Common questions

FAQs.

What is a working capital certificate?
It is a CA-certified statement of an entity's net working capital — total current assets less total current liabilities — as at a specific date, presented with the full schedule of each component. Banks use it in working-capital assessment and renewal, and tender authorities accept it as evidence of the bidder's liquid financial capacity.
How is net working capital computed in the certificate?
Net working capital = Total current assets minus total current liabilities. Current assets typically comprise inventories, trade receivables, cash and bank balances, short-term loans and advances and other current assets; current liabilities include short-term borrowings, trade payables, other current liabilities and short-term provisions. Classification follows Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 or the entity's applicable reporting framework.
Who can issue a working capital certificate for a tender?
A practising Chartered Accountant issues it on firm letterhead with FRN, membership number and UDIN. Many tender documents specifically require the certificate from the bidder's statutory auditor or a practising CA, and some prescribe their own proforma — in which case the CA certifies on the authority's format while keeping the same verification discipline.
Is UDIN mandatory on a working capital certificate?
Yes. UDIN is mandatory on all certificates issued by practising CAs, and receiving banks and tender authorities can verify it on udin.icai.org. Generate the UDIN before issuing and quote it on the certificate.
