Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC)?
The Cash Conversion Cycle measures the time (in days) it takes for a business to convert its investments in inventory and other operational resources into cash inflows from sales. A shorter CCC indicates superior operational efficiency and less reliance on expensive short-term bank debt.
How does reducing CCC impact profitability?
Shortening the CCC by accelerating inventory turnover or receivables collection frees up trapped liquidity, directly reducing bank Cash Credit interest charges and boosting return on capital employed (ROCE).
Why should DPO not be extended beyond 45 days in India?
Under the MSMED Act, 2006 (and Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act), payments to registered MSME suppliers must be made within 45 days. Failing to do so triggers mandatory compound penal interest and disallowance of tax expenses.
