6.1 Definition of Financial Analysis
The process of evaluating businesses, projects, budgets and other
finance-related entities to determine their suitability for investment.
Typically, financial analysis is used to analyze whether an entity is
stable, solvent, liquid, or profitable enough to be invested in. When
looking at a specific company, the financial analyst will often focus on
the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. In
addition, one key area of financial analysis involves extrapolating the
company's past performance into an estimate of the company's future
performance.
6.2 Meaning of Financial Analysis
Financial analysis is the examination of a business from a variety of
perspectives in order to fully understand the greater financial situation
and determine how best to strengthen the business. A financial analysis
looks at many aspects of a business from its profitability and stability to
its solvency and liquidity.

I I
6.3 Concept of Financial analysis
Financial analysis is the process of evaluating the cash flows
associated with different management scenarios in order to determine
their relative profitability. This is clearly an important factor to
consider in evaluating alte rnatives, but not necessarily the only one. At
first glance, you may think it should be fairly obvious that alternatives
that generate the most money, after expenses, are the most profitable.
Generally speaking, this is true; however, it can and does get a bit more
complicated than that. The primary factor that complicates financial
analysis is the fact that the timing of a cost or revenue can have a large
effect on the value of the cost or revenue.
6.4 Role of Financial Analysis
The Financial Analysis function performs in-depth analysis of the
institu tion' s financial and operating results independently of the
business units and prepares management reports for Senior
Management and the Board. This function is generally found as a
separate unit only in larger institutions.

12
6.5 Purpose of Financial Analysis
Individual investors or firms that are interested in investing in
small businesses use financial analysis techniques in evaluating target
companies' financial information. By examining past and current
financial statements -- balance sheets, income statements and cash flow
statements -- potential investors can form opinions about investment
value and expectations of future performance. Financial analysis can
also assist small-business owners as they weigh the effect of certain
decisions
, such as borrowing, on their own companies.
6. Need of Financial Analysis
Financial analysis (also referred to as financial statement
analysis or accounting analysis or Analysis of finance) refers to an
assessment of the viability, stability and profitability of a business, sub
business or project.
It is performed by professionals who prepare reports using ratios
that make use of information taken from financial statements and other
reports. These reports are usually presented to top management as one
of their bases in making business decisions.
• Continue or discontinue its main operation or part of its business;
• Make or purchase certain materials in the manufacture of its
product;
• Acquire or rent/lease certain machineries and equipment in the
production of its goods;
• Issue stocks or negotiate for a bank loan to increase its working
capital;
• Make decisions regarding investing or lending capital;
• Other decisions that allow management to make an informed
selection on various alternatives in the conduct of its business.

13
6.7 Objectives of Financial Analysis
The objective of a Financial Analysis is to provide information's to all
the users of these accounts to help them in their decision-making. Note
that most users will only have access to published Financial info.
Interpretation and analysis of Financial Statement involves
identifying the users of the accounts, examining the information,
analyzing and reporting in a format which will give information for
economic decision making.
Types of users:-
Investors - look at the risk oOf the investment, profitability and future
growth.
Managers/Employees - have access to more information and will want
to know the stability of the company and profitability.
Creditors - are interested in the liquidity, as they just want to be paid in
time.
Banks - are interested in the performance and liquidity of organization
for leading purposes.
Government departments - have various uses.
Other groups including he local community on green issues, jobs, etc.

