    INTRODUCTION

    COMMUNICATION

    Early telecommunications

    In the Middle Ages, chains ofbeacons were commonly used on hilltopsas a means of relaying a signal. Beacon chains suffered the drawbackthat they could only pass a single bit of information, so the meaning ofthe message such as "the enemy has been sighted" had to be agreedupon in advance. One notable instance of their use was during theSpanish Armada, when a beacon chain relayed a signal from Plymouthto London signalling the arrival of Spanish ships.

    In 1792, Claude Chappe, a French engineer, built the first fixed visualtelegraphy system (or semaphore line) between Lille and Paris.

    However semaphore suffered from the need for skilled operators andexpensive towers at intervals of ten to thirty kilometres (six to nineteenmiles). As a result of competition from the electrical telegraph, the lastcommercial line was abandoned in 1880.

    Telegraph and telephone

    The first commercial electrical telegraph was constructed by SirCharlesWheatstone and Sir William Fothergill Cooke and opened on 9 April1839. Both Wheatstone and Cooke viewed their device as "animprovement to the [existing] electromagnetic telegraph" not as a newdevice.

    Samuel Morse independently developed a version of the electricaltelegraph that he unsuccessfully demonstrated on 2 September 1837.

    His code was an important advance over Wheatstone's signalingmethod. The first transatlantic telegraph cable was successfullycompleted on 27 July 1866, allowing transatlantic telecommunication forthe first time.

    The conventional telephone was invented independently by AlexanderBell and Elisha Gray in 1876. Antonio Meucci invented the first device

    that allowed the electrical transmission of voice over a line in 1849.However Meucci's device was of little practical value because it relied

    upon the electrophonic effect and thus required users to place thereceiver in their mouth to "hear" what was being said. The firstcommercial telephone services were set up in 1878 and 1879 on bothsides of the Atlantic in the cities ofNew Haven and London.

    Radio and television

    In 1832, James Lindsay gave a classroom demonstration of wirelesstelegraphy to his students. By 1854, he was able to demonstrate atransmission across the Firth of Tay from Dundee, Scotland toWoodhaven, a distance of two miles (3 km), using water as thetransmission medium. In December 1901, Guglielmo Marconiestablished wireless communication between St. John's, Newfoundland(Canada) and Poldhu, Cornwall (England), earning him the 1909 Nobel

    Prize in physics (which he shared with Karl Braun). However small-scale radio communication had already been demonstrated in 1893 byNikola Tesla in a presentation to the National Electric Light Association.

    On 25 March 1925, John Logie Baird was able to demonstrate thetransmission of moving pictures at the London department storeSelfridges. Baird's device relied upon the Nipkow disk and thus becameknown as the mechanical television. It formed the basis of experimentalbroadcasts done by the British Broadcasting Corporation beginning 30September 1929. However, for most of the twentieth century televisionsdepended upon the cathode ray tube invented by Karl Braun. The firstversion of such a television to show promise was produced by PhiloFarnsworth and demonstrated to his family on 7 September 1927.

    Computer networks and the Internet

    On 11 September 1940, George Stibitz was able to transmit problemsusing teletype to his Complex Number Calculator in New York andreceive the computed results back at Dartmouth College in NewHampshire. This configuration of a centralized computer or mainframewith remote dumb terminals remained popular throughout the 1950s.However, it was not until the 1960s that researchers started to

    investigate packet switching a technology that would allow chunks ofdata to be sent to different computers without first passing through a

    centralized mainframe. A four-node network emerged on 5 December1969; this network would become ARPANET, which by 1981 wouldconsist of 213 nodes.

    ARPANET's development centred around the Request for Commentprocess and on 7 April 1969, RFC 1 was published. This process isimportant because ARPANET would eventually merge with other

    networks to form the Internet and many of the protocols the Internetrelies upon today were specified through the Request for Commentprocess. In September 1981, RFC 791 introduced the Internet Protocolv4 (IPv4) and RFC 793 introduced the Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) thus creating the TCP/IP protocol that much of the Internetrelies upon today.

    However, not all important developments were made through theRequest for Comment process. Two popular link protocols forlocal areanetworks (LANs) also appeared in the 1970s. A patent for the token ringprotocol was filed by Olof Soderblom on 29 October 1974 and a paperon the Ethernet protocol was published by Robert Metcalfe and DavidBoggs in the July 1976 issue ofCommunications of the ACM.

    to Broadband Policy 2004, Government of India aims at 9 millionbroadband connections and 18 million internet connections b 2008. Thewireless subscriber base has jumped from 33.69 million in 2004 to62.57 million in fiscal year 2004-2005. In the last 3 years, two out ofevery three new telephone subscribers were wireless subscribers.Consequently, wireless now accounts for 54.6% of the total telephonesubscriber base, as compared to only 40% in 2003. Wirelesssubscribers per month by 2008. The wireless technologies currently inuse are Global System for mobile communications (GSM) and CodeDivision Multiple Access (CDMA).

