EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is the leading steel making company in India. It has got one of the prestigious honors i.e. aMAHARATNA COMPANY. It is fully integrated iron and steel maker, producing both basic and special steel for domestic construction engineering, power, railway automotive and defense industries and for safe in export markets. Bokaro Steel Plant The fourth integrated plant in the public sector taking shape in 1965 in collaboration with the Soviet Union. It was originally incorporated as a limited company on 29thJanuary 1964, and was later merged with SAIL first as a subsidiary and then as a unit through the public sector iron & steel companies act1978. Foreign Exchange management is concerned with import and export procedure, mode of import payments along with export payments. The foreign policy of this large scale company is an obligation by the Government of India, as there will be more flow of the foreign currency. The exports are to be looked as a more prime area because revenue is generated from it. In todays world no economy is self sufficient, so there is need for exchange of goods services amongst the different countries. So in this global village, unlike in the primitive age the exchange of goods and services is no longer carried out on barter basis. Every sovereign country in the world has a currency that is legal tender in its territory and this currency does not act as money outside its boundaries. So whenever a country buys or sells goods and services from or to another country, the parties of both countries have to exchange currencies. So we can imagine that if all countries have the currency then there is no need for foreign exchange. Importing is an importing tool for increasing our production as lower labour costs or a different tax regime may mean one countrys prices for a particular product are significantly lower than those in the other country moreover a higher-quality of finished products or raw materials with upgrades the quality level of of the goods produced.

Exports are a part of its revenue but the plant does not fully depend on it as its customers are more of domestic area than the foreigners.

In short it can be said that this project mainly deals with : Procedure of payment of foreign exchange to the importers and exporters through LC, CAD , WIRE TRANSFER and PURCHASE ORDER AS WELL AS HOW FOREIGN EXCHANGE REMIT IS DONE .

CHAPTER-1 A. History of Steel Industry In India The antiquity of mans use of iron attested by references to that metal both in fragmentary writing & inscriptions that survived ancient civilization of Babylon, Mexico, Egypt, China, India, Greece & Rome. However, it is believed that most of the iron used by prehistoric people might have been obtained by fragment of meteorites and it remained a rare metal for many centuries.

For many years after man learned how to extract iron from its ores, the product probably was so relatively soft and unpredictable, that bronze continued to be preferred for many tools and weapons. Eventually iron replaced the nonferrous metal for these purposes when man learned how to master the difficult arts of smelting, forging, hardening and tempering iron. Archeological findings in Mesopotamia and Egypt have proved that iron or steel has been in the service o mankind for nearly 6000 years. The origin of the methods used by early man for Extracting iron from its ores is unknown. Some have suggested that many method accidentally. learned the

Iron, in the beginning was smelted by charcoal made from wood. Later coal was discovered as a great source of heat. Subsequently, it was converted into coke, which was found to be ideal for smelting of iron. Iron kept its dominant place for 200 or more years after the Saugus works that was the first successful Iron Works in America founded in 1646, with the advance of Industrial Revolution, iron formed the rails for newly invented railroad trains. It was also used to amour the sides of the fighting ships. About the mid 19 th century the new age of steel began with the invention of Bessemer process (1856) making steel available in large quantities at reasonable cost. Indian history is also replete with references to the usage of iron and steel. Some of the ancient monuments like the famous iron pillar near New Delhi or the massive beams used in the Sun Temple at Konark bear ample testimony to the technological excellence of the Indian metallurgists.

The history of iron in India goes back to the ancient era. Our ancient literary sources like Rig Veda, the Atbara Veda, the Puranas and other Epics are full of references to iron and its uses in peace and war. According to one of the studies, iron has been produced in India for over 3000 years.

B.Current Position of Steel Industry

Steel industry has a major role to play in the economic growth of India. With new global acquisitions by Indian steel giants, setting up of new state-of-the-art steel mills, modernisation of existing plants, improving energy efficiency and backward integration into global raw material sources, India is now on the centre of the global steel map. Consumption of steel in the construction sector, industrial applications, and transport sector has been on the rise and special steel usage in engineering industries such as power generation, petrochemicals and fertiliser industry is also growing.

India has retained its position as the 5th largest producer in 2010 and recorded a growth of 11.3 per cent as compared to 2009. India has also emerged as the largest sponge iron/direct reduced iron (DRI) producing country in the world in 2010, a rank it has held on since 2002. Sponge iron production grew at a CAGR of 11 per cent to reach a level of 20.74 million tonne (MT) in 2009-10 as compared to 14.83 MT in 2005-06. India is expected to become the second largest producer of steel in the world by 2015-16, on account of growing steel demand, rich resources base of iron ore, skilled manpower and vast experience of steel making and the huge capacity expansion planned and being executed in the steel sector. With the expanding consumer market, Indian steel industry is likely to receive huge domestic and foreign investments. Nearly 222 memorandums of understandings (MoUs) for planned capacity of around 276 MT have been signed between the investors and various State Governments, mostly in Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal. India has recorded a growth of over 8.6 per cent, producing 6.35 MT of steel in March 2011 as against 5.85 MT in the corresponding month in 2010, according to World Steel Association (WSA). Steel exports has increased by 17.3 per cent as it reached an estimated 2.46 MT, while steel imports were at an estimated 5.36 MT, a growth of 2.8 per cent in 2010.

