SCENARIO OF POWER IN INDIA
Power development is the key to economic development. The power sector has
been receiving adequate priority ever since the process of planned development
began in 1950. Hydro-power and coal based thermal power have been the main
sources of generating electricity. Nuclear power development is at slower pace,
which was introduced, in late sixties. The concept of operating power systems on
a regional basis crossing the place, the power supply industry has been under
constant pressure to bridge the gap between supply and demand.
State of the Industry:Demand is expected to grow 6-7% over the medium term.Capacity additions of around 50 GW are expected in the 11th Plan (60% of
government targets)
Addressable of key issues such as fuel supply, land availability, environmental
clearances and equipment supply are key to success.
.
Budget Impact:There were no major announcements impacting the sector. The
basic customs duty on project imports has been reduced from 7.5 to 5%.
However, the exemption on additional duty of 4% has been withdrawn for non mega
power projects. Thus, the overall impact of duty changes on power sector
project imports is neutral. The budgetary allocation for Accelerated Power
Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP) has been maintained at Rs 800
crore in FY 08 - 09
The government has proposed to set up a National Transmission and Distribution
Fund to address higher losses at the transmission and distribution level and for
the sectors development as well. The overall impact on the sector is neutral .

Power Department
Government of India, Ministry of Power has passed a resolution. After passing the same
by the cabinet for breaking the Electricity Board s functioning in the country into three parts
namely Power generation, Power Distribution and Power transmission headed by different CMDs
for its smooth functioning and better management and consumer services. The total control over
the electricity department has been vested to the Electricity Regulatory authority and authorized
and advised to State Government to take action for dividing the electricity departments. In this
direction, Govt. of India, Ministry of energy has created a regulatory commission to monitor the
situation within the country. Accordingly, the state Government has divided the power
department in to three separate corporations. Three separate Chairman and Managing directors
head the individual corporations. The details are as under: -
1. Chairman & Managing Director, Power Corporation is responsible for power distribution
and revenue collection against the energy sold and maintaining the monthly accounts as
received from the generation wing.
2. Chairman & managing Director, UJVNL is responsible for generation of electricity from
different hydro-generation power stations and M.D, Power Transmission Corporation of
Uttaranchal, is responsible for transmitting the power network to Distribution wing. The
energy so received by the distribution organization is being distributed to various
categories of consumers through Transmission & Distribution network.
The Distribution wing is responsible for billing and realization of revenue against the
energy they received from the Generation/Transmission network.

BUDGETING:-
Budgeting is a process of preparing budgets and further control aspects are involve in its
procedure.
Budgeting is a kind of future tense accounting in which the problems of future are met on paper
before the transactions actually occurs.
Budgeting is the preparation of comprehensive operating and financial plans for specific
intervals of time.
BUDGETARY CONTROL:-
The term Budgetary Control is applied to a system of management accounting control by which
all operations and output are forecast ahead as far as possible and the actual results, when
known, are compared with the budget estimates.
Budgetary Control is a system which uses budgets as a means of planning and controlling all
aspects of producing and selling commodities or services.
The essential features of Budgetary Control are as follows:-
Establish a budget or target of performance for each department or function of the
organization.
Compare actual performance with the budget.
Ascertain the reasons for the difference between actual and budgeted performance.
-

To fix the responsibility of executives for not achieving budgeted figures.
Take suitable remedial action so that budgeted performance may be achieved.
Revise budgets if necessary.
OBJECTIVES OF BUDGETARY CONTROL:-
The main objectives of budgetary control may be summarized as follows:
To provide an organized procedure for planning. It provides a detailed plan of action for a
business over a definite period of time.
To coordinate all the activities of various departments of a business firm in such a manner
that the maximum profit will be achieved for the minimum use of resources.
To provide a means of determining the responsibility for all deviations from the plan
(budget), and to supply information on the basis of which necessary corrective action may
be taken.

ADVANTAGES OF BUDGETING OR BUDGETARY CONTROL
It has following advantages:
It guides the management in planning and formulation of policies and enables them to
think ahead.
Budgeting coordinates the activities of various departments and functions of the
business.
It defines the objectives and policies of the undertakings as a whole.
It increases production efficiency, eliminates waste and controls the costs.
It aims at the maximization of profits through effective cost control, and the proper
utilization of the resources and existing facilities of the business.
It sets out plan of action and targets to be achieved by departments as well as by
individuals. So, everyone knows for what he is responsible and how should he do it.
This develops team spirit.
Budgets act as a measure of efficiency of departments and persons working in the
organization because budgets provide a yardstick against which actual performance of
departments and employees can be compared.
A budget motivates executives to attain the given goals.
It provides basis for introducing incentive remuneration plans based on performance.
Functions of planning, coordination and control can be better performed with the
help of the budgetary control.