    CHALLANGES AHEAD

    During Financial Year 2006-2007(From April 1, 2006 to March 31,2007) BSNL has added 9.6 million new customers in various telephoneservices taking its customer base to 64.8 million. The following are themain challenges faced by BSNL.

    Threats from competitor's bsnl's -_BSNL nearest competitor Bharti

    Airtel is standing at a customer base of 39 million.

    Declining in fixed line customer;- Despite impressive growth shownby BSNL in recent times, the fixed line customer base of BSNL isdeclining. In order to retain its fixed-line customers BSNL has broughtdown long distance calling rate under One India plan; however thesuccess of the scheme is not known. However, BSNL faces bleak fiscal

    2006-2007 as users flee, which has been accepted by the CMD BSNLPoor customer services- Presently there is an intense competition inIndian Telecom sector and various telecoms are rolling out attractiveschemes and are providing good customer services. However, BSNLbeing legacy operator and its conversion from a GovernmentDepartment earns lot of criticism for its poor customer service.

    Lack of skilled manpower- Although in recent past there have beentremendous improvement in working of BSNL, still it is below theIndustry's expectations. A large aging (average age 49 years (approx))workforce (300,000 strong), which is mostly semi -literate or illiterate isthe main reason for the poor customer service.Lack of active management- Despite all the limitations of a legacy set-up, the management has been striving hard for the growth of the

    organization-and has been able to give a tough and sustained fight tothe competition- rather unheard in the Indian PSUs.

    Large workforce- Although in coming years the retirement profile ofthe workforce is very fast and around 25% of existing workforce willretire by 2010, still the workforce will be quite large by the industry

    12/79

    standards. Quality of the workforce will also remain an issue.Access Deficit Charges (ADC, a levy being paid by the private

    operators to BSNL for provide service in non-lucrative areas especiallyrural areas) has been slashed by 37% by TRAI, i.e. April 1, 2007. Thereduction in ADC may hit the bottom lines of BSNL.

    INDIAN TELECOM ENVIRONMENT-A STEP TOWARDSDEVELOPMENT

    Indian telecommunications today benefits from among the mostenlightened regulation in the region, and arguably in the world. Thesector, sometimes considered the "poster- boy for economic reforms",has been among the chief beneficiaries of the post-1991 liberalization.Telecommunications has generally been seen as removed from "massconcerns," and thus less subject to electoral calculations.

    Market oriented reforms have also been facilitated by lobbying fromIndia's booming technology sector ,whose continued success of coursedepends on the quality of communications infrastructure . Despiteseveral hiccups along the way, the Telecom Regulatory Authority ofIndia (TRAI), the independent regulator, has earned a reputation fortransparency and competence. With the recent resolution of a majordispute between cellular and fixed operators (see below), Indian

    telecommunications, already among the most competitive markets inthe world, appears set to continue growing rapidly. At that time, RajivGandhi proclaimed his intention of "leading India into 21stcentuary," andcarved the Department of Telecommunication (DOT) out of theDepartment of Post and Telegraph. For a time he also even consideredcorporatizing the DOT, before succumbing to union pressure. In acompromise, Gandhi created two DOT-owned corporations: Mahanagar

    Telepone Nigam Limited (MTNL), to serve Delhi and Bombay, andVidesh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL), to operate international telecomservices. He also introduced private capital into the manufacturing oftelecommunications equipment, which had previously been a DOTmonopoly.

