Paint is used to protect, preserve, decorate, or add functionality to an object or surface by
covering it with a pigmented coating. Examples of protection are the covering of metal to retard
corrosion, and the painting of a house to help protect it from the elements. An example of
decoration is to add festive trim to a room's interior. Paint may be used to add functionality by
modifying light reflection or heat radiation of a surface. Another example of functionality is the
use of color to identify hazards or to identify the function of equipment, such as pipelines or
military ammunition.
As There are many types of artists' paints: for example, oils, watercolor, acrylic, gouache
etc.Paint can be applied to almost any kind of object. It is used, among many other uses, in the
production of art, in industrial coating, as a driving aid (road surface marking), or as a barrier to
prevent corrosion or water damage. Paint is a semi finished product, or intermediate good as the
final product is the painted article itself.
Paint can also be mixed with glaze to create various textures and patterns. This process is
referred to as faux finish and is quite popular with discerning homeowners, architects, interior
designers, and scenic designers.
Cave paintings drawn with red and yellow ochre, hematite, manganese oxide and charcoal may
have been made by early Homo sapiens as long as 40,000 years ago.
Ancient painted walls at Denerdera, Egypt, which were exposed for many ages to the open air,
still possess a perfect brilliancy of color, as vivid as when they were painted about 2,000 years
ago. The Egyptians mixed their colors with some gummy substance, and applied them separated
from each other without any blending or mixture. They appeared to have used six colors: white,
black, blue, red, yellow, and green. They first covered the field entirely with white, upon which
they traced the design in black, leaving out the lights of the ground color. They used minimum
for red, and generally of a dark tinge.
Pliny mentions some painted ceilings in his day in the town of Ardea, which had been executed
at a date prior to the foundation of Rome. He expresses great surprise and admiration at their
freshness, after the lapse of so many centuries.
Paint was made with the yolk of eggs and therefore, the substance would harden and stick onto
the surface applied. Some red paint was made of blood of animal. Pigments were made from
plants and sands.

1.2ABOUT THE PROJECT WORK
The project work has been undertaken for fulfillment of course requirement for
completion of two year Masters of Business Administration program from Sikkim Manipal
Institute of Technology.
I selected Punjab national bank, Bihar sharif Nalanda Bihar to carry out the project work.
I was assigned to do my project on the topic “Working capital assistance by P.N.B at Punjab
National Bank” .The reason behind the selection of this topic is the role of working capital has
gained tremendous importance and is of utmost importance for the development and marketing
of the business. The P.N.B is one of the leading bank of banking industry of India . With the
opening of market and in the era of competitiveness of lot of national and multinational banks are
coming in the field of baknking sector and as such the banks have to ensure the satisfaction of the
customers and also the companies have to make sure of a safe and healthy environment of their
staff along with making a profit. Organizations need to establish their own standards for safe
practice tailored to their business demands and requirements. It should be made sure that the
workforce has the correct level of knowledge and skill to operate safely and that a safe and
healthy working environment is maintained. It is so due to the fact that it is the manpower which
gives an edge to the organization over its counterpart.
Since banks main activity is to collect the money from the customer and lend it to the place
where it is more secured and provides the optimum return. To select such place it is very
necessary for the banks, that before lending the money or proving the loan to the customer, bank
must go for the full information about the firm or to the person whom it is lending the money.
Then only it will succeed in lending the money to the place where they will get the maximum
return.

A. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:
► the other primary objective of the study is to estimate the profit made by the company by
►Based on the above objective the other objective is to work out the way to
Reduce the cost of the products which are manufactured at Gupta Paints and
Chemicals.
Provide required data for fixing sales price for submitting tenders, quotations etc
The study is only confined to Gupta Paints and Chemicals .In the present
competitive business scenario each and every organization are looking for ways to gain
an competitive advantage over their competitors so as to maximize their penetration in
the market. The best possible ways to gain a competitive advantage is by achieving an
optimal and the minimal cost of production which would give the company an edge over
their competitors. The company could sell its products at a cheaper rate compared to its
competitors which would help the company to penetrate the market.
Hence this project tries to work out the cost of production of paints at
Gupta Paints and Chemicals and compare it with its competitors and try to find out the
ways to minimize the cost of production and how the company could penetrate the
market.

