CONCLUSION OF CMS
The CMS service has mostly provided by the HDFC,SBI,IDBI,and ICICI banks there are two side of benefit by cms first to the company which adopted the cms services and second to the banks which gives the better services to customer as a remittance charges . Due to the cms the float of the money are minimized which gives the directly profit to the company as an investment return the cms also provides some credit to the company without interest for a period of time which increase the capital of compny for the production The cms services support to the MIS which help to information about clarification of instrument on this basis of it company can prepare reports like presentation credit and return reports which identified the cash flow and also help to the investment daily basis.

SCOPE AND METHODS ADOPTED
Overview
First of all understand the problem of a company one should analyze the process in which problem lies. So first of all we will study the supply chain or logistics part in accordance with sales of ULTRA TECHcorporation and then we will study the inflow of funds from outside the company to within the company after the sale of cement.

Distributor D
In the above given diagram first of all manufacturing and packaging of cement is done in Satna Cement unit of ULTRA TECHCorporation Ltd, than that cement is transferred from Satna cement works to respective depot through rail or road routes as per convenience. Then whomsoever distributor want to purchase cement from these depot has to be registered at these depot and they have to give some required deposit at these depots. Then whenever these distributor need their required amount of cement has to make payment in advance. If distributor does not belong to that particular city at which the depot is located then only DD’s are accepted from those distribution and other local distributor can make the payment through local bank cheques. Now these cheques and DD’s are collected at different depot level and deposited in local H.D.F.C. under CMS for clearance. Then if the cheques / DD’s are cleared amount is transferred from these local banks to H.D.F.C. main branch Mumbai and unpaid cheques / DD’s are returned back and depots are intimated for not cleared cheques / DD’s.
Problem Definition and Details
In an industry mobilization of funds is very much important, that also when funds run in millions or rupees. Every company want to complete its working capital lifecycle as fast as it can, so to do that they make credit purchase from these suppliers whereas they takes advances from there customers. Taking credit from there suppliers whereas they takes advances from there customers. Talking credit from supplier does create a problem but making a customer payment in advance as he also a businessman creates problem areas. From customer point of view he would also like take to take some credit from the company but as per BCL’s rule cement is only supplied after the payment is made. So taking advance
44
from customer makes him to find the loopholes of the company so he can take advantage and make some delays in payments. Due to which following problem arises.
Problem Statement 1
Some times when distributor have to make payment in advance and they don’t have sufficient funds, they draws the cheques of required amount and deposit it with depot and get the supply of cement. When these cheques are sent for clearance they become unpaid and return back from the bank. Thus we intimate the distributor to make the repayment of unpaid cheques, in between these procedures distributor get their credit time.
Methodology Adopted
First of all analyze this problem we have to understand the accounting procedures which are followed by particular depot.
45

Cheques are attached with pay in slip of CMS and sent to bank for clearance
Amount is transferred to main branch Mumbai for further processing

Yes
No
46
Therefore to verify that whether a distributor is making repetitive false payment, we have to go though a vouching process in which we have to analyze the bank voucher slips and that how many times a distributor cheques are getting unpaid. If the same distributor cheques are getting unpaid then a report is prepared with all the documents and is sent to depots for further proceedings. Then the distributor is penalized on that amount and he has to pay interest on that amount. But the amount of interest is not a proper solution because that amount runs in few hundreds whereas the amount blocked i.e. working capital runs in lacs. So different measures are taken to avoid those circumstance.
Problem Statement 2
When a distributor blocks fund the amounts in lacks but when the funds being blocked by the banks the amount are in crores. As discussed earlier ULTRA TECHcorporation funds are mobilized through HDFC’s product CMS. So to have a further discussion first of all we should study the flow of funds at CMS.
Methodology Adopted:
First of all to analyze this problem we have to understand the accounting procedures which are followed at those particular depots.

In CMS transferred at HDFC cheques/DD’s are send for clearance to various banks of which cheques belongs. Every CMS center of HDFC had given a time limit for clearance of amount according to different places. But it happens that cheques are not in that stipulated time which has been prescribed by that bank. Therefore to check whether all the centers of HDFC are clearing the funds in given time period we have reconcile the statement given by the bank for clearance of cheques by looking into the time period taken by clearance of those cheques.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION
Report For Problem 1 Few suggestions that has been given by me in the report are as follows:
1.
All the depots must be integrated with an ERP system so as to minimize data redundancy.
2.
As the depots maintain there accounts on paper therefore to analyze the accounts was difficult. So all the depots should be computerized.
3.
Many of the vouchers were missing as they were transferred from depots to SCW.
Computerization can solve this problem as data can be sent electronically through E-Mails. 4.
As voucher were hand written due to which there were many errors in cheques numbers in book voucher slips, computerization can solve the problems.
Report and Suggestions For Problem 2
By analyzing four months data of CMS i.e. of April, May, June, and September months the following outcomes has been drawn.

1) Here are the amounts for all four months and all the depot transfers :

2)
1
From above given figure we can clearly state that there are few branches of H.D.F.C. which are not working properly and specially the Banda, Bahraich & Muzzafarpur, so expect these branches all other branches are working properly. We should give them the sorted data so that they can give their clarifications.
3)
The interest in month of April, May and June is calculated on 10.75%, whereas due to rise in percentage of interest it has been calculate on 11% in month of September.
51
4)
As all branches are working properly except few and also the calculated amount is very less as compared to transaction amount, so we should not charge interest but should levied only when they do not improvise.
5)
Many small branches like Banda, Deoria, Sultanpur etc has 1 day limit for clearance of Cheques / DD’s whereas main branch like New Delhi, Mumbai, Allahabad, Varanasi, Lucknow etc has 2 day limit. So we should ask them to switch to 1 day instead of 2 days so we can reduce the life cycle of working capital by 1 day.
As per above given figures the important part is not the interest but the amount blocked by the bank.