    INTRODUCTION OF PRIVATE PLAYERS:-

    It was not until the early 1990s, when the political situation stabilized,and with the general momentum for economic reforms, thetelecommunications liberazation really took off. In 1994, the governmentreleased its National Telecommunications Policy (NTP-94), whichallowed private fixed operators to take part in the four largestmetropolitan centers in 1992. Under the government's new policy, Indiawas divided into 20 circles roughly corresponding to state boundaries,each of which would contain two fixed operators, and two mobileoperators. As ground-breaking as NTP-94 was, its implementation wasunfortunately marred by regulatory uncertainly and overbidding.A number of operators were unable to live up their profligate bids and ,confronted with far less lucrative networks than they had supposed,pulled out of the country. As a result, competition in India's telecomsector did not really until 1999. At the time the government's NewTelecommunations Policy (NTP-99) switched from a fixed fee license toa revenue sharing regime of approximately 15%. This figure hassubsequently been lowered (to 10%-12%), and is expected to bereduced even further over the coming years. Stoll, India continues toderive substantial revenue from license fee ($800 million in 2001-2002);leading some critics to suggest that the government has abrogated itsresponsibilities as a regulator to those as a seller. Another, perhapseven more significant, problems with India's initial attempts to introducecompetition was the lack of regulatory clarity, Private operatorscomplained that the licensor-the DOT- was also the incumbent operator.It was in response to such concerns that the 9 government in 1997 setup the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the nation's firstindependent telecom regulator.

    INDUSTRY INSIGHTTelecommunication Industry is one of the fastest growing telecom

    markets in the world. The mobile sector has grown from around 10million subscribers in 2002 to reach 150 million by early 2007registering an average growth of over 90% yoy. The two major reasonsthat have fuelled this growth are low tariffs coupled with falling handsetprices.Surprisingly, CDMA market has increased it market share up to 30%thanks to Reliance Communication. However, across the globe, CDMA

    has been loosing out numbers to popular GSM technology, contrary tothe scenario in India. The other reason that has tremendously helpedthe telecom Industry is the regulatory changes and reforms that havebeen pushed for last 10 years by successive Indian governments.According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) the rate ofmarket expansion would increase with further regulatory and structuralreforms.Even though the fixed line market share has been droppingconsistently, the overall (fixed and mobile) subscriber has risen to morethan 200 million by first quarter of 2007. The telecom reforms haveallowed the foreign telecommunication companies to enter Indianmarket which has still got huge potential. International telecomcompanies like Vodafone have made entry into Indian market in a bigway.Currently the Indian Telecommunication market is valued at around$100 billion (Rupees 400,000 Crore). Two telecom players dominatethis market -Bharti Airtel with 27% market share and RelianceCommunication with 20% along with other players like BSNL (BharatSanchar Nigam Limited) and AT&T. One segment of the market thathas been puzzling is broadband Internet. Despite the manner in whichthe country's Internet market has been booming, India's move into high-speed broadband Internet access has been distinctly slow. And, whilethere appears to be considerable enthusiasm amongst the populationfor the Internet itself, this has not been reflected in broadbandsubscription numbers. In 2006 India witnessed a good surge inbroadband users with the total subscriber base in the countryexpanding by almost 200% to just over 2 million by years end. Despite

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    15/79

    this surge, broadband penetration in India still remains around only0.2%; broadband services still account for only 25% of the total Internet

    subscriber base, still in itself comparatively low.The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) ishas very aggressive plans to increase the pace of growth, targeting 250million telephone subscribers by end-2007 and 500 million by 2010.Most of the expansion in subscribers is set to occur in rural India. India'srural telephone density has been languishing at around 1.9%; so, if 70%of total population is rural, the scope for growth in this Industry is

    unprecedented.GSM and CDMA subscription numbers:

    Types of Cellular Technology in India

    In India we use two types of cellular technology:

    a) GSM

    b) CDMA

    GSM

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    23/79

    GSM is termed "Global System for Mobile communications". It is themost popular standard for mobile phones in the world. GSM service is

    used by over 2 billion people across more than 212 countries andterritories.

    The ubiquity of the GSM standard makes international roaming verycommon between mobile phone operators, enabling subscribers to usetheir phones in many parts of the world.

    GSM provides both signaling and speech channels in Digital callquality, which means that it is considered a second generation (2G)mobile phone system/technology.

    This was the first cellular technology to be introduced in India. Most ofthe Mobile Operators in India use this Technology.

    Global System for Mobile communications (GSM):

    Originally from Groupe Special Mobile) is the most popular standard formobile phones in the world. Its promoter, the GSM Association,estimates that the GSM service is used by over 2 billion people acrossmore than 212 countries and territories.[1][2] Its ubiquity makesinternational roaming very common between mobile phone operators,enabling subscribers to use their phones in many parts of the world.GSM differs significantly from its predecessors in that both signaling

    and speech channels are digital call quality, and so is considered asecond generation (2G) mobile phone system. This has also meant thatdata communication were built into the system using the 3rd GenerationPartnership Project (3GPP).