LIMITATIONS OF BUDGETING OR BUDGETARY CONTROL
The main limitations are as follows:
The Budget plan is based on estimates: Budgets are based on estimates and estimates
are based mostly on available facts and best managerial judgment.
Danger of rigidity: Budget programme should be continuously revised to adjust to the
changes in business conditions and management policies. Budgets will lose much of their
usefulness if they acquire rigidity.
Budgeting is only a tool of management: Budgetary control implies the preparation of
budgets and their administration also. As such, a mere preparation of budgets does not
mean that their execution is automatic.
Expensive technique: Besides the above limitations, it is also necessary to consider the
cost associated with the introduction of a comprehensive budgetary control programme.

CLASSIFICATION OF BUDGETS
A. Classification according to time:-
Long term budgets:
o These budgets are related to planning the operations of an organization for a
period of 5 to 10 years. In fact, these budgets are concerned with planning of the
operations of a firm over a considerable long period of time.
Short term budgets:
o These budgets are designed for a period of 1or 2 years. These are usually prepared
in physical as well as in monetary units.
Current budgets:
o These budgets are designed for a very short period, say, a month or a quarter.
These are essentially short term budgets adjusted to current conditions or
prevailing situations.

-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
47/81
Production budget :
o After preparing the sales budget, the production budget is prepared. It specifies the
number of units of each product that must be produced to satisfy the sales
forecasts and to achieve the desired level of closing finished goods inventory.
Materials budget :
o It is concerned with material needed for budgeted output. Material budget are of two
types:-
a) Materials Requirement Budget: This budget helps in preparing purchase budget and in
planning purchases. It also enables fixation of stock levels of materials for inventory control.
b) Materials Purchase budget: Purchase budget is concerned with purchases for the budget
period, i.e., the purchase budget shows the purchase plan of an organization during the budget
period.
Direct Labour Budget :
o The direct labour budget will ensure that the plan will make the required number
of employees of relevant grades and suitable skills available at the right times.
Selling and Distribution Overhead Budget:
o This budget shows all the forecasted expenses to be incurred on selling and
distribution of finished goods during the budget period.
-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
48/81
Administration Overhead Budget:
o This budget represents the estimated expenditure of administration.
Administrative expenses in an organization will be incurred for the following
activities:
a) Formulation of policies
b) Directing the organization
c) Controlling the operations of an organization etc.
Factory Overhead Budget :
o Factory overhead or manufacturing overhead budget shows the estimated
manufacturing expenses to be incurred during the budget period. Factory
overhead, as we know, comprises indirect materials, indirect labour, and indirect
factory expenses. These items of overhead may be classified into fixed, variable
and semi variable category.
Research and Development Budget:
o Research has now become a continuous activity in many industries. The
preparation of research and developments budgets should be based on reasonably
accurate estimates and should be flexible.
Cash Budget :
-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
49/81
o The cash budget is developed only after all the others functional budgets are
prepared and, in fact, this is the most important of all the functional budgets. This
budget is also called the Financial Budget.
C. Classification according to flexibility :-
On the basis of flexibility, the budgets can be classified into:
Fixed budget:
o It is defined as one, which is designed to remain unchanged irrespective of the
level of activity attained. The basic assumption of this budget is that there will
not be any change in the budgeted level of activity i.e., this budget is prepared on
the assumption that output and sales can be estimated with a fair degree of
accuracy.
Flexible budget :
o It is defined as one, which is designed to change in relation to the level of activity
attained. Since for each level of activity there is a budget, flexible budgeting
involves the construction of a series of fixed budgets for different levels of
activity.

GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF BUDGETS
1. Preparation of Estimates: The estimates shall be prepared after considering the
following inputs :
a) Direct Materials: These are the materials which are directly consumed in the final
product and can be identified separately in the project. For example Transformers in case of
Substations, Conductors in case of Lines, Cement in case of Civil Works, etc. These are those
materials whose consumption directly varies with the projects.
b) Direct Labour: This includes the labour cost of the employees/contractual labourswho are
directly associated with the project. For example, the salaries of the JEs/AEs and other staff
who are directly and only looking after a particular project.
c) Direct Overheads: This includes the expenses which are directly incurred in the project.
These expenses though do not form a substantial part of project cost but they are incurred only
for the project under execution. For Example, vehicle rent and fuel etc. of the engineer who are
directly involved in the execution of the project.
d) Indirect Material: These are the materials which are though consumed in the project.
These materials includes consumables, lubricants etc.
e) Indirect Labour: This includes the labour costs of the employees who are indirectly
associated with the execution of the projects. For Example salaries of staff working in the office
of Executive Engineer/Dy. General Manager/General Manager/Corporate Office.
-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
55/81
f) Indirect Expenses: This includes the expenses which are indirect to the cost of the
project. It may include administrative expenses incurred on indirect employees. For Example,
Office rent of Corporate Office employees etc.
g) Interest during Construction (IDC): It is interest cost payable to the financial institutions
which is incurred from the date of the start of the project till its completion. From the date of
start, we mean the date of start of the first activity related to the project. The first activity may be
the date of route survey, date of estimation, date of approval of the estimates, sanction of loan
of the project, date of tender for procurement/contracts etc. In other words, we can say that, it is
the date from which the inflow of funds starts for the project. In fact, the interest is payable from
the date of drawl of funds from the financial institutions. IDC depends upon the time for the
completion of the project and the period of drawl of funds from financial institutions.
2. TREATMENT OF THE ABOVE ITEMS IN ESTIMATES:
a) Direct Materials: The direct materials shall be included in the estimate at their latest
rates. The basis of the rates shall be average of the last three tenders or the last tender whichever
is higher. If required, quotations, by way of enquiry may be taken in order to estimate the correct
rates. Necessary provisions shall also be made in the rates of materials to account for inflation
depending upon the earlier trends and present market values. The variation in rates due to time
difference between preparation of estimates and placing of purchase order and time differencebetween placing of order and completion of project shall also be accounted for depending upon
the past trends shall be accounted for on a justified basis. The concerned executive engineer and
the DGM (projects) shall ensure that the executed rates do not exceed more than 5% of the
estimated rates.
Similarly, the quantities shall also be frozen at the time of estimates. If necessary, pre
tender bids for survey, design may be awarded to finalize the final quantity for the preparation of
-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
56/81
estimates. The concerned Executive Engineer and the DGM (projects) shall ensure that the
executed quantity does not exceed more than 5% of the estimated quantity.
b) Direct Labour: The Direct Labour includes the value of erection cost awarded to the
contractor. The erection cost shall be estimated on the following basis:
1. The unit of erection to be decided in advance which shall form the basis of rates.
2. The cost per unit shall be determined after considering the labour rates and time
required to erect a particular unit. For example, if the unit rate is Cu.m, the rate per
Cu.m. shall be labour rate multiplied by time required to erect one unit. The unit rate
shall be supported by detailed calculations.
3. Necessary provisions shall also be made to account for inflation due to increase in
labour rates between the time of preparation of estimates and completion of the
project.
4. The quantities shall also be frozen at the time of estimates. If necessary, pre tender
bids for survey, design may be awarded to finalize the final quantity for the
preparation of estimates.
5. The concerned Executive Engineer and the DGM (projects) shall ensure that the
executed quantity and executed rates does not exceed more than 5% of the estimated
quantities and estimated rates.
The salaries of the departmental employees who are directly supervising the projects shall
be shown separately in the head Direct Labour in the estimates. If a particular employee is
looking after more than one project then his salary shall be divided in all the projects in the ratio
of the approved / estimated costs/ value of the projects. If the particular employee is also looking
-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
57/81
after O&M activities his salary shall be first divided between O&M and projects on the basis of
approved budgets for O&M and projects for the division and the amount of salary finally
segregated for projects shall be divided between all the projects on the basis of approved/
estimated costs/ value of the projects. Necessary provisions shall be made for increase in salaries
of the employees due to promotions / increments / increase in dearness allowance etc.
c) Direct Overheads: The direct overheads are the expenses which are incurred
specifically during the project. For example, survey costs, advertisement of tenders,
engaging a consultant, freight on materials if not included in the cost of materials, vehicle
expenses, telephone expenses, etc of the employees directly supervising the project. The direct
overheads shall be shown separately under the above head on nearest actual/ estimated basis. If
the expenses are incurred for more than one project, it shall be distributed on all the projects in
the ratio of approved / estimated costs/ value of the projects. Necessary provisions shall be made
for increase in expenses due to inflation, increase in quantity etc. The concerned Executive
Engineer and the DGM (projects) shall ensure that the executed expense does not exceed more
than 5% of the estimated expenses.
d) Indirect Material: The indirect materials shall be included in the estimates at their latest
rates. The basis of the rates shall be average of the last three tenders or the last tender whichever
is higher. Necessary provisions shall also be made in the rates of materials to account for
inflation depending upon the earlier trends and present market values. The variation in rates
due to time difference between preparation of estimates and placing of purchase order and
time difference between placing of order and completion of project shall also be accounted for
depending upon past trends on a justified basis. The concerned Executive Engineer and the DGM
(projects) shall ensure that the executed rates does not exceed more than 5% of the estimated
rates.
Similarly, the quantities shall also be frozen at the time of estimates. If necessary, pre
tender bids for survey, design may be awarded to finalise the final quantity for the preparation of
estimates. The concerned Executive Engineer and the DGM (projects) shall ensure that the
executed quantity does not exceed more than 5% of the estimated quantity.
-

