The two words
This page is for a petrol pump whose regular customers, transporters, take diesel on credit.
| Word | In Hindi | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding | बकाया | Everything the transporter still owes you today, whether or not it is due yet |
| Overdue | देर से बाकी रकम | The part of it whose due date has passed |
| Due date | भुगतान की तारीख़ | The fill date or bill date plus the credit days you agreed |
Overdue is always part of outstanding, never more.
A made-up example
Made-up pump, made-up figures. Sharma Fuels gives Gupta Transport 15 days' credit for diesel. Today is 30 October.
| Fill | Amount | Due date | Today |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 October | Rs 30,000 | 23 October | Overdue by 7 days |
| 18 October | Rs 25,000 | 2 November | Not due yet |
| 25 October | Rs 25,000 | 9 November | Not due yet |
| Total | Rs 80,000 outstanding | Rs 30,000 overdue |
If Gupta Transport now pays Rs 30,000, counted against the oldest fill, outstanding falls to Rs 50,000 and nothing is overdue.
Why watch overdue, not just outstanding
Two made-up transporters:
| Outstanding | Overdue | What it tells you | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transporter A | Rs 80,000 | Rs 0 | Every rupee is inside the credit days. No chasing. |
| Transporter B | Rs 30,000 | Rs 30,000 | Every rupee is late. Call B first. |
A owes more and has no problem. B owes less and every rupee is late. Outstanding shows how much credit you have out, which you compare with the credit limit. Overdue shows where to act.
What to do about each
- Outstanding: keep it under the transporter's limit, and look at the total across transporters with the debtor days calculator.
- Overdue: send a reminder the same day. See how old it is in ageing bands. Decide in advance when to stop credit.
In Khata Kavach
A bill can carry a due day. The Today screen shows "Due on bills" with how many are past due, and the transporter's Bills tab marks a late bill "Past due". The transporter's page shows how old the balance is. See the owner's Today screen and numbered bills.