14
6.8 Importance of Financial Analysis
The financial analysis is important for different reasons:
1. Holding Of Share
Shareholders are the owners of the company. Time and again, they
may have to take decisions whether they have to continue with
the holdings of the company's share or sell them out. The financial
statement analysis is important as it provides meaningful
information to the shareholders in taking such decisions.
2. Decisions And Plans
The management of the company is responsible for taking decisions
and formulating plans and policies for the future. They, therefore,
always need to evaluate its performance and effectiveness of their
action to realize the company's goal in the past. For that
purpose, financial statement analysis is important to the company's
management.
3. Extension Of Credit
The creditors are the providers of loan capital to the company.
Therefore they may have to take decisions as to whether they have to
extend their loans to the company and demand for higher interest
rates. The financial statement analysis provides important
information to them for their purpose.
4. Investment Decision
The prospective investors are those who have surplus capital to
invest in some profitable opportunities. Therefore, they often have to
decide whether to invest their capital in the company's share.
The financial statement analysis is important to them because they
can obtain useful information for their investment decision making
purpose.

15
6.9 Ways of Financial Analysis
One of the most common ways of analyzing financial data is to calculate
ratios from the data to compare against those of other companies or
against the company's own historical performance. For example, return
on assets is a common ratio used to determine how efficient a company
is at using its assets and as a measure of profitability. This ratio could
be calculated for several similar companies and compared as part of a
larger analysis.
These elements are typically reviewed in a financial analysis:
1. Profitability: The business needs to review the levels of current and
past profitability and decide what they need to do to increase
profitability in the future.
2. Solvency: Businesses are also concerned with making sure that they
do not fold because they are in debt. A financial analysis will
highlight the debts they owe, and help create a pay-off plan.
3. Liquidity: A business needs to understand its cash position and make
sure that it has the ability to maintain a positive cash flow, while still
being able to pay for what they need immediately.
4. Stability: The business also wants to make sure that it is financially
stable, and does not have components that could cause it to fold.
They are thinking long term about the future of the company. They
want to make sure they do not get into financial trouble.
6.10 Methods of Financial Analysis

16
Financial analysts often compare financial
ratios (of solvency, profita bility, growth, etc.):
■ Past Performance - Across historical time periods for the same firm
(the last 5 years for example),
• Future Performance - Using historical figures and certain
mathematical and statistical techniques, including present and future
values, This extrapolation method is the main source of errors in
financial analysis as past statistics can be poor predictors of future
prospects.
• Comparative Performance - Comparison between similar firms.
These ratios are calculated by dividing a (group of) account
balance(s), taken from the balance and / or the income sta tement, by
another, for example :
Net income / equity = return on equity (ROE)
Net income / total assets = return on assets (ROA)
Stock price / earnings per share = P/E ratio
Comparing financial ratios is merely one way of conducting financial
analysis. ratios face several theoretical challenges:
• They say little about the firm's prospects in an absolute sense. Their
insights about relative performance require a reference point from
other time periods or similar firms.
• One ratio holds little meaning. As indicators, ratios can be logically
interpreted in at least two ways. One can partially overcome this
problem by combining several related ratios to paint a more
comprehensive picture of the firm's performance.
• Seasonal factors may prevent year-end values from being
representative. A ratio's values may be distorted as account balances
change from the beginning to the end of an accounting period. Use
average values for such accounts whenever possible.
• Financial ratios are no more objective than the accounting methods
employed. Changes in accounting policies or choices can yield
drastically different ratio values.
• Fundamental analysis.

17
Financial analysts can also use percentage analysis which
involves reducing a series of figures as a percentage of some base
amount. For example, a group of items can be expressed as a percentage
of net income. When proportionate changes in the same figure over a
given time period expressed as a percentage is known as horizontal
analysis. Vertical or common-size analysis reduces all items on a
statement to a "common size" as a percentage of some base value which
assists in comparability with other companies of different sizes. As a
result, all Income Statement items are divided by Sales, and all Balance
Sheet items are divided by Total Assets.
Another method is comparative analysis. This provides a better
way to determine trends. Comparative analysis presents the same
information for two or more time periods and is presented side-by-side
to allow for easy analysis.
6.11 Documents used in Financial Analysis

