Credit and cash
Mill distributors: advance or 7-15 days, price on date of dispatch; fabricators and contractors: 15-45 days with a running account; walk-in farmers and house owners: cash or UPI; government works contractors pay late (60-90 days)
Coils paid in advance or within 15 days and held 2-6 weeks; colour coils tie up the most money because of colour and thickness variety. Fabricator dues run 30-60 days in practice, so the dealer often funds 1-1.5 months of sales.
