 Introduction

• Financial Operating Plan

– A multi-year forecast of finances of the local body for the medium-
term
– Salient feature
 Forecast based on past trends
 Forecast considering capital investment plans for the term of CDP
 Takes in to account: all outstanding dues, including debt and non-debt
liabilities

4.
 Process of developing FOP

5.
 Methodology

Developing accounts database –For past five years

–Identify growth trends

Generation prioritized project shelf –Project shelf for each sector

–Develop priority

Projections of revenue and capital –Consider past trends

accounts –Adding capital investments proposed
under the CIP

Defining improvement scenarios –Define improvements in the revenue and

expenditure trends considering reform
agenda
–Targets to servicing liabilities

Run pass scenarios over projected

accounts’ model

Select the most appropriate –Achieving surplus account

scenario –Service all debts (DSCR > 1.25)
–Reasonable increase in service charges
6.
 Generating Project Shelf

• Capital investment Plan

– Multi year scheduling of physical investments
– Prioritization of investments
– Demand-gap analysis of physical infrastructure
– Time period – generally 5 years

• CIP is an estimate of the level of investment needed to

implement CDP along with options and strategies for financing
it

7.
 Projections of revenue and capital accounts

• Categories of FOP Projections

– Revenue Account Receipts:
 Octroi, Taxes, Non-Tax Sources
 Grants, Contribution and Subsidies

– Revenue Account Expenditure:

 Establishment
 Operation and Maintenance
 Debt Servicing - Existing and New Loans
 Phasing of Non-Debt Liabilities
 Additional O&M

– Capital Income
– Capital Expenditure
• Adding up capital investments proposed under CIP

8.
 Developing Scenarios

• Estimates/forecast for revenue and expenditure for the term of

FOP
• Two sets of assumptions
– General/common
 Forecast of revenue and expenditure on the basis of past trends and

– Improvement scenario (alternates)

 Revenue improvement that may be achieved considering improved
municipal administration; i.e. improving collection efficiency, revision in
taxation rate, etc.

9.
 Selection of improvement scenario

• Run pass the improvement assumptions over financial database

model
• Discuss outcomes with local body for each improvement
scenario
• Select the most achievable scenario
• Selection with the consent of local body
• Develop definite plan to achieve the improvement/reform
assumptions

 Case Study – CDP: Vadodara Municipal Corporation

11.
 Develop Accounts database

• Present data sheet of VMC accounts – Excel model

• Generate trends for forecast parameters – Excel model

12.
 Define improvement Scenario

• Financial forecast for VMC – four scenarios

– assuming differing policy changes with respect to taxes or charges being
levied,
– collection efficiency
– growth and share of Public Private Partnership (PPP) in the proposed
scheme of JNNURM

• Some forecast parameters remain common for all scenarios

• Some forecast parameters for different for each of scenarios

investment capacity of VMC to the extent of 127% as compared
to the current capital expenditure of Rs 1,896.5 lakhs.
• Total Requirement of funds (in six years) for own share towards
capital investment – Rs.57000 lacs

• VMC shall enjoy a surplus in each year of the forecast period

• NPV of such surplus (at the rate of 9%) suggests an increased
investment capacity of VMC to the extent of 134% as compared to the
current capital expenditure of Rs 1,896.5 lakhs.
• Total Requirement of funds (in six years) for own share towards capital
investment – Rs.57000 lacs
• Total Availability of funds (in Six Years) for own share towards capital
investment – Rs. 72200 lacs
• The amount of average property taxes, water supply and solid waste
management charges proposed to be levied do not seem reasonable.
• Even though this scenario makes economic sense it is not desirable as
20.
it would pressurise citizens to pay more than reasonable charges