ProductionCrude steel production was registered at 51.57 MT during April-Dec 2010 in the country as per Joint Plant Committee (JPC). The production is expected to be nearly 110 MT by 201213. Crude steel production grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4 per cent during the five years, 2005-06 to 2009-10. The crude steel performance accounted for 31 per cent of the total crude steel production in the country during 2009-10, contributed largely by the strong trends in growth of the electric route of steel making, particularly the induction furnace route, which was a key driver in the growth of the segment. In case of total finished steel (alloy + non-alloy), production for sale was recorded at 47.30 MT, a growth of 7.9 per cent during Apr-Dec 2010. Steel Authority of India (SAIL) Ltd has planned to enhance its hot metal production capacity from the level of 13.82 million tones per annum (MTPA) to 23.46 MTPA under its current phase of expansion and modernization which is expected to be completed by financial year 2012-13. In the next phase, SAIL would increase its capacity further to 26.18 MTPA.The indicative investment for current phase is about US$ 13.28 billion. Additionally, approximately US$ 2.21 billion has been earmarked for modernisation and expansion of SAIL Mines. NMDC Ltd plans to increase the production of iron ore from the present level of about 24 MT to 40 MT by 2014-15. Besides, setting up a 3 MTPA Integrated Steel Plant at Nagarnar in Chhattisgarh. The environmental clearance for the plant has been accorded by Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). ConsumptionThe Indian steel industry has been on a high-growth trajectory led by buoyancy in sectors such as infrastructure and construction, oil and gas and automobiles. The demand for steel is expected to further increase with major international automobile manufacturers setting manufacturing facilities in India. The consumption of steel domestically was recorded at 44.28 MT, indicating further strengthening of demand during Apr-Dec 2010. The consumption of steel in the country has shown an increase of 10.3 per cent during April 2010 to January 2011 as compared to the same period of previous year.

CHAPTER-2 COMPANY PROFILE A. History of SAIL

A Rich Heritage The Precursor SAIL traces its origin to the formative years of an emerging nation - India. After independence the builders of modern India worked with a vision - to lay the infrastructure for rapid industrialisaton of the country. The steel sector was to propel the economic growth. Hindustan Steel Private Limited was set up on January 19, 1954. The President of India held the shares of the company on behalf of the people of India.

Expanding Horizon (1959-1973) Hindustan Steel (HSL) was initially designed to manage only one plant that was coming up at Rourkela. For Bhilai and Durgapur Steel Plants, the preliminary work was done by the Iron and Steel Ministry. From April 1957, the supervision and control of these two steel plants were also transferred to Hindustan Steel. The registered office was originally in New Delhi. It moved to Calcutta in July 1956, and ultimately to Ranchi in December 1959.

A new steel company, Bokaro Steel Limited, was incorporated in January 1964 to construct

and operate the steel plant at Bokaro. The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and Rourkela Steel Plants were completed by the end of December 1961. The 1 MT phase of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in January 1962 after commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL went up from .158 MT (1959-60) to 1.6 MT. The second phase of Bhilai Steel Plant was completed in September 1967 after commissioning of the Wire Rod Mill. The last unit of the 1.8 MT phase of Rourkela - the Tandem Mill - was commissioned in February 1968, and the 1.6 MT stage of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in August 1969 after commissioning of the Furnace in SMS. Thus, with the completion of the 2.5 MT stage at Bhilai, 1.8 MT at Rourkela and 1.6 MT at Durgapur, the total crude steel production capacity of HSL was raised to 3.7 MT in 1968-69 and subsequently to 4MT in 1972-73.

Holding Company

The Ministry of Steel and Mines drafted a policy statement to evolve a new model for managing industry. The policy statement was presented to the Parliament on December 2, 1972. On this basis the concept of creating a holding company to manage inputs and outputs under one umbrella was mooted. This led to the formation of Steel Authority of India Ltd. The company, incorporated on January 24, 1973 with an authorized capital of Rs. 2000 crore, was made responsible for managing five integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur, Rourkela and Burnpur, the Alloy Steel Plant and the Salem Steel Plant. In 1978 SAIL was restructured as an operating company.

Since its inception, SAIL has been instrumental in laying a sound infrastructure for the industrial development of the country. Besides, it has immensely contributed to the development of technical and managerial expertise. It has triggered the secondary and tertiary waves of economic growth by continuously providing the inputs for the consuming industry.

