INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY ITC was incorporated on August 24, 1910 under the name Imperial Tobacco

Company of India Limited. As the Company's ownership progressively Indianised, the name of the Company was changed from Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited to India Tobacco Company Limited in 1970 and then to I.T.C. Limited in 1974. In recognition of the Company's multi-business portfolio encompassing a wide range of businesses –

Cigarettes & Tobacco, Hotels, Information Technology, Packaging, Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Agri-business, Foods, Lifestyle Retailing, Education & Stationery and Personal Care - the full stops in the Company's name were removed effective September 18, 2001. The Company now stands rechristened 'ITC Limited.

ITC has a diversified presence in Cigarettes, Hotels, Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Packaging, Agri-Business, Packaged Foods & Confectionery, Information Technology, Branded Apparel, Personal Care, Stationery, Safety Matches and other FMCG products. While ITC is an outstanding market leader in its traditional businesses of Cigarettes, Hotels, Paperboards, Packaging and Agri-Exports, it is rapidly gaining market share even in its nascent businesses of Packaged Foods & Confectionery, Branded Apparel, Personal Care and Stationery.

SUGGESTIONS GIVEN BY VENDORS FOR IMPROVING OF PAYMENT EFFICIENCY

It will be more helpful if ITC attach the deduction or short payment details with cheque , if any.

Some of the vendors are asking for e-payment in place of payment through cheque.

Make an acknowledgement of bill & generate a unique no. regarding bill so that a vendor can easily get queries related to its bill.

If there is any problem regarding bill or good’s then immediately inform it to vendors so that vendors can quickly correct its mistake & no delay is made in his payment.

Can try RTGS (Real time gross settlement) facility of banks for making payment fast.

CONCLUSION Almost all vendors want long term relationship with ITC,

MUNGER. All the vendors are aware of ITC vendors term & policies . Some vendors think that relationship can get better with

more business & some vendors that its fulfilling relationship.

Almost all the vendors are satisfied with payment methodology adopted by ITC, MUNGER.

Vendors want their payment in 15 to 45 days period. None of the vendors think that ITC, MUNGER have ever

made any wrong deduction from their bill amount. Most of vendors gave very good grade to ITC & some

vendors thinks good about the overall performance of ITC, MUNGER regarding payment efficiency.

RECOMMENDATIONS During my observation I found that in some cases bill is sent by

the vendors on time but engineering department doesn’t submit it to commercial dept. on time that’s why delay is made so it have to be sorted out.

Develop better interface between other functions to reduce delays.

Make an acknowledgement of the bill to the vendors when it is received.

A bill tracking register is to be made to know about the current status of the bill.

Monthly reconciliation of document so that outstanding bills can easily identify.

Make a separate column in score card system for those bills which is early made on request of vendors to find out exact score.
