Declares closing stock (raw material, work-in-progress, finished goods) and book debts as at month-end, valued at cost or market whichever is lower, so the bank can compute Drawing Power for the cash-credit / OD limit.
Translates the stock statement into Drawing Power: paid-for stock plus eligible book debts, less the stipulated margin and less creditors for stock, giving the maximum permissible drawing for the period.
Give the bank projected and actual current assets, current liabilities and operating performance for larger borrowers, supporting quarterly monitoring of the working-capital limit against the audited position.
The bank-appointed auditor's independent report verifying physical stock, its valuation, ageing and insurance, plus book-debt ageing and eligibility, with observations on any Drawing Power impact and control weaknesses.
Lists receivables by age bucket so the bank can exclude debts older than the permitted period (often over 90 or 120 days) and any related-party or disputed debts from Drawing Power.
Registers the bank's hypothecation charge over a company borrower's current assets with the Registrar of Companies, perfecting the security and establishing priority.
Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
The Reserve Bank's Master Direction and related circulars on loans and advances set the prudential basis for how banks assess working-capital limits and compute Drawing Power (DP). DP is the amount a cash-credit or overdraft borrower may draw against hypothecated current assets, worked out as paid-for stock plus eligible book debts, less the stipulated margin. Stock audit is the lender's mechanism to independently verify that the stock and receivables reported in monthly statements actually exist and support the sanctioned limit. This framework is guidance for banks, not a statute imposing duties on the borrower; the borrower's obligations flow from the sanction letter that adopts these norms.
View sourceThe IRAC (Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning) norms govern when a loan account is downgraded to a Non-Performing Asset. A cash-credit or overdraft account is treated as out of order, and can be classified as an NPA, where the outstanding stays continuously over the sanctioned limit or Drawing Power, or where there are no credits sufficient to cover interest, for a prescribed period (broadly 90 days). Stock audit findings that cut DP below the outstanding balance can therefore directly trigger NPA classification. Understanding these norms helps a borrower correct discrepancies before an account slips, protecting both the limit and the credit rating.
View sourceThe SARFAESI Act, 2002 lets a secured creditor enforce its security interest without court intervention once an account is classified as an NPA. Hypothecation of stock and book debts is a security interest under the Act. Stock audit protects both sides here: it confirms that the charged current assets exist and are adequately valued, which is the very collateral a bank could look to under SARFAESI if the account defaults. Where audit shows the security has eroded, the bank may reduce exposure or seek additional cover. We describe the Act's role in general terms and do not read specific enforcement steps into a routine stock-audit engagement.
View sourceA borrower's duty to permit stock audit does not come from a single statute; it comes from the loan sanction letter and the hypothecation agreement signed with the bank. These documents typically require periodic stock and book-debt statements, an annual (or more frequent) stock audit for limits above a threshold, the right of bank-appointed auditors to inspect premises and records, and maintenance of the agreed margin. Because the obligation is contractual, the exact cadence, threshold and margin vary by bank and by sanction. We read each borrower's sanction terms first rather than assume a standard rule, since breach of these covenants is what actually triggers penal action.
Bank working-capital limits are sized using assessment methods that RBI has, over time, recommended or accepted: the Maximum Permissible Bank Finance approach from the Tandon and Chore Committees for larger borrowers, and the simplified turnover method (associated with the Nayak Committee) under which limits for smaller units are pegged to a percentage of projected turnover with a defined margin. Stock audit is the after-the-fact check that the current assets actually held justify the limit that these methods produced. Knowing which method sized a limit tells the auditor what level of stock and receivables to expect, and flags cases where drawings have outrun the underlying business.
View sourceHypothecation of stock is fundamentally a contract: the borrower retains possession and use of the goods while creating a charge in the bank's favour, unlike a pledge where the lender holds possession. The Indian Contract Act, 1872 provides the general law of contract that underpins the hypothecation agreement and related undertakings, while SARFAESI gives the statutory definition and enforcement route for the security interest so created. This distinction matters in stock audit: because the borrower keeps and turns over the goods, independent verification of quantity, condition and ownership is the only reliable way for the lender to know its security still exists.

“FilingPro handled our quarterly stock audit at ₹35 crore exposure with Indian Bank — ABC analysis, multi-godown coverage and clean DP working. The certificate was filed in RBI format on day 8 of physical verification and the bank's risk department closed without any observation. Hypothecation board compliance flagged at one godown was rectified before the certificate went out.”
“Our ₹12 crore CC limit was at risk because of MSOD-versus-book variance flagged by the bank's concurrent auditor. FilingPro reconciled three positions — bank submission, books and physical — identified slow-moving stock that was being carried at full value, and recomputed DP after write-down. The bank accepted the working and the limit was retained at renewal.”
“Multi-bank consortium with SBI as lead and three member banks — total exposure ₹85 crore. FilingPro coordinated stock audit certificates per banker with pari-passu charge verification, applied statistical sampling under SA 530 on high-value finished goods and produced four certificates within 14 days. All four banks accepted without query.”
“We export aluminium components and carry significant customs-bonded stock under MOOWR Section 65. FilingPro segregated bonded stock from owned stock for DP purposes, verified the in-transit position with bills of lading, and produced a clean certificate. The bank's earlier auditor had been double-counting bonded stock — the corrected position increased our drawable margin by ₹2 crore.”
“At ₹6 crore working capital we were on the threshold of stock audit becoming mandatory. FilingPro took the engagement at the basic plan, conducted physical verification at our two godowns in Ambattur Korattur Road, applied AS-2 cost-or-NRV consistently and produced the bank-format certificate. The audit experience was professional and the cost was fully within budget.”
“Income Tax officer issued Section 145(3) notice on stock variance using the bank stock audit report from earlier year. FilingPro produced the working papers, ICDS II reconciliation and Section 145A inclusive-method bridge. The AO accepted the explanation and the rejection was withdrawn. The audit-trail discipline saved us from a best-judgment assessment.”