History Bokaro steel plant brings out before ones eyes the vision of a massive giant in the making. Bokaro Steel Plant - the fourth integrated plant in the Public Sector - started taking shape in 1965 in collaboration with the Soviet Union. It was originally incorporated as a limited company on 29th January 1964, and was later merged with SAIL, first as a subsidiary and then as a unit, through the Public Sector Iron & Steel Companies (Restructuring & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1978. The construction work started on 6th/April/1968. The Bokaro Steel Plant is hailed as the countrys first Swadeshi steel plant, built with maximum indigenous content in terms of equipment, material and know-how. Its first Blast Furnace started on 2nd October 1972 and the first phase of 1.7 MT ingots steel was completed on 26th February 1978 with the commissioning of the third Blast Furnace. All units of 4 MT stage have already been commissioned and the 90s' modernization has further upgraded this to 4.5 MT of liquid steel. Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) situated in the coal belt of the eastern region, symbolize Indias advancement in the design, engineering & equipment suppliers & construction of steel plants. It is the 4th integrated steel plants in the public sector conceived in 1959; it actually started taking shapes in 1965, with the collaboration of SOVIET UNION. It was initially set up with a capacity of 1.7 million tones (MT) of flat products per annum with a provision to expand up to 4 million tones .It was incorporated as a limited company. The plant was conceived as the countrys 1st SWADESHI steel plant to be built with maximum indigenization going into the equipments, materials & know-how.

CHAPTER-3 Finance Department of SAIL Finance is described as science of money and involves the process of conversion of accumulated funds to productive use .The essence of the effective financial management is that the income generated should be greater than the cost of procuring and processing the raw materials by optimum utilization of the same. In the recent changed business scenario which is the outcome of changed Indian economic policy from command economy to free economy to integrate the Indian economy to the world economic order .The role of financial manager has become a crucial one since the factor of efficiency in all productivity field has become paramount. In a multi process industry like an integrated steel plant like this one where some processes remain involved in certain endothermic behavior of cost one finds it difficult to prepare the cost benefit analysis ,hence in deciding the optimum level of activity because each level of activity can be attained with the various number of alternative resources available at a particular point in time. F&A is an important department of BSL headed by ED .There are 34 production cost centers, 24 service centers and 18 job costing centers of engineering shops : Cost and budget section allows process costing systems for its production and service centers job costing method for its engineering shops for maintaining its cost record like production and consumption of RM,power,fuel,stores, spares etc. .In production and service cost per unit is determined upon output and in engineering shop cost is determined upon machine hour rate .Monthly and annual cost is prepared on actual basis and derivations are reported to higher management through MIS report. The reporting of actual business performance and analysis of reason for variance with planned one is done by use of management accounting techniques like variance analysis, ratio analysis and sensitivity analysis .Cost reduction activity is being monitored by cost and budget section and performance in this stage is brought to the notice of higher management. Organizations like SAIL which has various units and subsidiaries, finance and accounts plays an important role.

CHAPTER 4 Import and Export obligation of SAIL The Indian steel industry have entered into a new development stage from 2005-06, riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand for steel. Rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the 7th largest producer of steel. Indias steel consumption will continue to grow at nearly 16% rate annually, till 2012, fuelled by demand for construction projects worth US$ 1 trillion. The National Steel Policy has envisaged steel production to reach 110 million tones by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current ongoing projects, both in Greenfield and Brownfield, Ministry of Steel has projected that the steel capacity in the county is likely to be 124.06 million tones by 2011-12. Production

Steel industry was relicensed and decontrolled in 1991 & 1992 respectively. Today, India is the 7th largest crude steel producer of steel in the world. In 2008-09, production of Finished (Carbon) Steel was 59.02 million tones. Production of Pig Iron in 2008-09 was 5.299 Million Tons.

The project will be set up at a capital cost of approximately US$ 509.08 million and is expected to come on stream in 2013. IMPORT Importing of goods was for a long period of time. As the goods which were unavailable in one country was too imported from the other sourced country. Before it was similar to the barter system but as the year passes as the world changes to a growth stage, these importing of goods becomes a business and of course of a more profitable one. Now many big organizations do importing of goods and raw materials which enhanced their production to a high margin. Sail basically imports. There are a number of benefits to be gained by opting for an overseas supplier. o Lower priced goods: Lower labour costs or a different tax regime may mean one countrys prices for a particular product are significantly lower than those in the UK. o Higher-quality finished products: Every country has its specialties and strengths. If you want the very best, it could be to your advantage to import from a particular country. o Traditional skills and raw materials: It makes sense to take advantage of traditional crafts and skills that have been carried on for generations in some cultures. o Original products: Originality and authenticity are important in some markets if you want to keep ahead of your competitors Since the payments are done by conversion from currency to the another. There may be some type of risk as fluctuating exchange rates can affect the price of the product and your profitability. A forward exchange contract is one way to protect you. This is a binding obligation to buy or sell a certain amount of foreign currency at a pre-agreed rate of exchange, on or before a certain date. This enables you to budget at a guaranteed rate of exchange. Payment options How you choose to pay your supplier depends on a number of factors, not least the level of trust between the two.. Open Account-Orders placed with organizations may be dealt with on an open account basis. The supplier trusts your ability to pay them against their invoice within, say, 30 days. Clearing banks offer fast money electronic transfer systems for such transactions. Or you could open a euro currency account allowing you to trade with countries in the Euro zone using just one account.

