इंटरलाइन चालान सत्यापन में विलंब (Delayed Interline Invoice Verification and Settlement)
Definition
Incoming interline billings from partner carriers require high-accuracy manual verification: coupon matching against system bookings, fare and tax validation, and application of specific agreement terms. Outgoing invoices require manual calculation of revenue shares and submission. This creates a 15-30 day verification lag before settlement, delaying inbound cash from interline partners. Large carriers with high interline traffic experience significant working capital impact.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Working capital drag of 15-30 additional days in Accounts Receivable. For a carrier with ₹100 crores in monthly interline revenue, this represents ₹50-100 crores in delayed collections. Opportunity cost at 8% annual rate: ₹3-6 crores annually.
- Frequency: Daily (applies to every incoming and outgoing interline invoice)
- Root Cause: Manual coupon auditing, lack of automated GDS-to-billing system integration, absence of pre-built agreement rule engines
