It was a major supplier to core sectors such as the Army, the Railways, State Road Transport Corporations, the Air Force, the Navy, Power, and Aviation. IOCL revised its Cash Management System or Treasury Management System in the year 2006-07.
Management of cash is extremely crucial for any organization as mismanagement can lead to financial distress. Cash management helps in short-term stability and long-term survival. In order to handle business effectively and grow in terms of quantum sales and profits, it is essential for a company to establish an adequate and positive cash flow order.
IOCL started with centralizing the whole collection system and slowly moved toward centralization of the complete payment system. This was a sign of further flexibility in treasury functions.