Letters of credit These offer both buyer and seller security and are honored through the banking system. The conditions are stated on the letter of credit, including the amount to be paid, a description of the goods and what documents the exporter must present to receive payment. The importers bank guarantees the exporter that payment will be made if those conditions are met. Documentary collections Documents relating to the goods imported are sent by the supplier via their own bank to your bank. Your bank receives all the shipping documents and the invoices, which state the methods of payment. The bank will notify you when it has all the documents. The advantage of this system is that you, as the importer, dont have to make payment for your goods until you have accepted the documents relating to them from your bank. Terms of delivery and means of transport Although some suppliers may want to quote for their goods including the transport or freight charges, importer may take responsibility for goods early in the supply chain. This allows choosing the carrier, routing and point of entry into the imported country. Always inspect goods as soon as they are received.

LETTER OF CREDIT

A letter of credit makes a bank's promise to pay the exporter to that of the foreign buyer provided that the exporter has complied with all the terms and conditions of the letter of credit. The foreign buyer applies for issuance of a letter of credit from the buyer's bank to the exporter's bank and therefore is called the applicant; the exporter is called the beneficiary. Payment under a documentary letter of credit is based on documents, not on the terms of sale or the physical condition of the goods. The letter of credit specifies the documents that are required to be presented by the exporter, such as an ocean bill of lading (original and several copies), consular invoice, draft, and an insurance policy. The letter of credit also contains an expiration date. Before payment, the bank responsible for making payment, verifies that all document conform to the letter of credit requirements. If not, the discrepancy must be resolved before payment can be made and before the expiration date. A letter of credit may either be irrevocable and thus, unable to be changed unless both parties agree; or revocable where either party may unilaterally make changes. A revocable letter of credit is inadvisable as it carries many risks for the exporter. A change made to a letter of credit after it has been issued is called an amendment. Banks also charge fees for this service. It should be specified in the amendment if the exporter or the buyer will pay these charges. Every effort should be made to get the letter of credit right the first time since these changes can be time-consuming and expensive. To expedite the receipt of funds, wire transfers may be used. Exporters should consult with their international bankers about bank charges for such services.

CASH AGAINST DOCUMENT CAD (CASH AGAINST DOCUMENTS) Cash against documents is a type of transaction in which the title for purchased goods is released to the buyer after the total sale price is paid using cash. Often, a commission house or a similar financial institution upon verification of the cash payment handles the actual transfer of title. Usage of the cash against document method is commonly employed with transactions that involve the purchase of exports. The process for CAD, or cash against documents, in an export environment is fairly straightforward. After accepting an order from an international customer, the exporter prepares the export documents required by both the country of origin and the destination. Among the documents is a form that is normally referred to as an Export Collection Form. This form, along with other manifests and copies of shipping documents, is forwarded to the bank used by the exporter. While it is not always necessary, many exporters choose to prepare a bill of exchange, and include that document with the other forms.

As the next step in a purchasing using the cash against documents method, the exporters bank forwards the necessary documents to the bank designated by the purchaser or importer. The documents are provided with a proviso that they are not to be released to the importer until payment for the shipment is made in full. Until the payment is received by the exporters bank, the transaction is not considered complete. Once the importers bank receives authorization to honor the exporters invoice, cash payment is electronically transferred to the exporters financial institution. After receiving confirmation that the payment was executed and posted properly, the importers bank releases all documents pertaining to the transaction to the buyer. Many banks charge fees for executing cash against documents transaction. In some instances, the seller covers all bank charges. However, it is more common for buyers to cover any charges issued by the banks at each end of the transaction. Typically, the seller adds the bank charges from the point of origin onto the invoice, while the importers bank normally debits the account used to issue the cash against documents payment.

CHAPTER 5 Foreign Exchange Mgt. and Documentation in SAIL

FOREIGN EXCHANGE MGT. -OVERVIEW In todays world no economy is self sufficient, so there is need for exchange of goods and services amongst the different countries. So in this global village, unlike in the primitive age the exchange of goods and services is no longer carried out on barter basis. Every sovereign country in the world has a currency that is legal tender in its territory and this currency does not act as money outside its boundaries. So whenever a country buys or sells goods and services from or to another country, the residents of two countries have to exchange currencies. So we can imagine that if all countries have the same currency then there is no need for foreign exchange.

NEED FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE Let us consider a case where Indian company exports HR COILS to USA and invoices the goods in US dollar. The American importer will pay the amount in US dollar, as the same is his home currency. However the Indian exporter requires rupees means his home currency for procuring raw materials and for payment to the labor charges etc. Thus he would need exchanging US dollar for rupee. If the Indian exporters invoice their goods in rupees, then importer in USA will get his dollar converted in rupee and pay the exporter. From the above example we can infer that in case goods are bought or sold outside the country, exchange of currency is necessary. Sometimes it also happens that the transactions between two countries will be settled in the currency of third country. In that case both the countries that are transacting will require converting their respective currencies in the currency of third country. For that also the foreign exchange is required.

