EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The objective of the study is to analyze the Capital Structure in BSES in which the
proposals are analyzed in terms of return on investment and Payback period and
also the internal rate of return.
The acceptance rules for the proposal are decided by the management of the
Organization.
In Capital Structure we analyze the process we use to make decisions concerning
investments in the long-term assets of the firm.
The general idea is that the capital, or long-term funds, raised by the firms are used
to invest in assets that will enable the firm to generate revenues several years into
the future.
Often the funds raised to invest in such assets are not unrestricted, or infinitely
available; thus the firm must budget how these funds are invested.
The main objective of this internship was to learn the work that is being done in
different fields by different companies. To learn and enhance the skills that will
help in choosing in specialization for my BBA course in the next year and to have
a clarity about the different methods used in different fields to solve the
organizational problems to achieve their objective.
As an Finance intern in BYPL, I learned about GST invoices, GST MIS and in
filing GST Return, analysis of GST notification and circulars. This helped me
prepare TDS MIS and TDS Returns Analysis of TDS Provisions w.r.t. new
amendments and circulars issued by Income Tax Department.

Introduction
BSES Limited is India’s premier utility firm engaged in the generation, transmission and
distribution of electricity. Formerly, known as Bombay Suburban Electric Supply Limited, it was
incorporated on 1st October 1929, for the distribution of electricity in the suburbs of Mumbai,
with a pioneering mission to make available uninterrupted, reliable and quality power to the
customers and provide value added services for the development of the power and infrastructure
sectors.
On 1st March 2002, BSES Ltd. was renamed as Reliance Energy. Post takeover by the Reliance
Group, BSES has announced mega investment plans in the power sector. Upon implementation
of these, the Mumbai market will probably account for a minority of its sales and profits. BSES
have setup its own power plant at Dahanu power station and a dedicated distribution line, which
shows that it has in-house capabilities ranging from engineering, operation & maintenance of
power plants and transmission and distribution systems.
BSES through international competitive bidding acquired an early stake of 51% in three of the
four distribution companies of Orissa. At present, BSES along with its subsidiaries provide
electricity to more than 33.96 lakh consumers in an area covering about 1,23,000 sq. km.
As part of its active support in privatization process, BSES has recently acquired an equity stake
of 51% in two of the three distribution companies of Delhi after unbundling and privatization of
the erstwhile Delhi Vidyut Board. The two distribution companies-
Table 1.1
History of Electricity in Delhi
The history of electricity in Delhi dates back to 1905 when M/s John Fleming Company was
awarded the license as per Indian Electricity Act, 1903, for generation and distribution of power
in Delhi. It was replaced by Delhi Tramway and Lighting Company, which was subsequently
renamed as Delhi Electricity Supply & Traction Company. In 1939 The Delhi Central Electric
Power Authority (DCEPA) was formed to run the services. In 1951, the DCEPA was taken over
by Delhi Electricity Board, constituted under Indian Electricity Supply Act 1948. In 1958, Delhi
Electricity Supply undertaking came into existence and was once again converted to Delhi
Vidyut Board in 1997.
The power sector in Delhi has undergone a major transformation since 2002. From a single State
Electricity Board called Delhi Vidyut Board, and its erstwhile avatar Delhi Electricity Supply
Undertaking (part of Municipal Corporation of Delhi), the entire sector was divided into five
companies namely, three distribution companies, one transmission / holding company and one
generation companies. This was the outcome of the Delhi Electricity Reform Act, 2000. It is the
far sightedness of the then government, led by Smt. Sheila Dikshit, which made such far
reaching changes possible even in the absence of a central legislation providing for reform of the
electricity sector, which was enacted much later in the form of Electricity Act, 2003.
In these companies, 49% stakes is that of government by the way of holding assets and land on
lease, and in turn government has three directors on each of the boards of the three companies
whereas the Managing Director is appointed by the larger shareholder namely TATA Power in
case of NDPL, Reliance Energy in case of BYPL and BRPL.