18
The three main sources of data for financial analysis are a company's
balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet outlines the financial and physical resources that
a company has available for business activities in the future. It is
important to note, however, that the balance sheet only lists these
resources, and makes no judgment about how well they will be used by
management. For this reason, the balance sheet is more useful in
analyzing a company's current financial position than its expected
performance.
The main elements of the balance sheet are assets and liabilities.
Assets generally include both current assets (cash or equivalents that
will be converted to cash within one year, such as accounts receivable,
inventory, and prepaid expenses) and noncurrent assets (assets that are
held for more than one year and are used in running the business,
including fixed assets like proper ty, plant, and equipment; long-term
investments; and intangible assets like patents, copyrights, and
goodwill). Both the total amount of assets and the makeup of asset
accounts are of interest to financial analysts.
The balance sheet also includes two categories of lia bilities, current
liabilities (debts that will come due within one year, such as accounts
payable, short-term loans, and taxes) and long-term debts (debts that
are due more than one year from the date of the statement). Liabilities
are important to financial analysts because businesses have same
obligation to pay their bills regularly as individuals, while business
income tends to be less certain. Long-term liabilities are less important
to analysts, since they lack the urgency of short-term debts, though their
presence does indicate that a company is strong enough to be allowed to
borrow money.
Income Statement
In contrast to the balance sheet, the income statement provides
information about a company's performance over a certain period of
time. Although it does not reveal much about the company's current
financial condition, it does provide indications of its future viability. The
main elements of the income statement are revenues earned, expenses
incur red, and net profit or loss. Revenues consist mainly of sales, though
financial analysts may also note the inclusion of royalties, interest, and
extraordinary items. Likewise, operating expenses usually consists

19
primarily of the cost of goods sold, but can also include some unusual
items. Net income is the "bottom line" of the income statement. This
figure is the main indicator of a company's accomplishments over the
statement period.
Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement is similar to the income statement in that it
records a company's performance over a specified period of time. The
difference between the two is that the income statement also takes into
account some non-cash accounting items such as depreciation. The cash
flow statement strips away all of this and shows exactly how much
actual money the company has generated. Cash flow statements show
how companies have performed in managing inflows and outflows of
cash. It provides a sharper picture of a company's ability to pay bills,
creditors, and finance growth better than any other one financial
statement.
6.12 Quality of Financial Analysis

I
20
The following statements describe the rating categories for the
assessment of the Financial Analysis function's independent analysis
and reporting of the ins titutio n's financial and operating results for
Senior Management and the Board. An overall rating of the Financial
Analysis function considers both its characteristics and the effectiveness
of its performance in executing its mandate. Characteristics and
examples of performance indicators that guide supervisory judgment in
determining an appropriate rating in the context of the nature, scope,
complexity, and risk profile of the institution are set out below.
Strong
The mandate, organization structure, resources, methodologies and
practices of the Financial Analysis function meet or exceed what is
considered necessary, given the nature, scope, complexity, and risk
profile of the institution. Financial Analysis has consistently
demonstrated highly effective performance. Financial Analysis
characteristics and performance are superior to generally accepted
industry practices.
Acceptable
The mandate, organization structure, resources, methodologies and
practices of the Financial Analysis function meet what is considered
necessar y, given the nature, scope, complexity, and risk profile of the
institution. Financial Analysis performance has been effective. Financial
Analysis characteristics and performance meet generally accepted
industry practices.
Needs Improvement
The mandate, organization structure, resources, methodologies and
practices of the Financial Analysis function generally meet what is
considered necessary, given the nature, scope, complexity and risk
profile of the institution, but there are some significant areas that
require improvement. Financial Analysis performance has been

generally effective, but there are some significant areas where
effectiveness needs to be improved. The areas needing improvement are
not serious enough to cause prudential concerns if addressed in a timely
manner. Financial Analysis characteristics and/or performance do not
consistently meet generally accepted industry practices.
Weak
The mandate, organization structure, resources, methodologies and
practices of the Financial Analysis function are not, in a material way,
what is considered necessary, given the natur e, scope, complexity, and
risk profile of the institution. Financial Analysis performance has
demonstrated serious instances where effectiveness needs to be
improved through immediate action. Financial Analysis characteristics
and/or performance often do not meet generally accepted industry
practices.

