Summer Internship plays a vital role in the development of future managers. Notonly does it provide insights about the organisation concerned, it also bridges thegap between theory and practical knowledge. I was fortunate that I wasprovided with an opportunity of undergoing summer internship at INDIAN OILCORPORATION Ltd., Barauni, one of the leading refineries in India. Theexperience gained during this short period was fascinating to say the least. Itwas a tremendous feeling to observe the working of Finance Department. It was overwhelming for us to notice how such a big refinery isbeing managed with proper co-ordination to obtain desiredresults. During my training I realized that in order to be a successful manager one needs to possess a sound theoretical base alongwith the acumen for effective practical application of the theory. Thus, I hopethat this summer internship will serve as a stepping-stone for me and will help mein being successful in future.

HISTORY
Beginning of Petroleum Refining in India In 1881, Assam Railway & Trading co. began laying of tracks in Assam. They used elephants in place of cranes. One day, one of the elephants wandered away, to come back with its feet smeared by slimy oil. Backtracking led to the discovery of oil in Borbil near present day Digboi.A Canadian driller, Willey Leove hollered at native boys, Dig boy dig . Oil was struck and the name Digboi stuck. Digboi became the birth place of India s oil industry In 1890s, crude oil distillate at Margherita, 16 Km away from Digboi, in cast iron pans, called Stills Digboi Refinery of Assam Oil Company (AOC) commissioned at its present location in 1901 with 500 bbl./day capacity AOC nationalised and its Refining and Marketing functions merged with IOC in October, 1981.Digboi refinery is one of the oldest refineries in the world that is still working.