    The GSM logo is used to identify compatible handsets and equipment

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    24/79

    The key advantage of GSM systems to consumers has been higherdigital voice quality and low cost alternatives to making calls, such as

    the Short message service (SMS, also called "text messaging"). Theadvantage for network operators has been the ease of deployingequipment from any vendors that implement the standard.t3] Like othercellular standards, GSM allows network operators to offer roamingservices so that subscribers can use their phones on GSM networks allover the world.

    Newer versions of the standard were backward-compatible with theoriginal GSM phones. For example, Release '97 of the standard addedpacket data capabilities, by means of General Packet Radio Service(GPRS). Release '99 introduced higher speed data transmission usingEnhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE).

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    25/79

    HISTORY OF GSM

    The growth of cellular telephone systems started in the early 1980s,particularly in Europe. The lack of technological standardizationprompted the European Conference of Postal and TelecommunicationsAdministrations (CEPT) to create the Groupe Special Mobile (GSM) in1982 with the objective of developing a standard for a mobile telephonesystem that could be used across Europe.

    CDMA

    CDMA is termed as "Code division multiple access". It is a form ofmultiplexing and a method of multiple access that divides up atradiochannel not by time (as in time division multiple access), nor byfrequency (as in frequency-division multiple access), but instead by

    using different pseudorandom code sequences for each user.

    2G

    2G (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephonetechnology.

    The main differentiator to previous mobile telephone systems,retrospectively dubbed 1G, is that the radio signals that 1G networksuse are analog, while 2G networks are digital. Both systems use digitalsignaling to connect the radio towers (which listen to the handsets) tothe rest of the telephone system.

    2.5G services enable high-speed data transfer over upgraded existing

    2G networks. Beyond 2G, there's 3G, with higher data speeds, and 4G,with even higher data speeds, to enable new services for subscribers,such as picture messaging and video telephony.

    Capacities, advantages, and disadvantages

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    26/79

    Capacity

    Using digital signals between the handsets and the towers increasessystem capacity in two key ways:

    Digital voice data can be compressed and multiplexed much moreeffectively than analog voice encodings through the use ofvarious CODECs, allowing more calls to be packed into the sameamount of radio bandwidth.

    The digital systems were designed to emit less radio power fromthe handsets. This meant that cells could be smaller, so morecells could be placed in the same amount of space. This w$ alsomade possible by cell towers and related equipment getting lessexpensive.

    Advantages

    Digital systems were embraced by consumers for several reasons.

    The lower powered radio signals require less battery power, sophones last much longer between charges, and batteries can besmaller.

    The digital voice encoding allowed digital error checking which

    could increase sound quality by reducing dynamic and loweringthe noise floor.

    The lower power emissions helped address health concerns. Going all-digital allowed for the introduction of digital data

    services, such as SMS and email.

    A key digital advantage not often mentioned is that digital cellular calls

    are much harder to eavesdrop on by use of radio scanners. While thesecurity algorithms used have proved to not be as secure as initiallyadvertised, 2G phones are immensely more private than 1G phones,which have no protection whatsoever against eavesdropping.

    Disadvantages

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    27/79

    The downsides of 2G systems, not often well publicized, are:

    In less populous areas, the weaker digital signal will not besufficient to reach a cell tower.

    Analog has a smooth decay curve, digital a jagged steppy one. This canbe both an advantage and a disadvantage. Under good conditions,digital will sound better. Under slightly worse conditions, analog willexperience static, while digital has occasional dropouts. As conditionsworsen, though, digital will start to completely fail, by dropping calls or

    being unintelligible, while analog slowly gets worse, generally holding acall longer and allowing at least a few words to get through. With analogsystems it was possible to have two or more "cloned" handsets that hadthe same phone number.

    3G

    3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology,after 2G. It is based on the International Telecommunication Union(ITU) family of standards under the International MobileTelecommunications programme, "IMT-2000". 3G technologies enablenetwork operators to offer users a wider range of more advancedservices while achieving greater network capacity through improvedspectral efficiency. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony

    and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment.

    Unlike IEEE 802.11 networks, 3G networks are wide area cellulartelephone networks which evolved to incorporate high-speed internetaccess and video telephony. IEEE 802.11 networks are short range,high-bandwidth networks primarily developed for data.

    By June 2007 the 200 millionth 3G subscriber had been connected. Outof 3 billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide this is only 6.7%. Inthe countries where 3G was launched first - Japan and South Koreaover half of all subscribers use 3G. In Europe the leading country isItaly with a third of its subscribers migrated to 3G. Other leadingcountries by 3G migration include UK, Austria and Singapore at the20% migration level. A confusing statistic is counting CDMA 2000 Ix

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    28/79

    RTT customers as if they were 3G customers. Ifusing this oft-disputeddefinition, then the total 3G subscriber base would be 475 million at

    June 2007 and 15.8% of all subscribers worldwide.