regions, 5 telecom factories, 3 training institutions and 4 specialized
telecom units.
7.4 History of BSNL
BSNL, then known as the Department of Telecommunications, had
been a near monopoly during the socialist period of the Indian economy.
During this period, BSNL was the only telecom service provider in the
country. MTNL was present only in Mumbai and New Delhi. During
this period BSNL operated as a typical state-run organization,
inefficient, slow, bureaucratic, and heavily unionized. As a result
subscribers had to wait for as long as five years to get a telephone
connection. The corporation tasted competition for the first time after
the liberalization of Indian economy in 1991. Faced with stiff
competition from the private telecom service providers, BSNL has
subsequently tried to increase efficiencies itself. Dot veterans, however,
put the onus for the sorry state of affairs on the Government policies,
where in all state-owned service providers were required to function as
mediums for achieving egalitarian growth across all segments of the
society. The corporation (then Dot), however, failed to achieve this and
India languished among the most poorly connected countries in the
world. BSNL was born in 2000 after the corporisation of Dot. The
corporisation of BSNL was undertaken by an external international
consulting team consisting of a consortium of A.F.Ferguson & Co, JB
Dadachanji and NM Rothschild - and was probably the most complex
corporisation exercise of its kind ever attempted anywhere because of
the quantum of assets (said to be worth USD 50 Billion in terms of
breakup value) and over half a million directly and indirectly employed
staff. Satish Mehta, who led the team later, confessed that one big
mistake made by the consortium was to recommend the continuation of
the state and circle based geographical units which may have killed the
synergies across regions and may have actually made the organization
less efficient than had it been a seamless national organization. Vinod
Yaish, then Chairman of the Telecom Commission made a very bold
decision to promote younger talent from within the organization to take
up a leadership role and promoted the older leaders to a role in
licensing rather than in managing the operations of BSNL. The
efficiency of the company has since improved; however, the
performance level is nowhere near the private players.

28
The corporation remains heavily unionized and is comparatively
slow in decision making and its implementation, which largely acts at
the instances of unions without bothering about outcome. Management
has been reactive to the schemes of private telecom players. Though it
offers services at lowest tariffs, the private players continue to notch up
better numbers in all areas, years after year. BSNL has been providing
connections in both urban and rural areas. Pre-activated Mobile
connections are available at many places across India. BSNL has also
unveiled cost-effective broadband internet access plans (Data One)
targeted at homes and small businesses. At present BSNL enjoys around
60% of market share of ISP services.

Year of Broa,lban,I 2007
2007 was declared as "Year of Broadband" in India and BSNL
announced plans for providing 5 million broadband connectivity by the
end of 2007. BSNL upgraded Data one connections for a speed of up to
2Mbps without any extra cost. This 2Mbps broadband service was
provided by BSNL at a cost of just US$11.7 per month (as of 21 July
2008 and at a limit of 2.5GB monthly limit with 0200-0800 hrs as no
charge period). Further, BSNL is rolling out new broadband services
such as triple play. BSNL planned to increase its customer base to 108
million customers by 2010. With the frantic activity in the
communication sector in India, the target appears achievable.
BSNL is a pioneer of rural telephony in India. BSNL has recently
secured 80% of the US$580 m (INR 25 billion) Rural Telephony project
of Government of India.
On 20 March 2009 BSNL advertised the launch of blackcherry
services across its Telecom circles in India. The corporation has also
launched 3G services in select cities across the country. Presently, BSNL
and MTNL are the only players to provide 3G services, as the
Government of India has completed auction of 3G services for private
players. BSNL shall get 3G bandwidth at lowest bidder prices of Rs
185 billion, which includes Rs 101.86 billion for 3G and Rs 83.13 billion
for BWA.