COMPANY HISTORY
Beginning in 1959 as IndianOil Company Limited, IndianOil Corporation Limited was formed in 1964 with the merger of Indian Refineries Limited (Estd. 1958)
Wartime rationing lasted until 1950, and a shortage of oil products continued until well after independence. The government s 1948 industrial policy resolution declared the oil industry to be an area of the economy that should be reserved for state ownership and control, stipulating that all new units should be government owned unless specifically authorized. In 1959, theIndianOil Company was founded as a statutory body.Indian oil owes its origin to the Indian government s conflict with foreign oil companies in the period immediately following India s independence in 1947. The leaders of the newly independent state found that much of the country s oil industry was effectively in the hands of a private monopoly
14
led by a combination of British owned oil companies Burmah and Shell and U.S. At first, itsobjective was to supply oil products to Indian state enterprises. Then it was made responsible for the sale of the products of state refineries. After a 1961 price war with the foreign companies, it emerged as the nation s major marketing body for the export and import of oil and gas. In September 1964, Indian Refineries Limited and the Indian Oil Company were merged to form the Indian Oil Corporation .The government announced that all future refinery partnership would be required to sell their products through Indian Oil. It was widely expected that Indian Oil and India sOil and Natural Gas Commission(ONGC) would eventually be merged into a single state monopoly company. Bothcompanies grew vastly in size and sales volume but despite close links, they remained separate. A policy of state control was reinforced due toIndia s closer economic and political links with the Soviet Union and its isolation from the mainstream of the western multinational capitalism. India and the USSR entered into a number of trade deals.one of the most important of these trade pacts allowed Indian Oil to import oil from the USSR and Romania at price lower than those prevailing in world markets did didand to pay in local currency, rather than dollars or other convertible currencies. By the end of the 1980s, India soil consumption continued to grow at 8% per year, andIndian Oil expanded its capacity to about 150 million barrels of crude per annum.In1989, Indian Oil announced plans to build a new refinery Paradeep and modernize the Digboi refinery, India s oldest. By the early 1990s, IndianOil refined, produced, and transported petroleum products throughout India. Indian Oil produced crude oil, base oil, formula products, lubricants, greases, and other petroleum products.
15
It was organized into three divisions. The refineries and the pipelines division had six refineries located at Guwahati,Barauni,Gujarat, Haldia, Mathura and Digboi. Together, thesix represented 45% of the country s refining capacity. The division also laid and managed oil pipelines. The marketing division was responsible for storage and distribution and controlled about 60% of the total oil industry sales .The Assam oil division controlled the marketing and distribution of the formally British - owned company. In early 2002, Indian Oil acquired IBP, a state owned petroleum marketing company. The firm also purchased a 26 per cent stake in financially troubled Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd. InApril of that year,Indian Oil s monopoly over crude imports ended as deregulation of the petroleum industry came into effect .As a result; the company faced increased competition from large international firms as well as new domestic entrants to the market .During the first 45 days of deregulation, Indian Oil lost Rs. 7.25 billion, a signal that the India s largest oil refinery would indeed face challenges as a result of the changes. Nevertheless, Indian Oil management believed that the deregulation would bring lucrative opportunities to the company and would eventually allow it to become one of the top 100 companies on the Fortune 500- and in 2001, the company was ranked 209. Since then Indian Oil has maintained its position in the list with ever improving performance. Indian Oil, India s flagship energy corporate, continued to lead the set of Indian companies in the prestigious Fortune Global 500 listing of the world s largest companies by sales for the year 2011 with an overall ranking of 98.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
AN INTRODUCTION
Research is a systematic activity to achiev the truth .Research includes the procedure of collecting data, analysing the data and finding the conclusion or truth.Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define research asa scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is anart of scientific investigation. The Advanced Learner s Dictionary of Current English lays down themeaning of research as a careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts inany branch of knowledge. It is actually a voyage of discovery. We all possess the vital instinct of inquisitivenessfor, when the unknown confronts us, we wonder and our inquisitiveness makes us probe and attainfull and fuller understanding of the unknown. This inquisitiveness is the mother of all knowledge andthe method, which man employs for obtaining the knowledge of whatever the unknown, can betermed as research.
Research is a systematic inquiry Research is an investigation into a subject or specific field of knowledge Research is undertaken to establishfacts or principles Research is an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge, thus furthering its advancement
41
TYPE OF RESEARCH
The type of research used while carrying out this research process is analytical research and empirical research.In analytical research,the researcher has to use facts or information already available, and analyze these to make a critical evaluation of the material or process.Empirical research relies on experience orobservation alone, often without due regard for system and theory. It is data-based research,coming up with conclusions which are capable of being verified by observation or experiment.
RESEARCH APPROACH
There are two basic approaches to research, viz., quantitative approachand the qualitative approach. The formerinvolves the generation of data in quantitative form, which can be subjected to rigorous quantitative analysis in a formal and rigid fashion. Qualitative approach to research is concerned with subjective assessment of attitudes, opinions and behaviour. Research in such a situation is a function of researcher s insights and impressions. Such an approach to research generates results either in non-quantitative form or in the form, which are not subjected to rigorous quantitative analysis. Quantitative approach to research is used in this case to generate data in quantitative form.
DATA SOURCE
The data source refes to the sources from which the data are collected for conducting the study.Data may be of two types1. Primary Data 2. Secondary Data
42
PRIMARY DATA The data which are collected from the field under the control and supervision of an investigator is known as Primary Data.This type of data are generally afresh and collected for the first time.In this case primary data was mainly collected through 1. unstru tur d p sonal int rvi s which involved personal discussions without any premoulded question set 2. cont nt anal sis using documentary materials such as news paper,statistical reports,etc. SECONDARY DATA Secondary data are collected from the sources which have been already collected for purpose other than the problem at hand.Secondary data were collected from 1. Company files and reports, 2. Annual reports and brochures of the company, 3. Business journals and magazines, 4. Records of the company, 5. Internet websites, 6. Books on Financial Management
43
44
Finance is the study of money management, the acquisition of funds (cash) and the directing of these funds to meet particular objectives. Good financial management helps businesses to maximize returns while simultaneously minimizing risks
SCOPE/ELEMENTS
1. Inv st nt d cisions- Includes investment in fixed assets (called as capital budgeting).Investment in current assets are also a part of investment decisions called as working capital decisions. 2. Financial d cisions - They relate to the raising of finance from various resources which will depend upon decision on type of source, period of financing, cost of financing and the returns thereby. 3. Divid nd d cision - The finance manager has to take decision with regards to the net profit distribution. Net profits are generally divided into two: a. Dividend for shareholders b. Retained profits
1. To ensure regular and adequate supply of funds to the concern 2. To ensure adequate returns to the shareholders which will depend upon the earning capacity, market price of the share, expectations of the shareholders 3. To ensure optimum funds utilization. Once the funds are procured, they should be utilized in maximum possible way at least cost 4. To ensure safety on investment, i.e, funds should be invested in safe ventures so that adequate rate of return can be achieved 5. To plan a sound capital structure-There should be sound and fair composition of capital so that a balance is maintained between debt and equity capital

