Indirect Cash Flow Statement

Full line-by-line build from PAT — including per-ledger detail for every working-capital and non-cash adjustment

Starts from PAT (from the P&L). Non-cash items are added back. WC deltas are computed from opening vs closing balances in the TB. Tax & interest paid come from the Payments Register (voucher-level).

How to use this: scan for the component on the Indirect side whose sign/magnitude doesn't match a corresponding category on the Direct side. Common suspects: (a) a "Provisions / Bad Debts / Write-offs" add-back that's larger than expected — means an expense got tagged non-cash that actually hit the bank; (b) a WC line whose Δ is big but the matching Direct category is small (mis-tagged wc_component); (c) "Income Tax paid" line smaller than the Direct "Tax Paid" category — means some tax payments used ledger names the Indirect regex doesn't catch (e.g. "TCS", "Professional Tax").

Per-ledger Operating variance 40 ledgers · every rupee traced

Sum of the Δ column equals the Operating variance between methods. Rows with Δ > 0 = Indirect over-counts; Δ < 0 = Indirect under-counts. Sort: biggest absolute variance first.

How to read this: each ledger contributes a specific amount to Indirect Operating (per accrual rules: income ⇒ +Cr−Dr, expense ⇒ −(Dr−Cr), asset WC ⇒ −(Dr−Cr), liability WC ⇒ +(Cr−Dr)). Direct attributes cash flow per actual voucher processing. Where the two diverge by a non-trivial amount, it's a specific mapping / classification / treatment issue on that ledger — not "rounding". Click a row's ledger name in a future version to see every voucher that touched it.

Equity ledgers pulled into Indirect engine 4 ledger(s) · debug Financing variance

Everything here contributes to raw_eq_delta; PAT is subtracted at end. If your P&L A/c or Reserves ledger is missing from this list, that's why Financing variance = PAT — my mask didn't catch it.

PAT adjustment decision: P&L A/c / Reserves grew by ₹816,475.25 of the year's ₹964,675.25 PAT. Subtracting the appropriated portion (₹816,475.25) to avoid double-count with Operating/PBT starting point. The un-appropriated residual (₹148,200.00) stays in Operating — still sitting in live P&L ledgers at window-end.

If Direct's partner-drawings figure ≠ Indirect's equity Δ (after PAT adjustment), that's a mapping/tagging problem. The Direct figure comes from actual Dr <Partner> / Cr Bank voucher lines — this is ground truth. If Indirect says something different, investigate the partner-ledger TB classification or PAT value.