    Features

    The most significant feature of 3G mobile technology is that it supportsgreater numbers of voice and data customers especially in urban

    areas and higher data rates at lower incremental cost than 2G.

    It also allows the transmission of 384 kbit/s for mobile systems and 2Mb/s for stationary systems. 3G users are expected to have greatercapacity and better spectrum efficiency, which allows them to accessglobal roaming between different 3G networks.

    29/79

    EVOLUTION TO 3G

    Cellular mobile telecommunications networks are being upgraded touse 3G technologies from 1999 to 2010. Japan was the first country tointroduce 3G nationally, and in Japan the transition to 3G was largelycompleted in 2006.

    MAJOR MARKET TRENDS

    The telecoms trends in India will have a great impact on everything fromthe humble PC,internet,broadband,(both wireless and fixed),and cable,handset festures,talking SMS,IPTV,soft switches, and managedservices to the local manufacturing and supply chain. This reportdiscusses key trends in the Indian telecom industry, their drivers and

    major impacts of such trends affecting mobile operators, infrastructureand hand set vendors.

    HIGHER ACCEPTANCE FOR WIRELESS SERVICESIndian customers are embracing mobile technology in a big way (anaverage of four million subscribers added every month for the past sixmonth itself). They prefer wireless services compared to wire-line

    services, which is evident from the fact that while the wirelesssubscriber base has increased at 75 percent from 2001 to 2006, thewire line subscriber base growth rate is negligible during the sameperiod. In fact, many customers are returning their wire-line phones totheir service providers as mobile provides a more attractive andcompetitive solution.

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    30/79

    MERGERS

    Demand for new spectrum as the industry grows and the fact the

    spectrum allocation done on the basis of subscribers will forcecompanies to merge so as to claim large number of subscribers to gainmore spectrum as a precursor to the launch of larger and expandedservices. However it must also be noted that this may never happen onaccount of low telecom penetration.

    Major Players of Telecom Industry in IndiaThere are three types of players in telecom services: State owned companies (BSNL and MTNL) Private Indian owned companies (Reliance Infocom,Tata

    Teleservices ,) Foreign invested companies(Vodafone-Essar , Bharti Tele-

    Ventures, Escotel, Idea Cellular, BPL Mobile, SpiceCommunications)

    CASH MANAGEMENT IN BSNL

    Cash management is a term for certain services offered primarily tolarger business customers. This is the producers for Governmentagencies to follow to ensure prudent cash management practices whendeveloping and implementing regulations, systems, and instructions.These procedures include billings, collections, deposits, disbursements,cash held outside the cash account of the Department and financialdata reporting. These producers also require the use of timely methods,

    principally Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) for the collection, deposit,and disbursement of funds. It may be use to describe all the bankaccounts such as checking, collection, operation account etc. providedto businesses of a certain size, but it is more often used to describespecific services such as cash concentration, zero balance accounting,and automated clearing house facilities. Sometimes even a private bankcan be hire to provide a cash management service for the company

    even Bharat Sanchar Nigam limited also planning to outsource its cashmanagement service. The following is the list of services generallyoffered by banks and utilized by larger businesses and corporations likeBSNL.

    Account Reconcilement Services: Balancing a checkbook can bedifficult process for a very large business, since it issues so many

    checks it can take a lot of human monitoring to understand whichchecks have not cleared and therefore what the company's truebalance is. To get around this, banks have developed a systemwhich allows companies to upload a list of all the checks that theyissue on a daily basis, so that at the end of the month the bankstatement will show not only which checks have cleared, but alsowhich have not.

    More recently, banks have used this system to prevent checksfrom being fraudulently cashed if they are not in the list, aprocess known as positive pay.

    Advanced Web Services; Most banks have an internet-basedsystem which is more advanced than the one available to theconsumers. This enables manager to create and authorize

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    39/79

    special internal logon credentials, allowing employees to sendwires and access other cash management features normally not

    found on the consumer web site.

    Armored Car Services: Large retailers who collect a great dealof cash may have the bank picks this cash up via an armored carcompany, instead of employees depositing the cash.

    Automated Clearing House; services are usually offered by the

    cash management division of bank. The Automated ClearingHouse is an electronic system used to transfer funds betweenbanks. Companies use this to pay others, especially employees(this is how direct deposit works). Certain companies also use itto collect funds from customers (this is generally how automaticpayment plans work). This system is the subject of the consumergroups, because under the 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 attheir lead bank. These sophisticated compilations of bankingactivity may include balances in foreign currencies, as well asthose other banks.