make up for the impact of taxation and inflation. Else, they spend it on discretionary items. They need to be able to take the financial decisions
that are intended to benefit them in the long run and help them achieve their financial goals. From an or anizational point of vi , the process of financial management is associated with financial planning and financial control. Financial planning seeks to quantify various financial resources available and plan the size and timing of expenditures. Financial control refers to monitoring cash flow. Inflow is the amount of money coming into a particular company, while outflow is a record of the expenditure being made by the company. Managing this movement of funds in relation to the budget is essential for a business. At the corporat l v l, the main aim of the process of managing finances is to achieve the various goals a company sets at a given point of time. Businesses also seek to generate substantial amounts of profits, following a particular set of financial processes.
this investment, or capital allocation, decisionrequires estimating the value of each opportunity or project, which is a function of the size, timing and predictability of future cash flows. Importance of investment decision: They influence firms growth in long run. They effect the risk of the firm. They involve commitment of large amountof funds. They are among the most difficultdecisions to make. Types of investment:
Payback Period
Payback period is the time duration required to recoup the investment committed to a project. Business enterprises following payback period use "stipulated payback period", which acts as a standard for screening the project. Computation of Payback Period
48
Acceptance Rule A project would be accepted if its payback period is less than the maximum payback period set by the management.
Where,
Acceptance Rule The projects whose rates of return are higher than the cut-off rate set by the management are accepted
Where, , , represent net cash inflows in year 1,2, .,k is the opportunity cost of capital, is initial cost of investment and n is the expected life of investment. Acceptance Rules Projects whose NPV is positive are accepted and projects whose NPV is equivalent to zero may be accepted.
50
AcceptanceRules A project is accepted if its IRR is higher than the opportunity cost of capital.
Profitability Index (
Profitability index (PI) is the ratio of present value of cash inflows to the initial cash outflow. The present values of cash flows are obtained at a discount rate equivalent tothe cost of capital. Computation of Profitability Index ( )
Acceptance Rule Select all projects whose profitability index is greater than or equivalent to one.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Sensitivity analysis is a technique for investigating the impact of changes in project variables on the base-case (most probable outcome scenario). Typically, onlyadverse changes are considered in sensitivity analysis.

The purpose of sensitivity analysis is: (i) to help identify the key variables which influence the project cost and benefit streams. (ii) to investigate the consequences of likely adverse changes in these key variables; (iii) to assess whether project decisions are likely to be affected by such changes; and, (iv) to identify actions that could mitigate possible adverse effects on the project.

Implementation of operating plans may become difficult and consequentlythe profit goals may not be achieved. Cash crisis may emerge due to paucity of working funds. Optimum capacity utilisation of fixed assets may not be achieved dueto non-availability of the working capital. The business may fail to honour its commitment in time, therebyadversely affecting its credibility. This situation may lead to businessclosure. The business may be compelled to buy raw materials on credit and sellfinished goods on cash. In the process it may end up with increasingcost of purchases and reducing selling prices by offering discounts. Both these situations would affect profitability adversely. Non-availability of stocks due to non-availability of funds may resultin production stoppage.
While underassessment of working capital has disastrous implications on business, over assessment of working capital also has its own dangers. CONSEQUENCES OF OVER ASSESSMENT OF ORKING CAPITAL Excess of working capital may result in unnecessary accumulation ofinventories. It may lead to offer too liberal credit terms to buyers and very poorrecovery system and cash management. It may make management complacent leading to its inefficiency. Over-investment in working capital makes capital less productive andmay reduce return on investment. Working capital is very essential for success of a business and, therefore, needs efficient management and control. Each of the components of the working capital needs proper management to optimise profit.
In entory Management
Inventory includes all types of stocks. For effective working capital management, inventory needs to be managed effectively. The level of inventory should be such that the total cost of ordering and holding
54
inventory is the least. Simultaneously, stock out costs should also be minimised. Business, therefore,should fix the minimum safety stock level, re-order level and ordering quantity so that the inventory cost is reduced and its management becomes efficient.
Each business should project expected sales and expected investment inreceivables based on various factors, which influence the working capitalrequirement. From this it would be possible to find out the average credit daysusing the above given formula. A business should continuously try to monitorthe credit days and see that the average
55
credit offered to clients is notcrossing the budgeted period. Otherwise, the requirement of investment in theworking capital would increase and, as a result, activities may get squeezed. This may lead to cash crisis.
Cash Management
Cash is the most liquid current asset. It is of vital importance to the daily operationsof business. While the proportion of assets held in the form of cash isvery small, its efficient management is crucial to the solvency of the business. Therefore, planning cash and controlling its use are very important tasks.
2.) W-I-P Holding period=Average w-i-p in inventory/Average cost of production per day. 3.) Stores and spares conversion period= Average stock of Stores and spares/Average consumption per day. 4.) Finished goods conversion period= Average stock of finished goods/Average cost of goods sold per day. 5.) Debtors collection period=Average book debts/Average credit sales per day. 6.) Credit period availed=Average trade creditors/Average credit purchase per day.

