Description
Project reports are the basic foundation for making any loan application. A good project report helps fetch a loan easily and without any delay. It serves as a key to the proposed project. Heavy reliance is placed by the banks and financial institutions on the pre-investment studies before committing funds to the new projects. It is thus essential to understand as to how pre-investment studies are to be carried out and how these should be presented to the institutions for financial analysis/ appraisals.

Division II deals with the finalisation of the cost of project and Division III deals with the financing aspect and the assessment of the cost of the capital employed for the project. Division IV deals with the practical aspects of the appraisal and the preparation of the projected statements while Division V deals with the appraisal criterion. Division VI deals with the host of allied financial services including venture capital, lease financing, hire purchase and housing finance. A separate chapter deals with the State Financial Corporations Act, 1951.