Basically BSES, Delhi is a power distribution company. In the sector of power distribution,
BSES, Delhi has covered 75% market Share in terms of revenue and out of that BSES Yamuna
has 45% revenue and remaining is covered by BSES Rajdhani Power limited i.e. 30%.
Actually for the player of power distribution in position Delhi, each player has a specific area for
power distribution and so there is no specific market position for any player. Each player has full
monopoly for the power distribution in its respective region.
Category of Consumers
BSES Delhi caters to supply of electricity to more than two million consumers, who are further
divided into 4 circles and 33 divisions (14 BYPL & 19 BRPL). BSES has a wide variety of
consumers and are distinguished into house, residential complexes, high buildings, commercial
complexes, industrial houses, government establishment, municipal hospitals and many more.
The consumers are broadly divided into two categories:-
1. On the Basis of Load
a. SLCC-Consumers having load less than 11KW
b. MLCC -Consumers having load in between 11KW and 45KW
c. KCC -Consumers having load more than 45KW
d. GCC -Government premises and consumers.
Customer Profile
Category BRPL BYPL
An interesting observation is that though domestic consumers are 80.04% of the total population,
still they consume less than 50% of electricity. This is because the consumption per consumer is
high for industrial sector.
It must be admitted that the distribution system in Delhi was abysmally poor due to the inability
of erstwhile Delhi Vidyut Board to make the necessary investments at the distribution level. This
required large capital investments to be made by the companies to provide an uninterrupted and
stable power to the people of Delhi. This explains an increase in the capital expenditure in the
initial years. The distribution companies have lived up to the expectations in making large
investments in improving the distribution system. The technical improvements made by BSES
Yamuna Power Limited show a high level of improvement in the 66, 33 and 11 KV systems. The
use of High Voltage distribution systems has ensured that the small groups of consumers are not
able to hook on to the lines and steal power, thereby reducing AT & C losses while at the same
time they get stable power.

Board of Directors- BSES Yamuna Power Ltd-
To cut AT&C losses BSES Yamuna has implemented various measures like replacing electro-
mechanical meters with electronic meters, bringing new consumers into un-electrified areas,
aggressive drive to curb theft, improved collection efficiency, speedy settlement of disputes
through special courts, recovery of dues etc.
Network and Infrastructure
System up-gradation and improvements:
BSES has been upgrading and modernizing its distribution systems. It has adopted
technologies and processes conforming to global benchmarks, and electrified previously
un-electrified areas. It has also introduced high-voltage distribution systems to ensure there
is no theft. There has been notable growth in ground facilities of new grids, power
transformers, distribution transformers, extra-high voltage cable lengths, and LT lines.
BSES has augmented its network strength for Delhi distribution to cater to peak demand of
4200 MW against approximately 2900 MW in financial year 2002. It has also shown
significant improvement in reducing equipment failures and breakdown resolution.
Through all these efforts, the Delhi consumer is experiencing improved load shedding,
voltage quality, stability in power supply, fault repairing, and response time.
Electronic metering
With domestic consumers constituting 84 per cent of the consumer mix, a strong meter
measurement system to arrest revenue leakage was a pre-requisite. BSES has installed
electronic meters, despite extensive opposition, with Government support and favorable
court verdicts. Electronic meters are downloadable with no manual intervention and the
quality of meter reading has improved, reducing leakages. Electronic meters also
facilitate an analysis of consumer usage patterns, and the data is useful in resolving
related grievances. For the high-end key consumers another milestone has been achieved
by introducing automatic meter reading. BSES has also metered all the 9000-plus
distribution transformers, which will enhance effective energy audits to identify high loss
areas.