58/81
e) Indirect Labour: The indirect labour includes the salaries of the employees not directly
associated with the project but a part of their time is involved in the execution of the project.
For example, the salary of Corporate Office Employees like employees involved in Finance,
Procurement, Design, Salaries of Directors, employees in the office General Managers Office,
Dy. General Managers Office, Executive Engineers office who are not directly supervising the
projects. The concerned Executive Engineer shall ask for the information of indirect labour from
all the higher offices and the higher offices shall provide the information regarding indirect
labour to the concerned Executive Engineer. The basis of segregation of indirect labour cost shall
be as follows:
(1) A list of total no. of employees shall be prepared and the salary cost of each
employee shall be mentioned against each employee.
(2) It shall be identified as which employees are working under projects or O&M. If the
employees are identified separately for O&M and projects, their salaries shall be allocated
accordingly.
(3) If the particular employee is also looking after both projects and O&M activities his
salary shall be first divided between O&M and projects on the basis of approved budgets for
O&M and projects for the divisions under the unit.
(4) The amount of salary finally segregated for projects shall be divided between all the
projects on the basis of approved/ estimated costs/ value of the projects.
f) Indirect Overheads: Indirect Overheads shall be allocated in the ratio of the
approved/ estimated costs/ value of the projects. The Concerned Executive