29
As of December 2011, many other private operators have started
rolling out their 3rd Generation (aka 3G) services alongside and are
enjoying some success in their campaigns to get market share. While
BSNL still maintains its connectivity standard and expands to many
more areas including rural areas with their 3G services. Also the
network infrastructure has been upgraded from to provide 3.6 Mbps to
7.2 MBps. It is enjoying a slow but somewhat steady success in gaining
market share in this regard.
The introduction of MNP(Mobile Number Portability) which is an
service that lets the consumer change wireless service providers while
retaining their actual mobile number, BSNL has seen many customers
opting for this service to move away from the services to other
operators. Despite this as the Indian Wireless market grows BSNL still
has a loyal base of subscribers and many more subscribers being added
to it every day. This provides customer services for 95 million as of June
2011.
BSNL announced the discontinuation of its telegram services from
15 July 2013, after 160 years in service. It was opened to the public in
February 1855; in 2010 it was upgraded to a web-based messaging
system in 2010, through 182 telegraph offices across India.

7.5 Challenges
During the financial year 2008- 09 (from 1 April 2008 to 31 March
2009) BSNL has added 8.1 million new customers in various telephone
services taking its customer base to 75.9 million. BSNL's nearest
competitor Bharti Airtel is standing at a customer base of 62.3 million.
However, despite impressive growth shown by BSNL in recent times,
the Fixed line customer base of BSNL is declining. In order to woo back
its fixed-line customers BSNL has brought down long distance calling
rate under One India plan, however, the success of the scheme is not
known and BSNL faces bleak fiscal 2009-2010 as users flee.
Presently there is an intense competition in Indian Telecom sector
and various Telco's are rolling out attractive schemes and are providing
good customer services. But situation as on 2012, BSNL will be third
largest operator (Service) and No 1 access operator in the country. As
per the TRAI Report 2011-12, BSNL became the most trustworthy
brand due to its loyalty towards customers and its rule.
Access Deficit Charges (ADC, a levy being paid by the private
operators to BSNL for providing service in non-lucrative areas,
especially rural areas) has been slashed by 20% by TRAI, w.e.f. 1 April
2009.The reduction in ADC may hit the profits of BSNL.
BSNL has started 3G services in 290 cities and acquired more than
600,000 customers. It has planned to roll out 3G services in 760 cities
across the country in 2010-11. According to users and big sources
BSNL's 3G data speed is much higher than other operator and also it is
competitively cheap.
Broadband services: The shift in demand from voice to data has
revolutionized the very nature of the network. BSNL is poised to cash
on this opportunity and has planned for extensive expansion of the
Broadband services. The Broadband customer base of 3.56 Million
customers in March'2009 is planned to be increased to 16.00 million by
March 2014. On 13 June 2012, BSNL employees participated called off
an earlier planned nationwide strike against discriminatory policies of

31
BSNL management upon promise by Management to resolve the
Demands of the protesting unions.
7.6 3G Coverage
BSNL paid the Indian government Rs. 101.87 billion for 3G spectrum
coverage. As of 2011, BSNL offers coverage in over 800 cities across
India. BSNL launched in 2012 a 3G wireless pocket router named
Winknet Mf50. It was released in collaboration with Shyam Networks.
Winknet Mf50 enables the connection of multiple devices to the internet
using a single sim card.

BSNL in the 65th position of the list of Most Trusted brands.

4. Sampling Plan
a) Sample Frame
The sampling frame is the whole population since is based on the
selling behavior of all units' presents in the population that is the
targeted to all the units in the population.
The process involved breaking up the various types educational
institute of Jaipur city. This division was made in such a way that each
one major area of education get place in the study, be it technical or
professional or other area of study. There by each of these areas of
study sample were drawn randomly or by stratified sampling.
b) Sample Size
20 colleges & 200 dormant retailers of handsets in prepaid sales.
There are near about 225 educational institutions in Jaipur including all
technical and professional institutions. So I select 20 colleges including
boys and girls colleges, technical and non-technical colleges,
professional and non professional institutions. Hence in this project
sample size is around one fourth of population size. We just collect
information about dormant retailers and ask question accordingly
questionnaire.
A definite plan was drawn up for obtaining a sample from
different areas of educational institute of Jaipur. Thus sample size has
been determined using a particular method. The availability of
resources in terms of infrastructure of field force. Time and cost was
also taken into account.

