The Liabilities section lists current liabilities (accounts payable, GST output tax payable, TDS payable, advance from customers) followed by long-term liabilities (bank loans, deferred revenue). The Equity section shows share capital, retained earnings from prior years, and current-year net profit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Balance Sheet for Indian Compliance<\/h2>\n<p>Indian companies preparing financials under the Companies Act 2013 need a Balance Sheet in Schedule III format. While Zoho Books does not generate Schedule III automatically, the accounts it maintains are directly mappable to Schedule III line items. Most Zoho Books-using companies export the Balance Sheet to Excel and have their CA format it for the annual return filing with the Registrar of Companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Reading the Balance Sheet for Financial Health<\/h2>\n<p>Key ratios you can calculate from the Zoho Books Balance Sheet include the Current Ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities, ideally above 1.5), Debt-to-Equity Ratio (total liabilities divided by equity), and Working Capital (current assets minus current liabilities). These three numbers tell you whether the business can pay its near-term obligations and how much financial risk it carries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Industry:<\/strong> Manufacturing \u2014 A Nashik auto-parts manufacturer checks its Balance Sheet every quarter before applying for a working capital loan.
