Working Capital

Cash is king. This page answers three questions in 30 seconds: where is my money stuck, what you owe short-term, and what should I do this week. Every number is sliceable by segment.

What you owe (short-term)

Three economically distinct buckets — not all of them are 'funding' in the real sense

Real working-capital funding

Genuine third-party capital

Someone is actually lending you money or delaying their claim so you can operate. More of this is good — others funding your growth.

Vendor credit (trade payables)
Vendors billed you, you haven't paid — their money working for you
₹141,600
Customer advances
Customers paid you before delivery — their money in your bank
₹0
Subtotal · real funding ₹141,600

Tax & statutory timing floats

Not yours — in transit to govt

Money you've collected for the government and are holding until due date. This isn't funding — it's a short-term float. The moment you remit, cash leaves your bank.

GST / Duties & Taxes payable
Tax collected from customers in their invoices, due to govt
₹42,826
Subtotal · statutory floats ₹42,826

Set this aside mentally — it leaves your bank on the next statutory due date.

Book accruals (future payments expected)

Accounting-recognised, not cash-in-hand

These are accounting entries recognising liabilities you expect to pay in future (audit fees, bonuses, known expenses). Nobody gave you this money — it's just your books recording a future outflow.

Provisions
Expected future liabilities (audit fee, bonuses, repairs, warranty)
₹52,450
Subtotal · book accruals ₹52,450

Don't mistake this for cash sitting with you — these represent future outflows your P&L has already booked as expense.

Total short-term obligations
Real funding + tax floats + book accruals
₹236,876

Net working capital position

Tally cross-party netting detected

Your Creditors Ageing file shows gross payables that the TB's Sundry Creditors line is not reflecting — because a vendor's credit balance is grouped inside a debtor ledger. Working Capital view uses the ageing-file gross figures.

TB Sundry Creditors is under-stating gross obligations by ₹123,900. Below, Trade Payables is read from the ageing file — the party-level truth.

How old is the money owed to you

Older the bucket, lower the collection odds

Current ₹29,500
1-30 days ₹35,400
31-60 days ₹123,400
61-90 days ₹0
90+ days ₹74,401

Industry rule of thumb: anything past 90 days has < 50% collection probability.

What to do this week

Computed from TB + Debtors Ageing + P&L waterfall. DSO = (Receivables ÷ Revenue) × period days · DPO = (Payables ÷ Purchases) × period days · Cash Cycle = DSO − DPO (services firms have no inventory, so no DIO component).