IT infrastructure enhancement
For end-to-end integration of various functions and processes, BSES has made major
investments to bring its IT capabilities to global standards. It has developed the largest
single-location IT network in North India; 330 offices are networked with 24x7x365
monitoring and uptime maintained at 99 per cent. It has deployed about 3800 PCs and
800 printers across these locations. With large consumer database to manage on a round-
the-clock basis, BSES has continuous database support and monitoring of 40 servers and
network attached centralized storage set up of 4 TB with 200 users connected, ensuring
100 per cent uptime. It has a work force of nearly 9000 people trained in related IT
capabilities. Functions of finance, materials, metering and billing are all integrated on
SAP. BSES is now implementing a more advanced IT system for revenue cycle
management – SAP (ISU/CCS).
In the finance function, all aspects of accounting, capitalization, collections,
payments, payroll etc, are online, real time on the S.A.P- FICA platform. The cash
management system with 200 cash counters and multiple payment options is well
integrated, robust, and online. The entire capitalization process is totally integrated from
the project clearance stage to material consumption, completion, and monitoring. The
process extending from ‘downloading of meters’ to billing and then to cash, is a key
component of the ‘revenue management cycle’. The whole process is purely system
driven with minimum human intervention.
AT&C Losses-:
Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) loss is one of the most critical business efficiency
measures for power distribution companies, and is a factor of two clearly identifiable and
measurable parameters. First, the amount collected (kWhs realized) by the Discom for energy
sold, and second, the energy input (kWhs supplied) to the Discom periphery. ‘Amount collected’
means money actually received from retail consumers as opposed to what they were billed. Thus
it captures the entire gamut of leakages in the Revenue stream.
Technical losses are attributable to heat and friction caused by the physical operation and
design of any distribution system. Energy input at the Discom periphery is transmitted
through a complex and multi-tier distribution network before it is finally delivered to
consumers. The quantum of technical losses during transmission depends on the quality
of distribution network and infrastructure.
Commercial losses are controllable and are a combination of theft, un-metered supply,
defective and slow meters, un-billed meters, billing errors, fictitious customers and bad
debts. Commercial efficiency thus plays a significant role while measuring business
efficiency, and Discom need to take all technical and commercial interventions to contain
/ reduce losses.
GENCO generates energy and then through TRANSCO it is transferred to DISCOM. DISCOM
then gets the electricity distributed to final consumers through district supply offices. Then
DISCOM generates bills to the consumer according to the usage. The amount paid by the
consumers is converted into units and then those units are compared to the actual units
transmitted by the TRANSCO. The loss of units is called AT&C Loses.
VARIOUS PROCESSES-:
New Connection:-
The consumer approaches the nearest office for submitting application of new connection. An
applicant can be domestic, non- domestic, agricultural or industrial connection purpose. The
process is explained below
Commercial
Security Deposit
Technicality
Demand Note
Service Line
Deposits
Meter Group
Installation
Meter reading is done monthly or bi- monthly depending on connection category. Domestic
consumers are billed bi-monthly where as other categories are billed on a monthly basis.
Institutions like schools, colleges, hospitals, etc. are given non-domestic load. However they are
billed as per domestic tariff.
Bills -:
In actual bill original reading of the consumer meter is taken and accordingly bill amount is
calculated. But if due to some reasons actual reading cannot be taken then in that case Average
or Provisional Bill is issued in which consumption is calculated on basis of past reading trend.
Issuance of Average Bill is allowed only twice. After that no Average Bill can be issued.
A unique CRN No. is allowed to every meter. In case of Domestic consumer, the consumption
units are on monthly basis. Issue Date and Due date are given on the bill. According to the tariff
scheduled issued by the commission, the bill amount is calculated.
1. Firstly, the IT Department provides the data to finance (billing) department consisting of
the Billing amount for the month, the revised data i.e. adjustment (if any) and the net of
both i.e. net bill.
2. Then the data that is received is checked by the finance department –
Actual + Adjustment = Net Bill
if the data is okay , then it will be uploaded to SAP server for further posting to GLs.

The assets of a company can be financed either by increasing the owner’s claim or the creditor’s
claim. The owner’s claim increases when the firm raises funds by issuing ordinary shares or by
retaining earnings; the creditor’s claim increases by borrowing. The various means of financing
represents the financial structure of an enterprise.
