The Odisha Power Transmission Corporation Limited (OPTCL) is a critical entity in the power sector, responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity across the state of Odisha, India. To enhance efficiency in its financial processes, OPTCL implemented the Budget Expenditure Management System (BEMS), a solution aimed at automating the requisition process for fund allocation. Collaborating with Oasys Tech Solution, OPTCL has successfully introduced an innovative and comprehensive system that has revolutionized the way budget management and fund allocation are handled.

OPTCL's operations are extensive and encompass multiple units responsible for various aspects of the power transmission and distribution network. Managing budgets and allocating funds to these units can be a complex and time-consuming task. The existing manual processes were prone to delays, inefficiencies, and errors, often leading to budget misalignment and financial bottlenecks.

OPTCL faced several challenges in its budget expenditure management:

Manual Requisition Process : The manual requisition process for budget allocation was cumbersome, resulting in time delays and inaccuracies.

Budget Alignment : Ensuring that budget requests aligned with the allocated funds was a challenging task.

Efficiency : The existing system lacked the efficiency needed to streamline financial processes, impacting the overall performance and responsiveness of the organization.

In response to these challenges, OPTCL partnered with Oasys Tech Solution to develop and implement the Budget Expenditure Management System (BEMS). This solution aimed to automate the requisition process, making budget allocation more efficient and accurate.

Automated Requisition Process : BEMS automates the requisition process, allowing respective units to request funds based on allocated budgets through a user-friendly interface.

Budget Allocation and Approval : OPTCL can seamlessly approve and allocate funds to respective units based on their requisitions, ensuring timely and accurate financial transactions.

Budget Monitoring : BEMS provides real-time visibility into budget utilization, enabling OPTCL to monitor and control expenditures effectively.

Reporting and Analytics : The system offers advanced reporting and analytical tools to provide insights into budget performance and financial data.
