How to read a company's balance sheet: Simple guide for retail investors in India
If you've ever wanted to understand how strong a company is before investing, learning to read a balance sheet is a great place to start. For Indian retail investors, it's one of the most important tools to judge a company's financial health. In this article, let's break down the key sections of a company's balance sheet in simple, easy-to-follow terms—using examples from Indian companies listed on NSE and BSE. What is a balance sheet? A balance sheet is a financial statement that shows what a company owns (assets), what it owes (liabilities), and what's left for shareholders (equity) on a specific date. Formula: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder's Equity This formula always stays in balance. That's why it's called a balance sheet. 3 key parts of a balance sheet (with Indian examples) Assets (What the company owns) This includes everything the company controls that has value. Current Assets: Short-term assets like cash, bank balances, inventory, and trade receivables (Example: Dabur's inventory and cash reserves) Non-Current Assets: Long-term assets like land, buildings, factories, machinery, or investments (Example: Tata Steel's plants and machinery) Liabilities (What the company owes) These are the company's financial obligations. Current Liabilities: Payments due within a year (Example: Creditors, short-term borrowings – think of Reliance Retail's trade payables) Non-Current Liabilities: Long-term loans or debt (Example: Hindalco's long-term debt from banks) Shareholder's Equity (What belongs to shareholders) This is the net worth of the company. Share Capital: The money raised from shareholders (Example: Infosys' equity capital) Reserves and Surplus: Retained earnings and other reserves (Example: Asian Paints' general reserves and profits over the years) Key ratios you can derive from the balance sheet Debt-to-Equity Ratio: Measures financial risk. Example: Debt-heavy companies like Vodafone Idea vs debt-free companies like Hindustan Unilever. Current Ratio: Shows short-term liquidity (Current Assets / Current Liabilities). Return on Equity (ROE): Shows how efficiently the company is using shareholder's money. Why should Indian investors check the balance sheet? To avoid companies with excessive debt To spot liquidity risks To identify growth in retained earnings over years To compare companies within the same sector Final takeaway For any Indian investor, glancing at the balance sheet before investing is like checking the health report before buying a used car. You don't need to be a CA to read it—just knowing the basics can help you avoid big mistakes. Next time you research a stock, open the company's annual report, go to the balance sheet section, and start reading with this article as your cheat sheet!