SENSITIVITY
To meet future needs, IndianOil is buildingadequate refining capacity through capacityexpansions of existing refineries .Various technologies are being implemented to meet the demandfor middle distillates and improve the quality ofIndia s petroleum products. As a part of the continued efforts towards energy conservation, a number of Energy Conversation projects have been implemented during 2009-10 in Refineries, resulting in savings of around 82,000 SRFT in 2009-10 Flare gas recovery system at Barauni Refinery is also one of them. As a part of modernisation of Oil Movement & Storage (OM&S) facilities, Automation of Tank Wagon loadingand Blending Automation at Barauni refinery has been implemented. Thus, various projects have been implemented and are being implemented at Barauni refinery. For evaluation of these projects and calculation of cash inflows and outflows during the lifetime of project under various circumstances, capital budgeting techniques and sensitivity analysis is used.Capitalbudgeting is more or less a continuous process and it is carried out by different functional areas of management such a production, marketing, engineering, financial management etc. All the relevant functional departments play a crucial role in the capital budgeting decision process. Capital Budgeting Process followed at IOCL, Barauni Refinery:1. Identification of investment proposal. 2. Screening the proposal. 3. Evaluation of various proposals. 4. Fixing priorities. 5. Final approval & preparation of capital expenditurebudget. 6. Implementing proposal. 7. Performance review.
58
Identification of investment proposal:The capital budgeting process begins with the identification ofinvestment proposal. The proposal or idea about potential investmentopportunities may originate from the top of management or may come from the rank and file workers of any department or from any officers of theorganization. The departmental head analyses the various proposals in thelight of the corporate strategies and submits the suitable proposals to thecapital expenditures planning committee. Screening the proposal:The expenditures planning committee screens the various proposals receivedfrom different departments. The committee view these proposals from variousangles to ensure that these are in accordance with the corporate strategies and do not lead to the departmentimbalances. Evaluation of various proposals:The next step in the capital budgeting process is to evaluate the profitability ofvarious proposals. Methods, which used for this purposeat IOCL, are payback period method, internal rate of return method and net present valuemethod. Fixing priorities:After evaluating various proposals, the unprofitable proposals may be rejectedstraight away. Various proposals are ranked and priorities are assigned afterconsidering urgency, risk and profitability involved there in. Final approval & preparation of capital expenditure budget:Proposals meeting the evaluation and other criteria are finally approved after sensitivity analysis to beincluded in the capital expenditure budget. The capital expenditures budget lays down the amount of the
59
Implementing proposals:Translating an investment proposal into a concrete project is a complex,time consuming, and risk- fraught task. Specific responsibility to project managers for completing the project within the defined period and cost limits is assigned. Performance Review:Performance review, or post completion audit, is done for comparing actual performance with projected performance. It throws light on how realistic were the assumptions underlying theproject. Types of investment decisions:1. Expansion of existing business. 2. Expansion of new business.

(iii) possible combinations of variables that may change simultaneouslyin an adverse direction are considered
(iv) analyze the direction and scale of likely changes for the key variables identified, involving identification of the sources of change are identified This can be better understood by the example on the next page

AT
Barauni Refinery Unit (IOCL) follows a restrictive policy. It maintains minimum level of current assets. But this unit does not maintain the working capital fund separately; it shows this account in their annual budget. Barauni Refinery Unit does not deal directly. But in spite of this, Refinery Unit maintains the working capital at some extent to meet out the following requirements:
To maintain inventories (Raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, chemical, stores and spares) To pay wages and salary To incur day-to-day expenses and overheads cost such as fuel, power and office expenses.
Note: To provide credit facilities to the customers is not applicable to Barauni Refinery. It is because the finished pr oducts are directly sent to the Marketing Division. Yet creditors may arise due to the lengthy process of book payment system.