CHAPTER II
METHODOLOGY
After knowing in brief about the Working Capital and Working Capital management in
general, I decided to know as how working capital is calculated and how Punjab National
Bank helps the small scale industries in maintain those working capital and what are the
steps taken by bank for the security of the loan.
(1) The present study is based on secondary data collected from the
Books of accounts and bills and vouchers of Punjab National Bank
Review of last year’s annual Reports.
7
2.3 Selection of the Sample
This study being analytical in nature was developed with the help of
secondary data collected from the statistics obtained from the Punjab
National Bank. Many reference books and annual reports were also
resources of data. Primary data was used to confirm the findings of
secondary data. Informal discussions with concerned executives, dealers and
the faculty members were the major sources of the primary data.
A sampling frame may be defined as the listing of the general components of the individual units
that compromise the defined population.
a) People: The people include all the empoyees, manager and people from top
management of P.N.B.
b) Activities: Activities included observation of work in different departments and
having hands on experience at work.
8
2.6 Sources of Data
2.6.1 PRIMARY DATA
The project doesn’t involve any Primary data and the objective also didn’t
require any Primary data. Thus the research is based on the secondary data
attached with the report. The only Primary data used was to confirm the
• Financial Statements
The main advantages of Secondary Data are that the information obtained
relates to Original figures of the Company. It is not influential by anyone
and it is not biased
9
2.8 Findings
The cost of production is fairly good, but the sales are being hampered by the production
constraint faced by the company.
The products offered by Gupta Paints are fairly cheaper compared to the the
The company is making a profit of 5%, along with this the dealers are also
The efficiency of the workers is affected by the informal ambience prevailing in the
factory.
The other factor found out was that the company has an undeveloped distribution channel
which concentrates only in Kolkata and surroundings, because of which the people are
not aware of the brand, which hinders the sale.
The company is unable to match the demand with the supply because of production
constrain.
10
2.9 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:
Every study conducted may have certain shortcomings and unfortunately ours is also a
similar case. A few errors have crept in despite our best efforts to avoid them but it is
expected that still our study and findings are very much relevant.
• The greatest limitation is the time factor. To study the working capital assistance by
Punjab National Bank, requires a lot of times, it is not possible to cover all the working
capital assistance provided by P.N.B in such a short span of time i.e. 10 weeks (2.5)
months.
• Some of the Information about the company has not been disclosed by the company due
to their policies; hence some of the data are based on assumption.
• The other limiting factor was the lack of cooperation from the management of the
organization.
• There was not sufficient time to measure the effectiveness of the recommendation.

CHAPTER III
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS
CONCEPTUAL DEFINATION
Working Capital: The term working capital refers to the capital required to carry on the
daily activities of the business. It is very vital for any sort of business.
There are two concept of working capital:
1. Gross working capital.
2. Net working capital.
Gross Working Capital: It refers to the firms total investment in current or circulating
assets.
Net Working Capital: The term net working capital has been defined in two different
ways:
1. It is the the excess of current assets over current liabilities. Or we may define it as the
difference between current assets and current liabilities.
2. It is that portion of firm’s current assets which is financed by the long term fundd of the
company.
Thus figouuraticaly we can express net working capital in the following ways:
Need for working capital : since we know that basic objective of every business is to
maximize the wealth of shareholders’. This can be possible only when the revenue of sales is
maximized. However, sales do not convert into cash instantaneously. There is always a time gap
between the sale of goods and receipt of cash. Working capital is required for this period in order
to sustain the sales activity. In case adequate working capital is not available for this period, the
company will not be in a position to sustain the sales since it may not in a position to purchase
raw materials, pay wages and other expenses required for manufacturing the product to be sold.
The time gap between the sales and their actual realization in cash is
technically termed as ‘operating cycle’ of the business.

Operating cycle of a business can be represented in the chart form as follows:
Account

Types of working capital : Working capital can be divided into two category on the
basis of time:
Permanent working capital: This refers to that minimum amount oof investment in
all current assets which is required at all times to carry out minimum level of business activities.

estima
2.Percent of sales approach: This is the most simple and traditional approach of
estimating the working capital requirements. On the basis of past experience between sales and
working capital requirements, a ratio can be determined for estimating the working capital
requirements in the future.
14
Symbolically, the duration of working capital cycle can put as follows:
O = R+W+F+D-C.

We can see from the figure that projected current assets of shiv sagar rice mill ltd is
in increasing trend from year to year , where as its current liabilities remains almost
constant. Since we know that working capital is the firm’s investment in its total
current assets and its net working capital is the excess of current assets over its
current liabilities. Or it is the proportion of firms current assets which is to be
financed by the firm long term funds.
24
Thus we can conclude from the figure that most
portion of the shiv sagar rice mills private ltd is supposed to be financed by the
long term fund of the organization.

SYNTHETIC ENAMEL
It is an oil-based paints and can have various combinations of solvents as the diluents, including
aliphatics, aromatics, alcohols, and ketones. It is essentially used for the preservation of all types
of architectural structures, including factories, from ordinary attacks of weather. Uncoated wood
and metal are particularly susceptible to deterioration, especially in cities where soot and sulfur
dioxide accelerate such action. Aside from their purely protective action, paints, varnishes, and
lacquers increase the attractiveness of manufactured goods, as well as the aesthetic appeal of

a community of homes and their interiors.It is a fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended
in an oil base. Theses paints can be diluted with thinner, and become water-resistant when dry.
Depending on how much the paint is diluted or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes,
the finished automotive painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own
unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
The synthetic enamel paints are manufactured in the multiple of 100 kgs and the whole process
can be divided into five steps that are
Charging, Dispersing, Stabilization Discharging and washing, Make up

CHAPTER-IV
82
Man is an emotional being, whose ‘thirst’ for satisfaction can never be fully quenched. The
Company Gupta paints are renowned company which has been trying to establish itself as No.1
in the automotive paint market in and around Kolkata for their Quality and Services.
However, despite the fact that after providing the best Quality and Service, the company has not
been able to increase or even maintain it’s Market Share in Automotive paint industry in the
Eastern Region? There are various factors that are affecting the sales of the company in this zone
and they are as follows:
1) The cost of production is fairly good, but the sales are being hampered by the production
constraint faced by the company.
2) The company is unable to match the demand with the supply because of production
constrain.
3) The products offered by Gupta Paints are fairly cheaper compared to the price offered by
its competitors.
4) The company is making a profit of 5%; along with this the dealers are also being allowed
a 10%+ discounts on all products.
5) The efficiency of the workers is affected by the informal ambience prevailing in the
factory.
6) The other factor found out was that the company has an undeveloped distribution channel
which concentrates only in Kolkata and surroundings, because of which the people are
not aware of the brand, which hinders the sale.
Recommendation:-
Gupta Paints and Chemical has a market share of over 16% in the auto motive paint sector and the
same is true in case of other category of paints in the market of Kolkata
83
But as they say, there is always some room for improvement. Following
are some of the recommendations based on the observations under study for Gupta
Paints And Chemical which will enable them in better Utilization of their Resources-
Assets and Manpower , thus reducing different Costs at different categories . This
will indirectly increase the Profits of the Company, and thus better Services can
be provided by the Company for higher Sales and Market Share.
a. The company should try to increase the production ,by replacing the old ball
mills, with new age technologically advanced pot mills and arritors which would
lead in reduction in the time required for the production of paint from 48 hours to
12 hours.
b. The company should install a belt conveyor for packaging instead of following a
manual process of pacakaging.This change would lead in reduction in the labour
cost and time but along with this will give uniformity to the product in the form
of weight and tidiness.
c. The company should switch to PVC containers for packing the paints instead of
using tin container; this would lead to slight reduction in the cost of containers.
d. The company should adopt a policy of division of labour which would add to the
efficiency of the labour as well the company.
e. The company should install colorant machine at all its dealer counter as soon as
possible. By doing this the company now has to produce only the bases while the
choice of the color can be made at the dealer counter. This change would lead to
reduction in the cost of holding inventory.

f. The company should focus on its corporate customers like railways along with
this it should try to build more corporate customer base.
g. The company should try to build a direct relationship with the manufacturers of
raw material, instead of depending on dealers.
h. The company should also focus on the decorative paint market which is under
tapped till now by the company.