    They include balances of foreign currencies, as well as those atother banks. They include information of cash positions as wellas 'float' (e.g., checks in process of collection). Finally, they offertransaction-specific details on all forms of payment activity,including deposits, checks , wire transfer, ACH (automatedclearing house debits and credits), investments etc.

    Cash Concentration Service; Large or national chain retailersoften are in areas where their primary bank does not havebranches. Therefore, they open bank accounts at various localbanks in the area. To prevent funds in these accounts from beingidle and not earning sufficient interest, many of these companies

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    40/79

    have an agreement set with their primary banks uses theAutomated Clearing House to electronically "pull" the money from

    these banks into a single interest-bearing bank account.

    Lockbox services; often companies (such as utilities ) whichreceive a large number of payments via checks in the mail havethe bank set up a post office box from them, open their mail, anddeposit any check found. This is referred to as "lockbox" service.

    Positive Pay; Positive pay service where by the companyelectronically share its check register of all written checks withthe bank. The bank therefore will only pay checks listed in theirregister, with exactly the same specifications as listed in theirregister (amount, payee, serial number, etc.). This systemdramatically reduces check fraud.

    Sweep Accounts; are typically offered by the cash managementdivision of bank. Under this system, excess funds from a company'sbank account are automatically moved into a money market mutualfund overnight, and then moved back the next morning.

    Zero Balance Accounting; can be thought of somewhat of a hack.

    Companies with large number of stores or location can very often beconfused if all those stores are depositing into a single bank account.Traditionally, it would be impossible to know which deposits were fromwhich stores, without seeking to view images of those deposits. To helpthis problem, banks developed a system where each store is given theirown bank account, but all the money deposited in the store account isautomatically moved into the company's main bank account. This

    allows the company to look at individual statements for each store. USBanks at present time, however, are almost all converting their systemsso that companies can tell which store made a particular deposit even ifthese deposits are all being done into one account. Therefore, zerobalance accounting is being used less frequently.

    Wire Transfer; A wire transfer is an electronic transfer of funds. Wiretransfer can be done by a simple bank account transfer, of cash at the

    cash office. Bank wire transfers are often the most expedient method oftransferring funds between bank accounts. A bank wire transfer is amessage to the receiving bank requesting them to effect payment inaccordance with the instructions. The actual wire transfer itself isvirtually instantaneous, requiring no longer for transmission than atelephone call.

    Controlled Disbursement: This is another product offered bybanks under Cash Management Services .The bank provides adaily report, typically early in the day, that provides the amount ofdisbursement that would be charged to the customer's account.This early knowledge of daily funds requirement allows thecustomer to invent any surplus in intraday investmentsopportunities, typically money market. This is different from

    delayed disbursement, where payments are issued through aremote branch of a bank and customer is able to delay thepayment due to increased float time.

    Current Assets Management Review and Analysis (CAMRA)-A process to assess and improve the management of federalagency finances through electronic data collection. The Cash

    Management Review is a major part of CAMRA.Billings and Collections: Agencies responsible for the preparationof invoices to individuals and organization will adhere to thefollowing:

    Ensure that an invoice, for either an actual or estimated amount, isprepared and mailed within 5 business days after the day goodhave been shipped or released, services have been rendered, or

    payment is otherwise due. Agencies may prepare and mail aninvoice later than 5-day timeframe if they can demonstrate that itis cost effective to do so.

    Include a payment due date on the invoice that will not be morethat will more than 30 days from the date of the invoice, unlessotherwise provided by the law.

    If the value of the goods or services cannot be specifically

    determined, a bill equal to at least 75 percent of the estimatedvalue will be prepared and mailed within 5 business days. Identifythe estimated invoice as being a partial invoice and note that afinal invoice will be completed when the value is determined.

    Prepare and mail a final invoice within 30 days of submission ofan estimated partial invoice.

    Collections normally are required to be made by EFT and mustbe arranged with FMS. When indicated by FMS, agencies willinclude a statement on invoice requiring payment by EFT andprovide the necessary information for EFT payment by theremitter.