59/81
g) Interest during Construction (IDC): In order to estimate IDC, the phasing of the project
is required to be made in respect of requirement of funds for the project. The timeliness shall also
be defined for the completion of the project. The rate of interest shall be prevailing market rate of
the lending institutions. Necessary provisions shall also be made for increase in the interest rates.
Let us consider an example:
Let the total cost of the project be Rs. 10.00 crores, duration of completion is 2 years, rate of
interest be 10% and the draw downs be as follows:
On the start of project - Rs. 2.00 crores
After six months - Rs. 4.00 crores
After one year - Rs. 3.00 crores
After one & half year - Rs. 1.00 crores
The IDC shall be calculated as follows:
Interest on Rs. 2.00 crores @ 10% for 2 years + Interest on Rs. 4.00 crores @ 10% for 1year 6
months + interest on Rs. 3.00 crores @ 10% for 1 year + Interest on Rs. 1.00 crore @ 10% for 6
months.
Interest during construction shall be shown in the estimates separately. If required,
assistance in this regard may be taken from Corporate Office.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
MEANING OF RESEARCH:
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define research as a
scientific & systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an
art of scientific investigation. The Advanced learner's Dictionary of current English lays down
the meaning of research as a 'careful investigation as inquiry especially through search for new
facts in any branch of knowledge. Redman & Mory define research as a 'systematized effort to
gain new knowledge. Some people consider research as a movement, a movement from the
know to the unknown. It is actually a voyage of discovery. We all possess the vital instinct of
inquisitiveness for, when the unknown comforts us, we wonder & our inquisitiveness makes
probe & attain full & fuller understanding of the unknown. This inquisitiveness is the mother of
all knowledge & the method which man employs for obtaining the knowledge of whatever the
unknown can be termed as research.
Research is an academic activity & as such the term should be used in a technical sense.
According to Clifford woody research comprises defining & redefining problems, formulating
hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing & evaluation data, making deductions &
reaching conclusions, and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit
-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
72/81
the formulating hypothesis. D. Slesings & M. Stephenson in the encyclopedia of social sciences
define research as "the manipulation of things, concept or symbol for the purpose of generalizing
to extend, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or
in the practice of an art". Research is, thus, an original contribution to the existing stock of
knowledge making for its advancement. It is the pursuit of truth with the help of study,
observation, comparison & experiment. In short, the search for knowledge through objective &
systematic method of finding solution to a problem is research. The systematic approach
concerning generalization & the formulation of a theory is also research. As such the term
'research' refers to the systematic method consisting of enunciating the problems, formulating a
hypothesis, collecting the facts of data, analyzing the facts & reaching certain conclusion either in
the form of solutions towards the concerned problem or in certain generalizations for some the
theoretical formulation.
SOURCES OF DATA:
The task of data collection being after a research problem has been defined & research design
checked out. While deciding about the method of data collection to be used for the study, the
researcher should keep in mind two types of data i.e.:
1. Primary Data
2. Secondary Data.
Primary Data
Primary data is one which is collected by the investigator himself for the purpose of a
specific inquiry or study
Primary data are collected afresh and for first time.
Such data is original in character and is generated by surveys conducted by individuals or
research institutions.
-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
73/81
Secondary Data
Secondary Data when an investigator uses the data which has already collected by others
such data is called secondary data.
This data is primary data for the agency that collects it and becomes secondary data for
someone else who uses this for his own purposes.
This can be obtain from journals, reports, govt. publication, publication of professional
and research organizations and so on.
METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
Method of collecting primary data
Observation method
Interview method
Schedules
Questionnaires
Observation method-: The observation method is used to study relating to behavioral
sciences. Ex.-: Super Market.
Interview method-: The interview method of collecting of data involves presentation of
oral stimuli and reply in terms of oral response. It can be used through personal interviews
and if possible, through telephone interview.
Schedules method-: Schedule may be defined as a Performa that contains a set of
questions which are asked and filled by interviewer in a face to face situation with
another.
Questionnaires method-:
-
7/30/2019 Costing and Budgeting
74/81
In this method questionnaire is fulfilled by individual meet or sent (usually by post &
email) to the persons concerned with a request to answer the questions and return to
questionnaire.
Types of Questions-:
Background question
Multiple choice or closed-end question
Intensity question
Free response or open-end question
Collection of Secondary Data
Data which is collected at first hand either by the researcher or a particular person
especially for purpose of the study is known as primary data. Primary data become
secondary data to another person for further study upon the topic.
Example-: internet search engine Google. Available data on this always be the primary
data but when we use to search any topic related to our study called secondary data.

RESEARCH DESIGN: CLASSIFICATION
The present project Budgeting in UPCL was studied on the basis of annual reports,
records and circulars of UPCL for last years. The data used in this project is secondary
data which is collected from concerned authorities.
Methodology adopted:
I have studied and understood the requirement of Budgeting for the Organization.
The existing procedure of Budgeting System that is running in UPCL is studied in and
understood. For this purpose existing manuals, annual reports, circulars were studied by
gathering information from person concerned through informal interview.

INFERENCES
The difference between Budgetary Estimate and actual figures in due to following reasons:
Political Reasons:
When there is a political interference and due to that public is influenced then in these
conditions UPCL people does not work and set budgetary estimates are not fulfilled.
Geographical Conditions:
Due to geographical conditions like icefall, rainfall, cyclone, earthquake it is uneasy to do
work in these conditions as provisions made in the budget estimate.
Difficulty in getting clearance:
More than 50% of Uttarakhand is under forest region for which permission is taken from
Central Government to establish lines and Substations.
Global Concern:
If basic material price rises then there is problem of cost escalation.

CONCLUSION
The financial position of U.P.C.L. is not good, in order to have good financial position it should
incur only unavoidance expenses. Like it should convert its loan to equity share capital so that no
provision is made for interest. The accounting system of U.P.C.L. is based on UPSEB rules and it
also follows Companies Act, 1956. The costing system of U.P.C.L. is also not efficient as they do
not have any money to conduct business operations so they borrow loan. Due to that they have to
pay interest thats why its cost of production is high. The working capital management of
U.P.C.L. is also negative.

RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of my understanding I think that budgeting in UPCL is managed in a prudent way
but in order to improve its performance there should be a performance based activity wise
budgeting because from this type of performance based budgeting information of different
activity of each department is easily collected.
LIMITATIONS
Errors while making calculations are likely to creep in.
Entire calculations are based on secondary data which has limitations with regards to
applicability and accuracy.
Due to time constraint the project suffered serious limitations.
