– Buying of new stock as well as sale of stock are recorded in accounts
– The issue of items is also recorded
• Scheme-wise Expenditure Reports
Constraints
• Lack of uninterrupted internet connectivity.
• Lack of telephone connectivity at GP level and
therefore the BC Model is now operated in
offline mode in most of the places