in the context of Barauni Refinery Unit (IOCL), the working capital requirement is mainly determined by factors like nature of the business, manufacturing process, sales volume and turnover, production policy and operating efficiency. Credit policy, seasonal fluctuation and are not applicable in Barauni Refinery. This is a manufacturing concern and its working depends on the manufacturing cycle and the time tag between production and sale. The sales volume and turnover also has an impact on the holding period of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods and ultimately affects the working capital requirement for the concerned department. The cyclical and seasonal fluctuations as do not affect the business as the final product are utilized throughout the year.

Crude Oil Inventories Inventories for chemicals Inventories for stores and spares

Identification the need for Crude Oil Inventories and system of placing the order The Barauni Refinery Unit (IOCL) identifies the need for inventories for crude oil through Revenue Budget that is prepared on yearly basis.In the Revenue Budget, the estimate for the consumption of Crude Oil inventories for the next year is estimated on the past experience basis. The Barauni Refinery Unit (IOCL) prepares Revenue Budget every year in mid-September. In the month of September, the Budgeted Estimates (BE) for the next year and Revised Estimates (RE) for the current year are prepared, for which the Budgeted Estimates (BE) is prepared in the previous year. For example:- In the financial year 2007-08 in the month of September, the Budgeted Estimates (BE) for the financial year 2008-09 the Revised Estimates (RE) for the next six months 2007-08 were prepared. Revised Estimates (RE): Revised Estimates is prepared after six months of applications of budget estimates. The purpose of preparing Revised Estimates is to know that during the present six months what are the actual expenses or income exits and on what basis they have been prepared. They collect this information, about expenses or incomes from the concerned officers or employees. They also provider information regarding what will be the expenses and incomes for the basis they next six months. On this basis, they prepare estimate for the next six months. Identify of the need for chemicals and spares: Identification of need for chemicals depends on the quantity and types of crude oil processed. The quantity for chemicals is decided in the ratio of quantity and types of crude oil processed. Orders regarding the purchase of chemicals and spares are made on past experiences. Inventory is maintained on approximation. The user department sends the need for the item to the Material department along with the consumption pattern. The reorder point is fixed in certain cases and then the order goes to the Purchase department.
91
Inventory control items, which are fixed where the reorder point or indent, is raised and the consumption pattern is studied. Where consumption pattern is not known, preventive maintenance processes are undertaken on cash basis.
When an indent is raised and if it is universally available, quotations or order is placed and the best is selected amongst all. In case of wholesale items, order is placed to the authorized dealer who manufactures the items as per the requirement. Issue system of inventory for Barauni Refinery Unit
Barauni Refinery Unit (IOCL): issues inventories for the production process and for the sale to the Marketing Division on First in First Out (FIFO) basis. Here there is a continuous flow of crude oil. Every day crude oil is supplied to Refinery and there is a continuous supply of finished product to the Marketing Division. Every day crude oil is processed or converted in to finished product and everyday it is sent to the stores and thereafter it is sent to the Marketing Division. Crude oil enters in the tank, it is sent for the process, and after processing, it is sent to the stores. All this happens automatically. This means that the crude oil, which enters the tank, first, is sent for the processing first and after processing; it is sent to the sores. From the stores it is sent to the Marketing Division and then the crude oil is sent for the process and so on. This is a continuous process and it works on FIFO basis. Stores Management: There is a separate department in Barauni Refinery Unit (IOCL) Oil Storage and Movement Department, which manages and maintains the movement of crude oil, intermediate products and finished goods.
92

Trade credit arises when a firm sells its products or services on credit and doesn t receive cash immediately. A firm grants trade credit to protect its sales from the competitors and to attract the potential customers to buy its products at favorable terms. The receivables out of the credit sales crunch the availability of the resources to meet the day today requirements. The acute competition requires the firm to sustain among the other competitors through more volume of credit sales and in the intention of retaining the existing customers. OBJECTIVES: 1) Achieving the growth in the volume of sales 2) Increasing the volume of profits 3) Meeting the acute competition
Capital cost: Due to in sufficient amount of working capital with reference to more volume of credit sales which drastically affects the existing of the working capital of the firm. The firm may be required to borrow which may lead to pay certain amount of interest on the borrowings.
