is sales & Rs. 5 Lac stock how much working capital is in bal sheet in paid up stock
Under Turnover method is eligible 20% of the turnover that is Rs. 4 lakh. However, his working capital requirement is fully financed by sundry creditors (Rs.9 lakh) as against turnover of 20 lakh and debtors 5 lakh. In my opinion he does not require any additional finance from the bank. You may not evince interest on this proposal.
Sir,
Under turnover method for calculation of MPBF, the margin of 5 per cent is to be calculated on projection or latest actual Balance Sheet ?
On projection.

Sir under TURNOVER method what should be the turnover accepted by bank…is it same as turnover projected by the borrower or the turnover of the account
If the borrower presents the over-ambitious turnover projection, the bank need not accept such proposal without being satisfied with it. Usually, present turnover plus about 20% increase is treated as reasonable and banks may accept such proposals. If the projection is much higher, the customer has to give convincing reasons that how he will achieve such projected turnover.
dear sir,iam having doubt that when we enter data in CMA format whether proposed working capital loan (day to day activities) amount for the current year to be entered in current liabilities side to arrive current ratio.IF so,does it to be entered in projections or in actuals
It should be on projection. current year figures would help us to compare the actual and projection. If you feel assets and liabilities are overestimated you may ask the party to provide a realistic figure or convince you how they will achieve the projected sales etc.
In turn over method,is it required to reduce the excess of NWC than 5% of projected sales from eligibility calculated @20% of projected sales
Many accountants ask the borrower requirement of limit. Then they work out in the reverse order i.e 5 times the limit required is the projected sales and arrive working capital gap (CA-CL) as 5% of projected sales. The above method is used to fool the credit officer of the bank. The bank should not go by such projections given by the borrower. They have to estimate the realistic sales projection based on the previous year business or on the basis of confirmed orders in hand. You need to call the months wise list of Sundry creditors and sundry debtors from April 1st to till date so that you can ascertain the correctness of current assets and current liabilities statement submitted by the borrower.
Dear Sir,
For working capital assessment we use turnover method for those firm which has 3 months working capital cycle. So please advise me which method we should use in following cases:-
1. If working capital cycle is less than 3 months.
2. If working capital cycle is more than 3 months.
There is no hard and fast rule to use turn over method for a firm which has 3 months working capital cycle. Working Capital cycle (WCC) refers to the time taken by an organization to convert its net current assets and current liabilities into cash. Therefore, a business tries to shorten the working capital cycles to improve the short-term liquidity condition and increase its business efficiency. You can apply the turnover method for a shorter working capital turnover cycle. If the limit required is for seasonal products or construction activities, use a cash budget method.