The term capital structure is used to represent the proportionate relationship between debt and
equity. Equity includes paid-up share capital, share premium and reserve and surplus (retained
earnings). The company will have to plan its capital structure initially at the time of its
promotion. Subsequently, whenever funds have to be raised (financing decision), a capital
structure decision is involved. Capital structure refers to the mix of sources from where the long-
term funds required in the business may be raised. A demand for raising funds generates a new
capital structure; a decision has to be made to the quantity and forms of financing. This decision
will involve an analysis of the existing capital structure and the factors, which will govern the
decision at present. The company’s policies to retain or distribute earnings affect the owner’s
claim.
Shareholder’s equity position is strengthened by retention of earning. The debt equity mix has
implications for the shareholder’s earnings and risk, which in turn will affect the cost of capital
and the market value of the firm.
A firm should try to maintain an optimum capital structure with a view to maintain financial
stability. The optimum capital structure is obtained when the market value per equity share is the
maximum. It may be defined as that relationship of debt and equity securities which maximizes
the value of a company’s share in the stock exchange .In case a company borrows and this
borrowing helps in increasing the value of company’s share in the stock exchange, it can be said
that the borrowing has helped the company in moving towards its optimum capital structure. In
case, the borrowing results in fall in market value of the company’s equity shares, it can be said
that the borrowing has moved the company from its optimum capital structure. The objective of
the firm should therefore be to select the financing or debt equity mix, which will lead to
maximum value of the firm.
Features on an appropriate capital structure
1. Profitability:
The most profitable capital structure is one that tends to minimize cost of financing and
maximize earning per equity share.
2. Flexibility:
The capital structure should be such that company can raise funds whenever needed.
3. Conservation:
The debt content in the capital structure should not exceed the limit which the company can bear.
4. Solvency:
The capital structure should be such that firm does not run the risk of becoming insolvent.
5. Control:
The capital structure should be so devised that it involves minimum risk of loss of control of the
company.
Security Financing- This includes financing through shares including both equity and
preference shares and debentures.
Internal Financing- This includes financing through funds produced from a business
operation, as opposed to external financing, such as the issuance of debt or equity.
Loan Financing- This includes both short term and long-term loans.
The sources of financing include ordinary share capital, preference share capital and debenture,
long term borrowings from financial institutions and reserves and surplus.
The short term financing is obtained for a period less than one year. It is arranged in advance
from banks and other suppliers of short-term finance in the money market. Short-term finance
includes working capital funds from banks, public deposits, etc.

63%
The above graph clearly depicts that the proportion of debt (loan fund) in the financing mix of
BSES Yamuna Power Limited is much more as compared to share capital. The debt content is
62.67% whereas the proportion of share capital, reserves & surplus, consumer contribution for
capital works, service line deposits and development charges from consumers and consumer
security deposits is 16.60% , 7.63 % ,4.79% , 0.87 %, 7.42% respectively.

These approaches analyze the relationship between the leverage, cost of capital and the value of
the firm in different ways.
Assumptions of theories:-
a) There are only two sources of funds used by the firm: perpetual riskless debt and ordinary
shares.
b) There are no corporate taxes.
c) The dividend pay-out ratio is 100%.That is, the total earnings are paid out to the
shareholders as dividend and there are no retained earnings.
d) The total assets are given and do not change. The investment decisions are, in other
words, assumed to be constant.
e) The total financing remains constant. The firms can change its degree of leverage (capital
structure) either by selling shares and use the proceeds to retire debentures or by raising
more debt and reduce the equity capital.
f) The operating profits (EBIT) are not expected to grow.
g) Business risk is assumed to be constant overtime and is assumed to be independent of its
capital structure and financial risk.
h) The firm has a perpetual life.
Net Income Approach
According to net income approach, suggested by David Durand, the capital structure decision is
relevant to the valuation of the firm. In other words, a change in the financial leverage will lead
to a corresponding change in the overall cost of capital as well as the total value of the firm. If,
therefore, the degree of financial leverage as measured by the ratio of debt to equity is increased,
the weighted average cost of capital will decline, while the market value of the firm as well as
the value of ordinary shares will increase. Conversely, a decrease in the leverage will cause an
increase in the overall cost of capital and a decline both in the value of the firm as well as market
price of the equity shares.
