A Study On Financial Analysis of BSNL
1. Financial statements
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
statement is not an end in itself as no managerial can be drawn from these statement alone.
However, the information provided in the financial statement is of immense use in making
decision through analysis and interpretation of financial statements. Financial analysis is „the
process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by properly establishing
relationship between the item of the balance sheet and the profit and loss account‟. There are
various methods used in analyzing financial statements, such as comparative statements, trend
analysis, common-size statement, schedule of change in working capital, funds flow and cash
flow analysis, cost-volume-profit analysis and ratio analysis.
The term financial analysis‟, also known as analysis and interpretation of financial statement,
refers to the process of determining financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm of the firm by
establishing strategic relationship between the item the balance sheet, profit and loss account and
other operative data[1-4].
“Financial analysis is a process of evaluating the relationship between component parts of a
financial statement to obtain a better understanding of a firm‟s position and performances”
According to Matclf and Titard
“Financial statement analysis is largely a study of relationship among the various financial
factors in a business as disclosed by single set-of statements and a study of the trend of these
factors as shown in a series of statement”.
According to Myers
The term „financial statement analysis‟ include both „analysis‟ and „interpretation‟. The analysis
and interpretation of financial analysis statements is essential to bring out the mystery behind the
figure in financial statements. Financial statement is an attempt to determine the significance and
1471
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
meaning of the financial statement data so the forecast may be made of the future earning, ability
to pay interest and maturities and profitability of a sound dividend policy.
1472
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
The purpose of financial statements analysis is to help the management to make a comparative
study of the profitability of various firms engaged in similar businesses. Such comparison also
helps the management to study the position of their firm in respect of sales, expenses,
profitability and utilizing capital, etc.
1473
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
The suppliers and other creditors are interested to know about the solvency of the business i.e.
the ability of the company to meet the debts as and when they fall due.
Tax authorities
Tax authorities are interested in financial statements for determining the tax liability.
Researchers
They are interested in financial statements in undertaking research work in business affairs and
practices.
Employees
They are interested to know the growth of profit. As a result of which they can demand better
remuneration and congenial working environment.
Government and their agencies
Government and their agencies need financial information to regulate the activities of the
enterprises/ industries and determine taxation policy. They suggest measures to formulate
policies and regulations.
Stock exchange
The stock exchange members take interest in financial statements for the purpose of analysis
because they provide useful financial information about companies.
Thus, we find that different parties have interest in financial statements for different reasons.
1.2. Statement of the Problem
The study intends to provide a financial analysis of BSNL based on the company‟s published
balance sheets and annual reports. Specifically the study will address
1. Comparative analysis of the balance sheets of 2009 and 2010
2. Comparative study of the usage statistics for some of the major BSNL products and
services
3. Ratio Analysis of the balance and PL sheets
4. Each department presences a section supervisor this SS will provide various data of
relative department and give opportunity to handling the working process and resolve our
doubts.
1.3. Objective of the Project
1474
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
The main objective of this study is to carry on brief study on “Comparative Analysis of the
balance sheet of BSNL[16-22]”
Other objectives of this project are as follows:
To identify the various assets of BSNL with respect to Annual Reports of the BSNL.
To study the functioning of the finance department
Comparative study of Two year Annual reports.
1.4. Scope of the project
The main scope of this project is
There are one circle office and one training center in the Trivandrum sector
The circle office is situated in P.M.G in Trivandrum
Training center is situated in kaimanam in Trivandrum H.Q
The accounts related matters are carry on in the circle office
The project duration is three months from January to march
1.5. Limitations of Study
Financial analysis is a powerful mechanism of determining financial strengths and weaknesses of
a firm but, the analysis is based on the information available in the financial statements. We has
also careful about the impact of price level chances, windows-dressing of financial statements,
changes in accounting policies of BSNL, accounting concepts and conventions, and personal
judgments etc[23-30].
Due to the following unavoidable and uncontrollable factors the factors, the result might not
be accurate. Some of the problems faced while conducting the survey are as follows:-
Time and cost constraints were also there.