About foreign exchange market. Particularly for foreign exchange market there is no market place called the foreign exchange market. It is mechanism through which one countrys currency can be exchange i.e. bought or sold for the currency of another country. The foreign exchange market does not have any geographic location. Foreign exchange market is describe as an OTC (over the counter) market as there is no physical place where the participant meet to execute the deals, as we see in the case of stock exchange. The largest foreign exchange market is in London, followed by the new york, Tokyo, Zurich and Frankfurt. The market are situated throughout the different time zone of the globe in such a way that one market is closing the other is beginning its operation. Therefore it is stated that foreign exchange market is functioning throughout 24 hours a day. In most market US dollar is the vehicle currency, viz., the currency sued to dominate international transaction. In India, foreign exchange has been given a statutory definition. Section 2 (b) of foreign exchange regulation ACT,1973 states: Foreign exchange means foreign currency and includes All deposits, credits and balance payable in any foreign currency and any draft, travelers cheques, letter of credit and bills of exchange expressed or drawn in India currency but payable in any foreign currency.

Any instrument payable, at the option of drawer or holder thereof or any other party thereto, either in Indian currency or in foreign currency or partly in one and partly in the other. In order to provide facilities to members of the public and foreigners visiting India, for exchange of foreign currency into Indian currency and vice-versa. RBI has granted to various firms and individuals, license to undertake money-changing business at seas/airport and

tourism place of tourist interest in India. Besides certain authorized dealers in foreign exchange (banks) have also been permitted to open exchange bureaus. Following are the major bifurcations Full fledge moneychangers they are the firms and individuals who have been authorized to take both, purchase and sale transaction with the public. Restricted moneychanger they are shops, emporia and hotels etc. that have been authorized only to purchase foreign currency towards cost of goods supplied or services rendered by them or for conversion into rupees. Authorized dealers they are one who can undertake all types of foreign exchange transaction. Bank is only the authorized dealers. The only exceptions are Thomas cook, western union, UAE exchange which though, and not a bank is an AD.

Even among the banks RBI has categorized them as followes: Branch A They are the branches that have nostro and vostro account. Branch B The branch that can deal in all other transaction but do not maintain nostro and vostro a/cs fall under this category. For Indian we can conclude that foreign exchange refers to foreign money, which includes notes, cheques, bills of exchange, bank balance and deposits in foreign currencies.

PARTICIPANTS IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET The main players in foreign exchange market are as follows: 1. CUSTOMERS The customers who are engaged in foreign trade participate in foreign exchange market by availing of the services of banks. Exporters require converting the dollars in to rupee and importers require converting rupee in to the dollars, as they have to pay in dollars for the goods/services they have imported. 2.COMMERCIAL BANK

VIDHI ( IPER PGDM )

Page 61

FOREX MANAGEMENT- IMPORT AND EXPORT IN BSL,SAIL


They are most active players in the forex market. Commercial bank dealing with international transaction offer services for conversion of one currency in to another. They have wide network of branches. Typically banks buy foreign exchange from exporters and sells foreign exchange to the importers of goods. As every time the foreign exchange bought or oversold position. The balance amount is sold or bought from the market. 3. CENTRAL BANK In all countries Central bank have been charged with the responsibility of maintaining the external value of the domestic currency. Generally this is achieved by the intervention of the bank. 4. EXCHANGE BROKERS Forex brokers play very important role in the foreign exchange market. However the extent to which services of foreign brokers are utilized depends on the tradition and practice prevailing at a particular forex market center. In India as per FEDAI guideline the Ads are free to deal directly among themselves without going through brokers. The brokers are not among to allowed to deal in their own account all over the world and also in India. 5. OVERSEAS FOREX MARKET Today the daily global turnover is estimated to be more than US $ 1.5 trillion a day. The international trade however constitutes hardly 5 to 7 % of this total turnover. The rest of trading in world forex market is constituted of financial transaction and speculation. As we know that the forex market is 24-hour market, the day begins with Tokyo and thereafter Singapore opens, thereafter India, followed by Bahrain, Frankfurt, paris, London, new york, Sydney, and back to Tokyo.

6. SPECULATORS The speculators are the major players in the forex market.
VIDHI ( IPER PGDM ) Page 62

FOREX MANAGEMENT- IMPORT AND EXPORT IN BSL,SAIL


Bank dealing are the major speculators in the forex market with a view to make profit on account of favorable movement in exchange rate, take position i.e. if they feel that rate of particular currency is likely to go up in short term. They buy that currency and sell it as soon as they are able to make quick profit. Corporations particularly multinational corporation and transnational corporation having business operation beyond their national frontiers and on account of their cash flows being large and in multi currencies get in to foreign exchange exposures. With a view to make advantage of exchange rate movement in their favor they either delay covering exposures or do not cover until cash flow materialize.

Individual like share dealing also undertake the activity of buying and selling of foreign exchange for booking short term profits. They also buy foreign currency stocks, bonds and other assets without covering the foreign exchange exposure risk. This also results in speculations.

Exchange Rate System

Countries of the world have been exchanging goods and services amongst themselves. This has been going on from time immemorial. The world has come a long way from the days of barter trade. With the invention of money the figures and problems of barter trade have disappeared. The barter trade has given way ton exchanged of goods and services for currencies instead of goods and services. The rupee was historically linked with pound sterling. India was a founder member of the IMF. During the existence of the fixed exchange rate system, the intervention currency of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was the British pound, the RBI ensured maintenance of the exchange rate by selling and buying pound against rupees at fixed rates. The inter bank rate therefore ruled the RBI band. During the fixed exchange rate era, there was only one major change in the parity of the rupee- devaluation in June 1966.
VIDHI ( IPER PGDM ) Page 63

FOREX MANAGEMENT- IMPORT AND EXPORT IN BSL,SAIL


Exchange rate is a rate at which one currency can be exchange in to another currency, say USD = Rs.44.75. This rate is the rate of conversion of US dollar in to Indian rupee and vice versa.

METHODS FOR QOUTING EXCHANGE RATES EXCHANGE QUOTATION There are two methods of quoting exchange rates. 1) Direct methods Foreign currency is kept constant and home currency is kept variable. In direct quotation, the principle adopted by bank is to buy at a lower price and sell at higher price.

2) Indirect method: Home currency is kept constant and foreign currency is kept variable. Here the strategy used by bank is to buy high and sell low. In India with effect from august 2, 1993,all the exchange rates are quoted in direct method. It is customary in foreign exchange market to always quote two rates means one for buying and another rate for selling. This helps in eliminating the risk of being given bad rates i.e. if a party comes to know what the other party intends to do i.e. buy or sell, the former can take the letter for a ride. There are two parties in an exchange deal of currencies. To initiate the deal one party asks for quote from another party and other party quotes a rate. The party asking for a quote is known as asking party and the party giving a quotes is known as quoting party.

VIDHI ( IPER PGDM )

Page 64

FOREX MANAGEMENT- IMPORT AND EXPORT IN BSL,SAIL


The advantage of twoway quote is as under i. The market continuously makes available price for buyers or sellers ii. Two way price limits the profit margin of the quoting bank and comparison of one quote with another quote can be done instantaneously. iii. As it is not necessary any player in the market to indicate whether he intends to buy or sale foreign currency, this ensures that the quoting bank cannot take advantage by manipulating the prices.

iv. It automatically insures that alignment of rates with market rates.

v. Two way quotes lend depth and liquidity to the market, which is so very essential for efficient market. In two way quotes the first rate is the rate for buying and another for selling. We should understand here that, in India the banks, which are authorized dealer, always quote rates. So the rates quoted- buying and selling is for banks point of view only. It means that if exporters want to sell the dollars then the bank will buy the dollars from him so while calculation the first rate will be used which is buying rate, as the bank is buying the dollars from exporter. The same case will happen inversely with importer as he will buy dollars from the bank and bank will sell dollars to importer.

DOCUMENTATION IMPORT Importing of goods was for a long period of time. As the goods which were unavailable in one country was too imported from the other sourced country. Before it was similar to the barter system but as the year passes as the world changes to a growth stage, these importing of goods becomes a business and of course of a more profitable one. Now many big organizations do importing of goods and raw materials which enhanced their production to a high margin. Sail basically imports.
VIDHI ( IPER PGDM ) Page 65

There are a number of benefits to be gained by opting for an overseas supplier. o Lower priced goods: Lower labour costs or a different tax regime may mean one countrys prices for a particular product are significantly lower than those in the UK. o Higher-quality finished products: Every country has its specialities and strengths. If you want the very best, it could be to your advantage to import from a particular country. o Traditional skills and raw materials: It makes sense to take advantage of traditional crafts and skills that have been carried on for generations in some cultures. o Original products: Originality and authenticity are important in some markets if you want to keep ahead of your competitors Since the payments are done by conversion from currency to the another. There may be some type of risk as fluctuating exchange rates can affect the price of the product and your profitability. A forward exchange contract is one way to protect you. This is a binding obligation to buy or sell a certain amount of foreign currency at a pre-agreed rate of exchange, on or before a certain date. This enables you to budget at a guaranteed rate of exchange. Payment options How you choose to pay your supplier depends on a number of factors, not least the level of trust between the two.. Open Account-Orders placed with organisations may be dealt with on an open account basis. The supplier trusts your ability to pay them against their invoice within, say, 30 days. Clearing banks offer fast money electronic transfer systems for such transactions. Or you could open a euro currency account allowing you to trade with countries in the Eurozone using just one account. Letters of credit These offer both buyer and seller security and are honoured through the banking system. The conditions are stated on the letter of credit, including the amount to be paid, a description of the goods and what documents the exporter must present to receive payment. The importers bank guarantees the exporter that payment will be made if those conditions are met. Documentary collections Documents relating to the goods imported are sent by the supplier via their own bank to your bank. Your bank receives all the shipping documents and the invoices, which state the methods of payment. The bank will notify you when it has all the documents. The advantage
VIDHI ( IPER PGDM ) Page 66

