...The project mainly focuses in detail the Financial Ratios and also understanding of the working capital management of IRCTC. This report will analysis and describe different ratios and how it manages its working capital. “It is meaningless to financially analyse a company without understanding the context and environment in which it operates”. As IRCTC has its monopoly in Indian Railways, so we will take a close look to intra firm analysis. A ratio is an arithmetical relationship between two figures. Financial ratio analysis is a study of ratios between various items or groups of items in financial statements. Ratios can be classified according to statements mainly they are profit and loss ratios or income statement ratios, balance sheet ratios or position statement ratios, mixed ratio or inter statement ratios The ratios are calculated with the help of Annual report of IRCTC provided by the company; the data of last five financial years has been used for that. The project begins with the discussion about the scenario of Indian Railway and role of IRCTC in that. The project then describes the main concept- Ratios and their analysis by determining that why the ratios have changed, which can be due to the change in the accounting policies without a material change in the firm’s performance. The focus of the project then shifts to Working capital which is concerned with the problems that arise in attempting to manage current assets, the current liabilities and the interrelationship...

...CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION 1.1 MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL “Working Capital is the Life-Blood and Controlling Nerve Center of a business” Working capital (abbreviated WC) is a financial metric which represents operating liquidity available to a business, organization or other entity, including governmental entity. Along with fixed assets such as plant and equipment, working capital is considered a part of operating capital. Net working capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. It is a derivation of working capital that is commonly used in valuation techniques such as DCFs (Discounted cash flows). If current assets are less than current liabilities, an entity has a working capital deficiency, also called a working capital deficit. A company can be endowed with assets and profitability but short of liquidity if its assets cannot readily be converted into cash. Positive working capital is required to ensure that a firm is able to continue its operations and that it has sufficient funds to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses. The management of working capital involves managing inventories, accounts receivable and payable, and cash. Current assets and current liabilities include three accounts which are of special importance. These accounts represent the areas of the business where managers have the most direct impact: Accounts receivable (current asset) Inventory (current assets), Accounts payable (current liability) ...