    Charges for Late Payments. Payment terms as stated in a contract,debt instrument, or notice of indebtedness (that is, demand letter)are

    expected to be adhered to by the debtor. If payment is not received bythe due date, then an agency is expected to pursue collection of the

    debt using the appropriate available methods, and to assess interest,administrative charges, and penalties on past due amounts.Collection Mechanisms; All funds are to be collected by EFT whencost-effective, practicable, and consistent with current statutoryauthority. FMS acknowledges that agencies may find it desirable toutilize a menu of mechanisms, if the base of remitters is diverse. Themechanisms used for collecting funds for credit to the account of U.S.

    Government will be jointly determined by the responsible agency andFMS and must have as their objectives the minimization of total cost tothe Government as a whole, including agency direct costs, the cost ofpurchased services, and the float cost of the money involved in thecollection system. Agencies will evaluate new or modified collectionsflows using the following guidelines and provide recommendations toFMS. When consistent with the above criteria, agencies should

    generally consider mechanisms in the following order of preference:(1) Automated Clearing House (ACH)(the computerized facility for

    member depositary institutions to process payment orders inmachine readable form),

    (2) Fed wire ( for deposits requiring same-day settlement),(3) Debit/Credit Card (when cost effective),(4) Lockbox, and

    (5) Treasury's General Account (TGA).On-Line Payment and Collections System (OPAC) or othermechanism for which the agency has vouchers and schedule ofwithdrawals and credits, will be used for the transfer of funds betweenagencies.Distribution Mechanism; All funds are to be disbursed by EFT whencost-effective, practicable, and consistent with current statutory

    authority. Agencies will evaluate new or modified cash flows using thefollowing guidelines and provide recommendations to company.Vendor and Miscellaneous Payments. Each department and agencywill exercise its authority to require that all contractors are paid by EFTin accordance with 31 CFR 206, unless a determination is made that itis not in the best interest of the Federal Government to do so. EFT will

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    45/79

    be adopted as the standard method of payment for all federal programpayments originated by agencies or their agent. To the maximum extent

    possible, agencies are required to use Vendor Express, Which is themechanism supporting the movement of Federal agencies vendor andmiscellaneous payments from checks and Fed wire to ACH processing.Agencies proposing to use any non-EFT mechanisms for vendor andmiscellaneous payments must successfully demonstrate FMS why EFTis not feasible or cost effective. FMS will work with each agency todevelop and execute individual conversion plans and coordinate agency

    conversion plans with the Regional Financial Centers and the FederalReserve System.Agency Payments; Agencies will ensure that payment terms, whichspecify when payment will be due and how payment will be made, arecontained in all contracts with any organization. Invoices that areauthorized for payment by an agency, including progress and finalpayments, will be paid in accordance with company rule and regulations

    or when otherwise due. Accounting systems will be designed to ensurethat invoices are paid timely and discounts are taken when appropriatewhen agencies take discounts after the expiration of discount period orfail to make timely payments, interest penalties will be paid according tothe company's act.Cash Discounts: - Agency payment will incorporate procedures thattake advantage of cash discounts as a matter of routine and eliminate

    any need for special handling. Such discounts will be taken when thediscounts terms applied in the conversion formula results in an effectiveannual interest rates equal to, or greater than, the current value ofFunds Rate. The discount period is calculated from the date placed inthe proper invoice by the contractor to the discount date. If the voice isundated, the discount period will begin on the date a proper invoicesreceived by the designated billing office and the date annotated. All

    discount payment must be scheduled for issuance as close as possibleto, but no later than, the last day f the discount period. The formula, withexample to convert discount terms an effective annual discount rate tobe compared against the Current Value of Funds Rate are in the figureon this page.

At least every 6 months, accountable officers shallensure that such funds arecommensurate with actual need andmeet the requirement specified in Manual of procedures andInstructions for Cashiers. Cash on hand shall be maintained at

    the minimum needed to meet normal requirements. In lieu ofcash, agencies must use ACH for small purchases, traveladvances, and reimbursement to the maximum extent possible. Ifusing ACH is not cost-effective, practicable, or consistent withcurrent statutory authority, agencies will use the GovernmentSmall Purchase Card or third-party draft.

    CASH FLOW STATEMENT ANALYSIS OF BSNL

    Cash flow is a term that refers to the amount of cash being received andspent by a business during a defined period of time, sometimes tied to aspecific project. Measurement of cash flow can be used:

    To evaluate the state or performance of a business or project.

    To determine problems with liquidity. Being profitable does notnecessarily mean being liquid. A company can fail because of ashortage of cash, even while profitable.

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    49/79

    To generate project rate of returns. The time of cash flows intoand out of projects are used as inputs to financial models such as

    internal rate of return, and net present value.