FOREX MANAGEMENT- IMPORT AND EXPORT IN BSL,SAIL


of this system is that you, as the importer, dont have to make payment for your goods until you have accepted the documents relating to them from your bank. Terms of delivery and means of transport Although some suppliers may want to quote for their goods including the transport or freight charges, importer may take responsibility for goods early in the supply chain. This allows choosing the carrier, routing and point of entry into the imported country. Always inspect goods as soon as they are received. FOB Free on board Named port of shipment Maritime and inland waterway transport only The seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, when they pass the ships rail at the named port of shipment. CFR Cost and freight Named port of destination Maritime and inland waterway transport only The seller delivers the goods when they pass the ships rail in the port of shipment and must pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination. CIF Cost insurance and freight Named port of destination Maritime and inland waterway transport only The same as CFR except the seller must also procure insurance against the buyers risk of loss or damage during carriage. CPT Carriage paid to Named place of destination Any mode of transport The seller delivers the goods to the nominated carrier and must also pay the cost of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named destination.

CHAPTER 6 Problem in Foreign Exchange Mgt.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM In the world of globalization and international business, where a company would be performing one or the other kind of activity like selling its products, sourcing its raw materials, raising funds abroad, investing in the international markets it has to deal with many currencies for making payments or receiving its receipts. So the firms would be facing the currency risk where an appreciation or depreciation of the currency it is dealing with may eat away its profits, so there arises the opportunity of managing the currency risk. This project thus deals with the various strategies by which those risk could be managed. NATURE OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK Foreign Exchange dealing is a business that one get involved in, primarily to obtain protection against adverse rate movements on their core international business. Foreign Exchange dealing is essentially a risk-reward business where profit potential is substantial but it is extremely risky too. Foreign exchange business has the certain peculiarities that make it a very risky business. These would include: Forex deals are across country borders and therefore, often foreign currency prices are subject to controls and restrictions imposed by foreign authorities. Needless to say, these controls and restrictions are invariably dictated by their own domestic factors and economy. Forex deals involve two currencies and therefore, rates are influenced by domestic as well as international factors. The Forex market is a 24-hour global market and overseas developments can affect rates significantly.

The Forex market has great depth and numerous players shifting vast sums of money. Forex rates therefore, can move considerably, especially when speculation against a currency rises. Forex markets are characterized by advanced technology, communications and speed. Decision-making has to be instantaneous. Description of Foreign Exchange Risk In simple word FOREX risk is the variability in the profit due to change in foreign exchange rate. Suppose the company is exporting goods to foreign company then it gets the payment after month or so then change in exchange rate may effect in the inflows of the fund. If rupee value depreciated he may loose some money. Similarly if rupees value appreciated against foreign currency then it may gain more rupees. Hence there is risk involved in it. Classification of Foreign Exchange Risk

Position Risk Gap or Maturity or Mismatch Risk Translation Risk Operational Risk Credit Risk

1. Position Risk The exchange risk on the net open Forex position is called the position risk. The position can be a long/overbought position or it could be a short/oversold position. The excess of foreign currency assets over liabilities is called a net long position whereas the excess of foreign currency liabilities over assets is called a net short position. Since all purchases and sales are at a rate, the net position too is at a net/average rate. Any adverse movement in market rates would result in a loss on the net currency position. For example, where a net long position is in a currency whose value is depreciating, the conversion of the currency will result in a lower amount of the corresponding currency

resulting in a loss, whereas a net long position in an appreciating currency would result in a profit. Given the volatility in Forex markets and external factors that affect FX rates, it is prudent to have controls and limits that can minimize losses and ensure a reasonable profit. The most popular controls/limits on open position risks are:

Daylight Limit : Refers to the maximum net open position that can be built up atrader during the course of the working day. This limit is set currency-wise and the overall position of all currencies as well.

Overnight Limit : Refers to the net open position that a trader can leave overnight to be carried forward for the next working day. This limit too is set currency-wise and the overall overnight limit for all currencies. Generally, overnight limits are about 15% of the daylight limits.

2. Mismatch Risk/Gap Risk Where a foreign currency is bought and sold for different value dates, it creates no net position i.e. there is no FX risk. But due to the different value dates involved there is a mismatch i.e. the purchase/sale dates do not match. These mismatches, or gaps as they are often called, result in an uneven cash flow. If the forward rates move adversely, such mismatches would result in losses. Mismatches expose one to risks of exchange losses that arise out of adverse movement in the forward points and therefore, controls need to be initiated. The limits on Gap risks are:

Individual Gap Limit : This determines the maximum mismatch for any calendar month; currency-wise.

Aggregate Gap Limit : Is the limit fixed for all gaps, for a currency, irrespective of their being long or short. This is worked out by adding the absolute values of all overbought and all oversold positions for the various months, i.e. the total of the individual gaps, ignoring the signs. This limit, too, is fixed currency-wise.

VIDHI ( IPER PGDM )

Page 107

Total Aggregate Gap Limit : Is the limit fixed for all aggregate gap limits in all currencies.