5. Sampling Design
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining technique or
procedure. The researcher would adopt in selecting items for the
sample.
Types of sample design: -
• Random sampling: - In random sampling, each of the population
has a definite reassigned probability of being selected in the
sample.
• Stratified sampling: - Under stratified sampling the population is
divided into several sub population (strata) that are individually
more homogeneous than the total population & then select items
from each stratum to constitute a sample.
8.6 Facts & Findings
The preparation of financial statements of Bharat Sanchar Nigam
Limited, New Delhi (BSNL), for the year ended 31st March 2014 in
accordance with the financial reporting frame work prescribed under
the Companies Act, 1956 is the responsibility of the Management of
BSNL.
Based on my analysis, I would like to highlight the following
significant matters under Section 619(4) of the Companies Act, 1956
which have come to my attention and which in my view are necessary
for enabling a better understanding of the financial statements and the
related Audit Report.
A. Balance Sheet
a) Equity & Liabilities
1. Current Liabilities (Note No. 11) - Other Current Liabilities - Rs
6823.63 crore

44
Dot, after completing provisional assessment of License fee for the
years from 2006-07 to 2008-09, raised an additional demand of Rs
4076.62 crore apart from Rs 378.30 crore towards demand for short
payment of license fee of for the year 2012-13. The Company did not
provide for the same but disclosed it is a contingent liability. As the
demand was based on assessment, the same should have been provided
for. Non-provision has resulted in understatement of other current
liabilities as well as accumulated loss by Rs 4454.92 crore.
B. State111ent of profit and Loss
1.Expenses - Other Expenses -License and spectrum fee - Rs 2243.30
crore
The does not include' 1428.62 crore being the penalties imposed
by the TERM Cell of DoT during the year 2013-14. Non-accounting of
the above as expenditure for the year has resulted in understatement of
expenses, Loss for the year and also Current Liabilities by' 1428.62
crore.
2.Employee Benefit Expenses (Note No. 24) - Pension Contribution -
Rs 889.14 crore
The above head is understated by Rs 707.03 crore due to charging
of pension contribution of absorbed employees on the bases of actually
drawn pay instead of on maximum pay during 2011-12, 2012-13 and
2013-14. This has also resulted in understatement of provision as well as
accumulated loss by Rs 707.03 crore.

1. Persistent Non-Reconciliation of balances with MTNL
As per accounts of BSNL for the year 2013-14, the amount
recoverable from and the amount payable to Mahanagar Telephone
Nigam Limited (MTNL) on current account have been disclosed as Rs
3517.95 crore and Rs 996.02 crore respectively resulting in net
recoverable amount of Rs 2521.93 crore from MTNL. However, as per
approved annual accounts of MTNL for the year 2013-14, the amount
recoverable from and the amount payable to the Company was Rs
4186.04 crore and Rs 1828.25 crore respectively resulting in a net
recoverable amount of Rs 2357.79 crore from BSNL. Thus, there was
net difference of Rs 4879.72 crore in the receivable/ payable amounts
between these two Government Companies under the same Ministry.