The net income approach is based on three assumptions: first, there are no taxes; second, that the
cost of debt is less than the equity-capitalization rate or the cost of equity; third, that the use of
debt does not change the risk perception of investors. The financial risk perception of the
investors does not change with the introduction of debt or change in leverage implies that due to
change in leverage, there is no change in either the cost of debt or the cost of equity. The
implications of the three assumptions underlying the NI Approach is that as the degree of
leverage increases, the proportion of a cheaper source of funds, that is, debt in the capital
structure increases. As a result, the WACC tends to decline, leading to an increase in the total
value of the firm. Thus, with the cost of debt and the cost of equity being constant, the increased
use of debt will magnify the shareholder’s earnings and, thereby, the market value of the
ordinary shares.
The financial leverage, is according to the NI Approach, an important variable in the capital
structure of a firm. With a judicious mixture of debt and equity, a firm can evolve an optimum
capital structure which will be the one at which value of the firm is the highest and the overall
cost of capital is the lowest. At that structure, the market price per share would be maximum.
If the firm uses ne debt or if the financial leverage is zero, the overall cost of capital will be
equal to the equity-capitalization rate. The WACC will decline and will approach the cost of debt
as the degree of leverage reaches one.
For example-
A company’s expected annual net operating income (EBIT) is Rs.50,000. the company has
Rs.2,00,000, 10% debentures. The equity capitalization rate (ke) of the company is 12.5%.
Solution- With no taxes, the value of the firm, according to the NI Approach is
PARTICULARS AMOUNT
EBIT 50,000
(-) interest on debentures 20,000
Earnings available to equity shareholders(NI) 30,000
Equity capitalization rate (ke) 0.125
Market value of equity (S) = NI/ke 2,40,000
Market value of debt (B) 2,00,000
Total value of the firm (S+B) = V 4,40,000
Overall cost of capital = ko = EBIT/V (%) 11.36
Net Operating Income Approach
Net Operating Income Approach was also suggested by Durand. This approach is of the opposite
view of Net Income approach. This approach suggests that the capital structure decision of a firm
is irrelevant and that any change in the leverage or debt will not result in a change in the total
value of the firm as well as the market price of its shares. This approach also says that the overall
cost of capital is independent of the degree of leverage.
1. At all degrees of leverage (debt), the overall capitalization rate would remain constant.
For a given level of Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT), the value of a firm would
be equal to EBIT/overall capitalization rate.
2. The value of equity of a firm can be determined by subtracting the value of debt from the
total value of the firm. This can be denoted as follows:
Value of Equity = Total value of the firm - Value of debt
3. Cost of equity increases with every increase in debt and the weighted average cost of
capital (WACC) remains constant. When the debt content in the capital structure
increases, it increases the risk of the firm as well as its shareholders. To compensate for
the higher risk involved in investing in highly levered company, equity holders naturally
expect higher returns which in turn increases the cost of equity capital.
Traditional Approach
The Net Income theory and Net Operating Income theory stand in extreme forms. Traditional
approach stands in the midway between these two theories. This Traditional theory was
advocated by financial experts Ezta Solomon and Fred Weston. According to this theory a
proper and right combination of debt and equity will always lead to market value enhancement
of the firm. This approach accepts that the equity shareholders perceive financial risk and expect
premiums for the risks undertaken. This theory also states that after a level of debt in the capital
structure, the cost of equity capital increases.
Modigliani-Miller Approach
Modigliani Millar approach, popularly known as the MM approach is similar to the Net
operating income approach. The MM approach favors the Net operating income approach and
agrees with the fact that the cost of capital is independent of the degree of leverage and at any
mix of debt-equity proportions. The significance of this MM approach is that it provides
operational or behavioral justification for constant cost of capital at any degree of leverage.
