 The cash flow statement is a central component of corporate cash flow management.

The following report is about the cash management of the leading company of automobile
sector, TATA MOTORS.
The Indian automobile industry has historically been a good indicator of how well the economy is doing, as the
automobile sector plays a key role in both macroeconomic expansion and technological advancement. The
two-wheelers segment dominates the market in terms of volume, owing to a growing middle class and a huge
percentage of India’s population being young. Moreover, the growing interest of companies in exploring the
rural markets further aided the growth of the sector. The rising logistics and passenger transportation industries
are driving up demand for commercial vehicles. Future market growth is anticipated to be fueled by new trends
including the electrification of vehicles, particularly three-wheelers and small passenger automobiles.

India enjoys a strong position in the global heavy vehicles market as it is the largest tractor producer, second-
largest bus manufacturer, and third-largest heavy truck manufacturer in the world. India’s annual production of
automobiles in FY22 was 22.93 million vehicles. India has a strong market in terms of domestic demand and
exports. In FY23, total passenger vehicle sales reached 3.89 million. In FY23, total automobile exports from
India stood at 47,61,487. This sector's share of the national GDP increased from 2.77% in 1992-1993 to around
7.1% presently. It employs about 19 million people directly and indirectly.

 INTRODUCTION

Financial statements are prepared primarily for decision making. They play a dominant role in
setting the framework of managerial decisions. But the information provided in the financial
settlements is not an end in itself as no meaningful conclusions can be drawn from these
statements alone. However, the information provided in the financial statements is of immense
use in making decisions through analysis and interpretation of financial statements. Financial
analysis is the „process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by
the properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and the profit
and loss account’. There are various methods or techniques used in analyzing financial
statements, such as comparative statements, trend analysis, common-size statements, schedule of
changes in working capital, fund flow and cash flow analysis, cost-volume-profit analysis and
ratio analysis.

 MEANINGOFFINANCIALANALYSIS-
The term „financial analysis‟, also known as analysis and interpretation of financial statements,
refers to the process of determining financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by
establishing strategic relationship between the items of the balance sheet, profit and loss account
and other operative data.

The purpose of financial analysis is to diagnose the information contained in financialstatements

so as to judge the profitability and financial soundness of the firm. Just like a doctor examine his
patient by recording his body temperature, blood pressure, etc. before making his conclusion
regarding the illness and before giving his treatment statement, a financial analyst analysis the
financial statement with various tools of analysis before commenting upon the financial health
and weakness of an enterprise.

  IMPORTANTTERMSUNDERFINANCIALANALYSIS-
The term „financial statement analysis‟ includes both „analysis‟ and „interpretation‟. A
distinction should, therefore, be made between the two terms. These two terms are separately
explained below-

Analysis- The term „analysis‟ is used to mean the simplification of financial data by
methodical classification of the data given in the financial statements.

Interpretation- The term „interpretation‟ means explaining the meaning and significance of
the data in the simplified form.

However, both analysis and interpretation are interlinked and complementary to each other.
Analysis is useless without interpretation and interpretation without analysis is difficult or even
impossible. In fact, The term „analysis‟ used only to cover the meaning of both analysis and
interpretation as the objective of analysis is to study the relationship between various items of
financial statement by interpretation. Even the term ‘financial statement analysis’ or simply
‘financial analysis’ is used to cover the meaning of both analysis and interpretation.Overall,
a central focus of financial analysis is evaluating the company‟s ability to earn a return on its
capital thatis at least equal to the cost of that capital, to profitablygrow its operations, and to
generate enough cash to meet obligations and pursue opportunities.

 FINANCIALANALYSISOUTCOMES

 Whetherto investin abusiness, andat whatpriceper share.

 Whetherto lend moneytoabusiness, and if so, what terms tooffer.
 Whetherto invest internallyin an asset or workingcapital, andhowto finance it.

The goal of financial analysis is to analyze whether an entity is stable, solvent, liquid, or
profitable enough to warrant a monetary investment. It is used to evaluate economic trends, set
financial policy, build long-term plans for business activity, and identify projects or companies
for investment.

 RESEARCHMETHODOLOGY-
 MEANINGOFRESEARCHMETHODOLOGY-

Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data; documentation of

critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in accordance
with suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic disciplines.

The search for knowledge is closely linked to the object of study; that is, to thereconstruction
of the facts that will provide an explanation to an observed event and that at first sight can be
considered as a problem. It is very human to seek answers and satisfy our curiosity.

Accordingto the American sociologist Earl Robert Babbie, “Research is a systematic inquiry
to describe, explain, predict, and control the observed phenomenon. It involves inductive and
deductive methods.”

 RESEARCHDESIGN-

The research design refers to the overall strategy that you choose to integrate the different
componentsofthe studyinacoherent andlogical way,thereby,ensuring youwilleffectively

Themethod section ofa reportdetails how the research was conducted,the research methods
used and the reasons for choosing those methods. It should outline:

 Theparticipantsandresearchmethodsused,e.g.surveys/questionnaire,interviews refer to
other relevant studies.
 Themethodologyis astep-by-stepexplanation of theresearch process.

This report adopts the descriptive method of study, where the financial performance of two
banks, ICICI bank and HDFC bank was analyzed. The balance sheet of both the firms has
been compared and then necessary suggestions are given on the basis of interpretation and
analysis. The data is taken from the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Accounts for the termof
five years from 2018 to 2022. The research was conducted by using the secondary data
collected from various websites, articles, journals, books, etc.

Thestudyinpresent ismainlybasedon secondarysources ofdata.

 NATUREOFDATA-

In research methodology, data must be collected.And there are two sources of collection of
data, i.e.

SECONDARYDATA:

Secondary data means data that are already available i.e., refer to the data which have
already been collected and analyzed by someone else. When the researcher utilizedsecondary
data, then he has to look into various sources from where it can be obtained.In this case
certainly he is not conformed to the problem that is usually associated with collection of
original data.

Annual report- The financial analysis of the company is done with the help of the annual
report published by the company during the period.

Booklets, Catalogs& filesandwebsite- Various other information of the companyis

taken by the various other manuals of the company.This report is based on the secondary data
collected through various sources.Data has been collected by the various documents available
in the finance department.The theory has been collected from the details available

23
Therefore, data is collected from published academics, journals, company report, newspaper
relevant to the topic that has been considered to carryout research while selecting secondary
data, due care has been taken for its reliability, relevancy & consistency in nature.

 TOOLSANDANALYSIS-

The tabulated data has been analyzed thoroughly through various ratios and graphs, which is
used for the comparison.It is essential to use a systematic research methodology for the
assessment of project because without the use of a research methodology analysis of any
company or organization will not be possible.In the present analysis mostly secondary data
has been used. It is worth a while to mention that I have used the following types ofpublished
data:

 BALANCESHEET

 2) ADVANCES-

Advance is the amount that banks lend to individuals and companies. They charge interest on
loans. Interest rates vary depending on the terms and conditions of such credit. Banks raise
money to lend through different sources like deposits, money market and so on.

Now, let's take a look at the other side of the equation, which are loans. Banks use their deposits
to disburse loans or advances as they call it in banking parlance. The growth of advances should
keep up with the growth of a bank's deposits. Some examples of loans and advances-

51
 3) NETINTERESTINCOME(NII)-

The banking industry is extremely competitive. A bank wants you to park your money with itand
not with its peers. In a bid to acquire more deposits, a bank offers you incentives on your
deposits. This incentive is called interest which is calculated as a percentage of your deposits.
Interest paid to depositors is a major cost incurred by a bank. It constitutes a large chunk of its
total expenses.

On the other hand, a bank charges interest on loans offered. Interest earned through loans is a
major source of revenue for a bank and constitutes a large chunk of its total revenue.

The interest charged to borrowers is always higher than the interest offered to depositors.
The difference between the interest earned and interest paid is the bank's gross income.
This differential is also known as net interest income (NII).

The following table shows how HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank net interest income against each
other.

 4) NETINTERESTMARGIN(NIM)-
Net interest margin (NIM) is a measure of the difference between the interest income generated
by banks or other financial institutions and the amount of interest paid out to their lenders (for
example, deposits), relative to the amount of their (interest-earning) assets.

Net interest margin (NIM) is basically net interest income divided by the total amount of loan
disbursed by a bank. It is one of the measures of a bank's profitability. Therefore, the higher the
NIM the better it is for banks.

This ratio talks about the NIM, means how much interest an investor receives over how much
they pays out.

A positive net interest margin means an enterprise is running profitably. At the same time, a
negative figure indicates the inefficiency of the investment. A firm can take corrective action in
the latter scenario by applying funds to outstanding debt or transferring those assets to more
