Turnover Certificate in Hyderabad

Telangana tenders and the buyers around Hyderabad

Telangana's departments and local bodies publish on the state's e-procurement platform at tender.telangana.gov.in. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation's own tender documents direct bidders there. The eligibility clause usually sets a turnover floor over the preceding three financial years and names the evidence, and some GHMC documents ask for an original certificate from a chartered accountant giving the turnover for the reference years. Read the clause for three things: which years, whether a minimum applies to each year or to the average, and whether an original or a scan is wanted.

Hyderabad suppliers also bid for central demand. Defence laboratories, public sector manufacturers and central institutions in and around the city buy through GeM or their own e-procurement portals, and a GeM bid commonly sets a minimum average annual turnover for three years, accepting audited balance sheets or a CA certificate as proof. Exemptions for micro and small enterprises appear in many bids but not all.

A third reader is specific to the city's pharma base: a customer's quality or procurement team qualifying a supplier. They rarely prescribe a format. We draft to their questionnaire, state the period and basis, and keep the language usable for an overseas reviewer.

Export incentives, SEZ supplies and "revenue from operations"

Hyderabad's manufacturers and service exporters see the turnover figures split in ways a domestic trader does not.

Schedule III to the Companies Act presents revenue from operations in three parts: sale of products, sale of services and other operating revenues. Export incentives such as duty drawback and RoDTEP credits, and the sale of process scrap, usually sit in that third part. They are genuine revenue in the accounts, but they are not supplies in your GST returns. Supplies to SEZ units go the other way: they are zero-rated under GST and counted in aggregate turnover, and they are in the accounts too. Exports are excluded altogether when MSME classification is worked out.

A clause asking for turnover "as per audited accounts" points to ₹2,225.0 lakh, though some notices specify sales only, which would be ₹2,140.0 lakh. A requirement framed on GST data points to ₹2,140.0 lakh, and an MSME scheme looks at ₹880.0 lakh. Whether a particular scheme treats SEZ supplies as exports is a question we check against that scheme's own wording, not assume. The certificate states one figure and its basis.

Bank limits and IT empanelments

For export credit and working capital renewals, Hyderabad banks often want the year's turnover before the audit is signed. We certify from the books and the GST returns, cross-checked to export realisation records, and mark the figures unaudited. Where the bank wants projections and an assessed limit, that is CMA data.

IT empanelments often ask for turnover from software or IT-enabled services only, and some ask for it separately for the Indian entity where a group has several. We certify a segment figure only where the revenue ledger records it that way.

Hyderabad's pharma and IT groups often run through several companies: a manufacturing entity, a marketing company, an Indian subsidiary of an overseas parent. A turnover certificate is issued for one entity, identified by its PAN, and reports that entity's figure. A buyer who wants the group's turnover needs consolidated audited statements, and we certify from those only where they exist and the clause allows it. Adding up separate entities' figures on one certificate, without that basis, is something an evaluator would rightly reject.