Whereas, the net operating income approach does not provide operational justification for
independence of the company's cost of capital.
1. At any degree of leverage, the company's overall cost of capital (k o) and the Value of the firm
(V) remains constant. This means that it is independent of the capital structure. The total value
can be obtained by capitalizing the operating earnings stream that is expected in future,
discounted at an appropriate discount rate suitable for the risk undertaken.
2. The cost of capital (ke) equals the capitalization rate of a pure equity stream and a premium for
financial risk. This is equal to the difference between the pure equity capitalization rate and k i
times the debt-equity ratio.
3. The minimum cut-off rate for the purpose of capital investments is fully independent of the way
in which a project is financed.
Assumptions of MM approach:
Limitations of MM hypothesis:
The following are the 3 most common approaches to decide about a firm’s capital structure:
1. EBIT-EPS approaches- The EBIT-EPS analysis is an important tool in the hands of the financial
manager to get an insight into the firm’s capital structure management. He can consider the possible
fluctuations in the EBIT and examine their impact on EPS under different financial plans. If the
probability of earning a rate of return on the firm’s assets less than the cost of debt is insignificant, a
large amount of debt can be used by the firm to increase the earnings per share. This may have a
favourable effect on the market value per share. On the other hand, if the probability of earning a rate of
return on the firm’s less than the cost of debt is very high, the firm should refrain from employing debt
capital. It may, thus, be concluded that the greater level of EBIT & lower the probability of downward
fluctuation, the more beneficial is to employ debt in the capital structure. However, it should be realized
that the EBIT-EPS is a first step in deciding about a firm’s capital structure.
2. Cost of Capital and Valuation Approach- The cost of a source of finance is the minimum return
expected by its suppliers. The expected return depends on the degree of risk assumed by investors. A
high degree of risk is assumed by the shareholders than the debt-holders. In case of debt-holders, the rate
of interest is fixed and the company is legally bound to pay interest whether it makes profits or not. The
loan of debt-holders is returned within a prescribed period, while shareholders will have to share the
residue only when the company is wound up. This leads one to conclude that debt is a cheaper source of
funds than equity. The preference share capital is also cheaper than equity capital, but not as cheap as
debt.
3. Cash Flow Approach- One of a feature of a sound capital structure is conservatism. Conservatism does
not mean employing no debt or small amount of debt. Conservatism is created by the use of debt or
preference capital in the capital structure and the firm’s ability to generate cash to meet these fixed
charges. The fixed charges of a company include payment of interest, preference dividends, and the
principal, and they depend on both the amount of loan securities and the terms of payment. The amount
of fixed charges will be high if employs a large amount of debt or preference capital with short-term
maturity. The company expecting larger & stable cash inflows in the future can employ a large amount
of debt in their capital structure.
One important ratio which should be examined at the time of planning the capital structure is the ratio of
net cash inflows to fixed charges (debt- servicing ratio). It indicates the number of times the fixed
financial obligations are covered by the net cash inflows generated by the company. The greater the
coverage, the greater is the amount of debt a company can use.
CALCULATION OF RELATED RATIOS
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA is a widely used measure of core corporate profitability. EBITDA is calculated
by adding interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization expenses to net income.

Debt equity ratio-: The debt to equity ratio is the most popular leverage ratio and it provides
details about the amount of leverage (liabilities) a company has in relation to the equity. A high
ratio here means less protection for creditors. A low ratio, on the other hand indicates a wider
safety cushion.

CONCLUSION
“Capital Structure is concerned with the allocation of the firm’s scarce financial resources
among the available market opportunities. The consideration of investment opportunities
involves the comparison of the expected future streams of earnings from a project with the
immediate and subsequent stream of expenditure for it.”
Thus, the capital structure decision may be defined as the firm’s decision to invest its current
funds most efficiently in long-term activities in anticipation of an expected flow of future
benefits over a series of years. Such decisions may consist of addition, disposition, modification,
mechanization or replacement of any fixed assets.