45
8.7 Data Collection
Since the study, undertaken by me is descriptive research, I have
concentrated on primary data through survey and collection by
secondary data.
8.8Source of Data Collection

46
Data is collected from two methods:-
a) Primary data:-
The questionnaire for data collection according to the information
required from the consumers was designed. The region undertaken for
the research is Jaipur (Raj.). Different areas selected for collection of
data through questionnaire and interviews.
b) Secondary data:-
Secondary data is collected from books, newspaper, magazine and
websites.
9. SWOT Analysis
1. What is SWOT Analysis?
A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) is
a tool used to provide a general or detailed snapshot of a company's
health. A SWOT analysis stands for Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, and Threats and is a simple and powerful way to analyze
your company's present marketing situation.
9.2 Why use a SWOT Analysis?

47
In any business, it is imperative that the business be its own
worst critic. A SWOT analysis forces an objective analysis of a
company's position vies a Vies its competitors and the marketplace.
Simultaneously, an effective SWOT analysis will help determine in
which areas a company is succeeding, allowing it to allocate resources in
such a way as to maintain any dominant positions it may have. Below
are numerous, current example SWOT analyses for sale.
9.3 How to perform a SWOT Analysis?
A SWOT Analysis is an integral part of a marketing plan and can
also be part of a business plan. Knowing what a SWOT Analysis is and
how to perform one is very important.
a) Strength
1. Knowledge. BSNL is ranked fastest growing company in
Rajasthan state.
2. Relationship selling. We get to know our customers, one by
one. Our direct sales force maintains a relationship.
3. History. It has loyalty of customers and vendors. It is local.
4. The other company in telecom sector was merged different
companies. But BSNL did not take over any small telecom
company. It establishes and develop broad network on its
own.

48
b) Weakness
1. Company has a large physical network, so some times it is
very difficult to manage all this in an idle manner.
2. In comparison to strong competitors the visibility of BSNL
is not satisfactory.
c) Opportunity
1. The financial strength of this is a backbone of India.
2. Training. The company provides in-depth training to their
employees and frontline sales executives.
3. Service. As BSNL target market needs more service, the
competitors are less likely than ever to provide it. Their
business model doesn't include service, just selling.
4. The large number of population which have still do not
have mobile could be target customer of BSNL
5. The brand image of BSNL is strong plus point with BSNL
so it is a great opportunity in front of Reliance infocomm
that they should avail this brand image.

49
d) Threat
1. The strong competitors of BSNL, Airtel just signed an
agreement with Nokia by which Airtel will increase its
network across country.
2. Some companies like Idea planning to open its services in
Rajasthan. So coming time is going to be very tough and
competitors.
10. Conclusion
•!• BSNL offered some attractive plans only for big player of the
market, which purchases the products in bulk so that small retailer
of the market suffered from lack of demand and other problems.
•!• In almost ten zones above twenty per cent retailers express that
price discrimination is the basic cause to stop trade with of BSNL.
Some big retailers offered the same product at lower price. They
directly or indirectly entertain the benefits offered by company.
•!• Almost twenty percent said that they focused on core business
because it's negatively affecting their core business. So their overall
sales decreased. Frequent change in schemes also make
uncomfortable to focus on core business.

50
•!• Ten to fifteen per cent retailers are not satisfied with the services
provided by of BSNL. Particularly in area small retailers are not
satisfied with salesman services. Sometimes salesman did not give
additional benefits offered by company whereas some retailers
demanded hoarding and other things.
•!• Almost more than twenty five percent retailers are suffered from
lack of demand and less margin. If a same product available at
cheaper rate at big players shop then why they purchased from
small shops. Price discrimination is in the root of lack of demand.
•!• Less than ten percent stop trade due to other reasons like some
suffered from financial problems, some opened a new business and
some due to familiar problems.
11. Suggestions
• Removal of fixed termination charges will help BSNL serve its
customer better. It will come up with better offers in next financial
year. Customers will be able to get more affordable services.
• BSNL should also plane such kind of schemes, which are benefited to
small retailers. Big players of the market later on directly or
indirectly affect the sale and performance of company and direct
sales associates.
• BSNL can start a training and awareness program for small retailers
and employees.
• Make sure that its salesman maintains its brand name and prestige
of company.