3. Translation Risk Translation risk refers to the risk of adverse rate movement on foreign currency assets and liabilities funded out of domestic currency. There cannot be a limit on translation risk but it can be managed by: 1. Funding of Foreign Currency Assets/Liabilities through money markets i.e. borrowing or lending of foreign currencies 2. Funding through FX swaps 3. Hedging the risk by means of Currency Options 4. Funding through Multi Currency Interest Rate Swaps. 4. Operational Risk The operational risks refer to risks associated with systems, procedures, frauds and human errors. It is necessary to recognize these risks and put adequate controls in place, in advance. It is important to remember that in most of these cases corrective action needs to be taken post-event too. The following areas need to be addressed and controls need to be initiated.

Segregation of trading and accounting functions : The execution of deals is a function quite distinct from the dealing function. The two have to be kept separate to ensure a proper check on trading activities, to ensure all deals are accounted for, that no positions are hidden and no delay occurs.

Follow-up and Confirmation: Quite often deals are transacted over the phone directly or through brokers. Every oral deal has to be followed up immediately by written confirmations; both by the dealing departments and by back-office or support staff. This would ensure that errors are detected and rectified immediately.

Settlement of funds: Timely settlement of funds is necessary not only to avoid delayed payment interest penalty but also to avoid embarrassment and loss of credibility.

Overdue contracts: Care should be taken to monitor outstanding contracts and to ensure proper settlements. This will avoid unnecessary swap costs, excessive credit balances and overdrawn Nostro accounts.

Float transactions: Often retail departments and other areas are authorised to create exposures. Proper measures should be taken to make sure that such departments and areas inform the authorised persons/departments of these exposures, in time. A proper system of maximum amount trading authorities should be installed. Any amount in excess of such maximum should be transacted only after proper approvals and rate.

5. Credit Risk Credit risk refers to risks dealing with counter parties. The credit is contingent upon the performance of its part of the contract by the counter party. The risk is not only due to non performance but also at times, the inability to perform by the counter party. The credit risk can be

Contract risk: Where the counter party fails prior to the value date. In such a case, the Forex deal would have to be replaced in the market, to liquidate the Forex exposure. If there has been an adverse rate movement, this would result in an exchange loss. A contract limit is set counter party-wise to manage this risk.

Clean risk: Where the counter party fails on the value date i.e. it fails to deliver the currency, while you have already paid up. Here the risk is of the capital amount and the loss can be substantial. Fixing a daily settlement limit as well as a total outstanding limit, counter party-wise, can control such a risk.

Sovereign Risk: Refers to risks associated with dealing into another country. These risks would be an account of exchange control regulations, political instability etc. Country limits are set to counter this risk.

CHAPTER 7 Suggestions In the view of the analysis and with the changes in the industry scenario it is felt that the company is moving at a pace. It keeps on reconstructing its policies for the betterment. The foreign exchange management of such a large scale industry is tedious to explain. The procedure moves from such a hierarchical level and involves a lot of interaction that it looks as it is concerning a gang of persons. A bunch of ideas and a series of knowledge is revolving me, that what I spent my invaluable time which will help me forever. Not only for the educational purpose but a practical sense of meeting different type of personnels and grasping their work knowledge. Interactions, discussions, negotiations each one it is a part of work life and such cannot be segregated. Time management is at the top along with a plan for next days work I learnt in these six weeks. A new field of knowledge and the methodology of how to interact with it were a bit amazing for me. Relating to my area of interest FOREX MANAGEMENT gave me new thoughts relating to the incoming and outgoing of materials. How to deal with it, what are the major players involving in the whole process along with it their roles. Now in the mode of payment the use of the letters of credit is a good tool for reducing risk as in case of other modes bank just ask for payment and if the importer set-aside then the exporter has to suffer a huge loss so LC has grown substantially over the past decade. Letters of credit accomplish their purpose by substituting the credit of the bank for that of the customer, for the purpose of facilitating trade. The exports is an obligation by the central government and BSL has also moved accordingly to the latest scenario i.e. but if look in the previous year Rs214 Cr approx exports has been done and around Rs160087 Cr sales is in domestic sector which clearly speaks that the domestic market of BSL is at a strong base that lying on the exports. The imports is been done for new technology better raw material of the plant, equipments and heavy machinery which is long lasting. Here importing is done with the banking norms and major portion what F&A is looking behind the Payment side, BSL mainly uses LC for the payment to the party, CAD and TT is being used substantially. If looking to the last six months of the previous year major imports has been done in December Rs 25,11,28,750 and comparing to it least one was in October Rs 6,25,15,748. In comparison among LC and CAD , payment through LC is over all quite same as well as huge amount dealings has been done in all the last six months leaving Mar11 to one side. But in case of CAD the major payments has been done in Nov10 and Feb11 but overall payments is large in case of CAD. The reason might be the exporters choice of payment or ease in process of payment. BSL is been looking ahead for increasing its production so for this it in been importing more than exporting. The target for FY 11-12 has been set to as to produceHot
