Items for two kinds of buyer
An Asansol shop enters the ordinary building list — cement, TMT by size, sand, gitti — plus the sections and consumables industrial contractors ask for, with specifications on the item. Party rates and credit limits go in for the contractor accounts, because those are the balances that stretch. The catalogue can grow; the party list is what to get right first.
Industrial demand that does not stop
With the Burnpur works and the industrial belt running out through Raniganj and Kulti, Asansol has a construction demand that keeps going when the surrounding districts slow down. Dealers here supply plant contractors, township housing and ordinary retail from the same stock, which means the same shop produces a referenced invoice for one customer and a thirty-second cash bill for the next.
Formal buyers pay against documents
A contractor working for a large organisation is paid when their process releases it, and their accounts department clears an invoice on the paperwork rather than the relationship. A bill carrying the buyer's GSTIN, HSN codes, line-wise tax and a purchase order reference goes through; one missing any of those comes back as a query and waits another fortnight. On the receiving side, the vehicle and receiver on the challan settle the same question.
Credit stretched by somebody else's cycle
When your buyer is paid slowly, you are financing the gap. That makes ageing the number that matters rather than the total — a balance at ninety days behaves differently from one at thirty even when the party is entirely reliable. Credit limits set in advance keep the exposure to any one contractor inside what the shop can actually carry.