    To examine income or growth of a business when it is believedthat actual accounting concepts do not represent economicrealities. Alternately, cash flow can be used to 'validate' the netincome generated by accrual accounting.

    Cash flows in BSNL can be classified into;1. Operational cash flows: Cash received or expanded as a result of

    the company's core business activities.2. Investment cash flows: Cash received or expended through

    capital expenditure, investments or acquisitions.3. Financing cash flows: Cash received or expended as a result of

    financial activities, such as interest and dividends.Al three together- the net cash flow- are necessary to reconcile thebeginning cash balance to the ending cash balance. Cash flow afterexpenditures affecting payments. Loan draw downs or equity injections,that are just shifting of capital but no expenditure as such, are notconsidered in the net cash flow.Benefits reap by BSNL by using Cash flowThe cash flow statement is one of the four main financial statements ofacompany. The cash flow statement can be examined to determine theshort-term sustainability of a company. If cash is increasing (andoperational cash flow is positive), than the company will often bedeemed to be healthy in the short-term. Increasing or stable cashbalances suggest that a company is able to meet its cash needs, andremain solvent. This information cannot always be seen in the incomestatement or the balance sheet of the company. For instance, acompany may be generating, profit, but still have difficulty in remainingsolvent.The cash flow statement breaks the source of cash generation intothree sections: operational cash flow, investing, and financing. Thisbreakdown allows the user of financial statement to determine wherethe company is deriving its cash for operations. For Example, a

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    50/79

    company may be nationally profitable but generating little operationalcash (as may be the case for a company that barters its products rather

    than selling for cash). In such a case, the company may be derivingadditional operating cash by issuing shares, or raising additional debtfinance.Companies that has announced significant write down of assets,particularly goodwill, may have substantially higher cash flows than theannounce earnings would indicate. 'Strong cash flow is one of the mostattractive aspects of the cell phone business, allowing operators like

    BSNL to return money to shareholders even as they rack up hugepaper loses.In certain cases, cash flow statements may allow careful analyst todetect problems that would not be evident from the other financialstatement alone. For example, World com committed an accountingfraud that was discovered at 2002; the fraud consists primarily oftreating ongoing expanses as capital investment, thereby fraudulently

    boosting net income. Use of one measure ofcash have detected that there was no change in overall cash flow.Cash flow statements facilitate decision making by providing a basis of judgments concerning the profitability, financial condition, andfinancialmanagement of a company.The cash cycle (also known as the operating cycle or the earningscycle) in BSNL is the series of transactions or economic events in a

    given companygiven by:1. Cash is converted into goods and services.

    2. Goods and services are sold to customers like recharge coupons,sim card, etc.

    3. Cash is collected from customers by mean of telephone, mobileand internet bills.

    BUDGETING IN BSNL

    Budgeting in a business sense is a planned allocation of available fundsto each department within a company. Budgeting allows executives tocontrol overspending in less productive areas and put more companyassets into areas which generate significant innocence or good publicrelation Budgeting is usually handled during meeting with accountants,financial experts and representatives from each department affected bythe budgeting. In personal financing sense, budgeting can meaneliminating monthly living expenses based on previous bills and wages.For example, you can subtract all your known monthly bills from thatfigure even before they arrive. The key to successful budgeting is bothflexibility and inflexibility. Certain expenses are fixed, so payment ofthose bills should be an inflexible element. Nothing is more importantthan paying those particular bills in full. In business, departments needtorn know the absolute ceiling on spending. Budgeting works best when

    very few exceptions made to the upper limits. The idea of fiscalresponsibility is to form a workable budget and stick to it as best aspossible. Budgeting also requires an element of flexibility. It isn't alwayspossible to assign a fixed rupee account on January in expect thebudget to remain stable in July. There are always unexpected eventswhich can drastically change the priorities of a company or anindividual. Without flexible budgeting, money allocate for one porpoise

    could not be reallocate during a fiscal emergency. An unexpected dropin sales revenue in March can affect the budgeting plans in November,so accountants and financial officers need to adjust their figuresregularly.When economic times and good, many people become relax aboutpersonal budgeting. As long as there is more money coming in thangoing out, all is

  • 8/14/2019 Anuradha Pol Sgrrits Hb

    56/79

    well. But those who learn to establish a workable budget and keepwithin it during the lean time often survive major financial crises better

    than those who don't. Financial discipline can spell the differencebetween weathering the storm and declaring bankruptcy. In BSNL thebudget are always made in the month of august by taking an idea aboutthe money spends from April to august than the project budget isformed up to march. For making budget we basically take the last two orthree year data.
