In case of scrutiny of stock statement, bank should carefully scrutinize all the pros and cons of the stock including visiting the premises, stock should be splitted into category of nature of stock, fast and slow moving goods etc. for quarterly period of months

Stock statement is a document on the basis of which DP is calculated. Drawing Power is updated in regular intervals using this.
One of the major item determining DP is stock as this forms aprt of W.C and it would be inappropriate to provide DP on the stock that is slow moving or non moving and hence seperation is required to be shown in the statement.

Further, account becomes irregular if the stock statement is not submitted for more than 90 days as the Borrower is enjoying an obsolete DP.

Hope this helps:)