Chances of some biasness could not be eliminated.
A majority of respondents show lack of cooperation and are biased towards their own
opinions.
Some of the important Limitations of financial analysis are however, summed up as below:
It is only a study of interim reports.
Financial analysis is based upon only monetary information and non-monetary factors are
ignored.
It does not consider changes in price level.
1475
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
As the financial statements are prepared on the basis of a going concern, it does not give
exact position. Thus accounting concepts and conventions cause a serious limitation to
financials analysis.
Changes in accounting procedure by a firm may often make financial analysis
misleading.
Analysis is only a means and not an end in itself. We has to make interpretation and
draw own conclusion.Different people may interpret the same analysis in different ways.
3.Research Methodology
3.1.Research Design:
The research design of this project is exploratory. Though each research study has its own
specific purpose but the research design of this project on BSNL is exploratory in nature as the
objective is the development of the hypothesis rather than their testing[31-34].
3.2. Methodology
Every project work is based on certain methodology, which is a way to systematically solve the
problem or attain its objectives. It is a very important guideline and lead to completion of any
project work through observation, data collection and data analysis.
System of broad principles or rules from which specific methods or procedures may be derived
to understand different situations (or solve different problems) within the scope of a particular
discipline. Unlike an algorithm, a methodology is not a formula but a set of practices.
3.3. According to Clifford Woody,
“Research Methodology comprises of defining & redefining problems, collecting,
organizing & evaluating data, making deductions & researching to conclusions.”
3.4Sources of Data Collection:
Research will be based on two sources:
1. Primary data
2. Secondary data
3.5 Primary Data:
Survey: Primary data was collected by departmental survey for BSNL.

Coordination‟s of departments are not satisfactory.
Qualification of employees is not match his posts.
Revenues policies of BSNL are not properly implied.
Departmental process so long.
Proper computerizing of department are not satisfactory.
Suggestion :
The study has provided with the useful data from the respondents. There has a lot to be
recommended[42-45]. Following are the recommendations:
There should be increase in investment of BSNL. So that could be earned more profit.
Because, if investment will be high than profit will be earned high.
There should be improved the working process of BSNL. Because working Process of
BSNL is take more time.
Departments of BSNL do not have good coordination. So there should be Good
coordination in departments of BSNL. If coordination will have good in Departments,
than there will not has to face any problem in proper work.
Time to time, there should be provided training of employee. So that they could take
information about the new technology of them proper working Process.
There should be good communication between each departments of BSNL.
There should be computerized work in BSNL. But also at this time, paper Work are
continue to see in many department.
Use better & high tech methods of advertising, so that more & more subscriber attract
towards BSNL.
Should try to decrease expenditure especially in the employee‟s remuneration & benefit
area.
Should increase the service quality as well as better customer care service.
Should work towards 3 G phones, means high speed streaming video, gaming, video
messaging, and even mobile TV.

CONCLUSION
From 1986 of its establishment to 2010, in these 24 years the company has shown many faces,
throughout its journey. At one time BSNL had a monopoly in the market. But now the company
is facing a very tough competition from the giants like Bharti-Airtel, Reliance Idea, Vodafone,
Tata etc.
Here are the conclusions which I derived after analyzing the financial statements of BSNL:-
Out the past four years, in 3 years BSNL recorded a decrease in profit and in 2 years a
decrease in income, but the expenditure has continuously increased.
1484
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
These are the years where telecom sector emerge as a fastest growing sector of economy.
And in the same years BSNL fail to gain more income.
Although the income figure is continuously falling but there is no impact shown on
expenditure side, it is continuously increasing over the years. This is the main cause of
reduction in profits.
In the year 2009-10 BSNL current assets fell with a huge margin due to this year poor
performance. After this year company has shown a growth in current assets but not
sufficient to fulfill the short-term requirements.
In the year 2009-10 fixed assets found significant growth with 12.56% which is a good
sign for long term prospect. But increase in fixed assets during last two years is not
sufficient. I would like to provide the following suggestions for improving the services
and thereby revenue of BSNL:
