[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Razorpay supports payments through all the major debit and credit cards, UPI Payments, 50+ netbanking banks and popular wallets like : Mobikwik, PayUmoney, FreeCharge, Airtel Money, Ola Money and PayZapp. You can accept recurring payments from your customers when you integrate your account with Razorpay. Your customers can use their credit cards to make payments to you for the recurring invoices. However, this will be initiated from our end, and this will depend on your line of business and other factors considered by Razorpay. Enabling recurring payments is totally at the discretion of the payment gateway and partner banks. If you’d like to enable this for your organization, send us an email at [email protected] with your Razorpay Merchant ID and we’ll be glad to assist you. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Does Razorpay offer sandbox environment? Yes. Sandbox or test account can be used to test your integration without having to actually charge credit cards. The Test Environment is an exact copy of the Production Environment, except credit cards and bank accounts are not actually charged. Note: Make sure that you use Sandbox credentials for Sandbox account and Live credentials for Live account.

After that they will have to consent that all subsequent payments can go through without an OTP. Users will be notified about the payment in the transaction statement generated.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Here is a basic process flow of how the product will work: The customer signs up on your platform for the service and selects a plan for a timely subscription. At the time of the first payment, he fills up the card details and agrees to apply recurring payment through a checkbox. If the customer has an Indian issued credit card, the first transaction will go through a standard 2FA flow (OTP / Mastercard Secure password / Verified by Visa Password) If an international customer, the transaction will go through without 2FA. Through backend APIs, at the initiation of the transaction, you can let us know transaction characteristics like amount, schedule and the duration of the recurring plan. On the specified date, we automatically debit (without any intervention from the customer) the specified amount from the customer’s credit card and send them a confirmation of the same.

Here are the top 7 cash flow mistakes that can cripple your small business

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] All businesses run on cash. Managing money is an essential skill that all business owners should hone as the business progresses in its lifecycle. Small business owners are often caught in a bundle of activities aimed towards business growth, with very little time or money to assign resources towards monitoring their cash flow. At this stage, there are many chances to derail your business due to mismanagement of cash. According to a report from CBInsights, 29% of businesses fail because they run out of cash. Some common mistakes that can lead to cash flow issues include forced growth, miscalculation of profits, insufficient planning for a lean period or crisis, problems collecting payments and more. The first thing that illustrates a problem with cash flow is a dip in sales and a stagnant inventory, both of which directly affect your revenue. Poor money management and forecasting can lead to multiple cash flow gaps in your business, ultimately preventing you from paying your bills on time. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://finance.zohocorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/article.png” alt=”cash flow” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Make-payment-collection-a-breeze-with-Zoho-Invoice.png” alt=”How can I convert an estimate into an invoice?” title_text=”Make payment collection a breeze with Zoho Invoice” url=”https://go.zoho.com/HzZ%20https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] For your business to succeed, you must check for short term and long term solutions to avoid running into financial problems. Good cash flow management will ensure that you have enough cash to pay your employees on time, purchase inventory to fulfill your orders, have ample stashed in bank account as reserves, all while carving out an efficient way to collect payments before the due date. This will eventually prevent you from overspending and help you with your businesses’ growth plan. In this article, you will read about common cash flow problems businesses face and what you can do to save yours from a pool of debt. Common cash flow mistakes to avoid 1. Not monitoring financial statements Financial reporting is the method of monitoring financial statements at defined time intervals. A cash flow statement is a financial statement that gives you a detailed insight of your company’s expenses. Investors and other stakeholders rely on this document to judge the value of your business. When you do not monitor your financial statements regularly, you create chances for misinterpreting your businesses’ progress, which may lead to bad decisions. To avoid roadblocks due to cash flow, you must prepare a cash flow budget to predict future earnings. Good predictions are only possible when you have clear financials that are reconciled frequently. 2.Confusing cash flow with profit Business owners are always on the lookout for that one key metric to understand the financial health of their business. In such situations, cash flow and profit are often pitted against one another. Cash flow is the net income of cash moving in to or out of a business at any given time. Profit is the money that remains when you subtract the operating expenses from revenue. It is possible for your business to be profitable and still have negative cash flow keeping you from paying regular expenses and creating hurdles in your growth plans. Your business can also have a positive cash flow and yet find it hard to make a profit (usually the case in start-ups and scaling businesses). Cash flow and profit are not the same, and it is important that you understand the difference between the two before you make any important business decisions. For example, assume that you purchase wooden chairs for Rs 6000 at a 40% margin and sell it for Rs 10000. You can assume that you are making 40% on every sale, after considering minor expenses. However, at the end of a quarter as you prepare your balance sheet, you could be surprised at the losses your business made. In your calculations you did not consider a variety of costs like transaction fees, shipping costs, and costs of storing and returns (which might have been different for each sale). You could have easily assumed that you are making a profit every transaction, but after including overhead costs you can see the business actually took a loss. When your business cannot keep up with the losses, it becomes difficult to fulfil the cash commitments, leading to a cash crunch. Forecasting the consequences of such expenses is a necessary step and can be helpful in determining if there’s enough money in the bank account to meet all your expenses. For a healthy cash flow, you must first subtract your current expenses and future costs, like tax, from your revenue. Your business will only be profitable if there’s any money left after this.

You may not get payments on time, have insufficient cash to pay your dues, have to suddenly invest in repairing expensive equipment or lose customers during a crisis. Such excess expenses combined with insufficient financial reserves can drive your business bankrupt. Planning the cash flow for your business is always worth the time. As a short-term plan, you can consider stashing away some money as a cash reserve. Financial experts suggest that you can ideally set aside three to six months of your company’s regular expenses as cash reserves. Of course, the best way is to find out your business needs and analyse your financial statements before fixing an amount. You must also have a long-term cash flow outlook. This will help you forecast the cash required for business operations over a period of two to five years. The best place to start would be to monitor your current income and expenses. Here are a few things you can do to save up: Set a monthly goal and set aside that amount every month. Maintain a separate account to prevent from spending it elsewhere. Always try and cut down on

Contextual Banking — A Guide to Effectively Managing Your Accounts Receivables

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Imagine having to run your business without sufficient cash for two and a half months. Sounds like a nightmare, right? In fact this is a reality for a lot of businesses in India. A study conducted by Euler Hermes, a credit insurance company, revealed that it takes 75 days on average for business owners to receive payment for their sales. Here it is about Contextual banking. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Make-payment-collection-a-breeze-with-Zoho-Invoice.png” alt=”How can I convert an estimate into an invoice?” title_text=”Make payment collection a breeze with Zoho Invoice” url=”https://go.zoho.com/HzZ%20https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://finance.zohocorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/receivables-contextual-banking-1.png” alt=”banking” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] In order to compensate for late payments, Indian business owners typically either borrow money from unorganized lenders at a high interest rate, or sell all their loans to a third-party lender. Although this may seem like an immediate solution for a serious problem, this can spell financial disaster in the long run. When you have cash flow issues, borrowing more money only to pay high interest rates could eat away your capital funds and future profits. This will rapidly decelerate the growth of your business, resulting in bankruptcy. Managing your receivables efficiently should be your main focus as a business owner. You need to plan ahead, keep track of what your customers owe you, and control costs. Above all, you need a proactive system in place that will merge accounting and banking functions so that it’s easier to streamline your collection process and accounts receivable management. And contextual banking helps you do just that. With contextual banking, you can receive payments, track deposits and manage receivables from your accounting system. Let’s take a look at why contextual banking is the solution for managing receivables. Automatically follow up with customers The simplest and most obvious solution to late payments is to remind your customers to pay whenever an invoice is due. But, keeping track of unpaid invoices and chasing after customers takes up a lot of time which you could spend doing other productive tasks. A good accounting system can help you identify those invoices that are due and automatically send friendly reminders. This way you take a professional approach, avoid the awkward ‘talk’, and more importantly get paid. With contextual banking, you can go one step further and offer the customer different payment options to make it easy for them to pay promptly. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_video src=”https://youtu.be/4g9T20wRdio” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_video][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Provide a pleasant payment experience You work hard to please your customers so that they’ll want to keep doing business with you in the future. Providing convenient payment options will not only make it easier for them and put you in their good books, but will also get you paid faster. When you connect your bank account with your accounting system, you can offer multiple payment methods such as debit card, credit card, net banking, NEFT, RTGS, and UPI. You can also give your customers the option to pay through a payment link in your invoice, or through a self-help portal where they can keep track of all their invoices and make payments. When your customers make a payment, the money goes into your bank account within a few working days, and contextual banking makes sure that the corresponding invoice gets updated to Paid status automatically in your accounting system. Run receivables reports regularly As a business owner, you need specific insights into your receivables. You need reports that tell you whether you are managing your cash flow and collections the right way, or if you need to make some improvements. When you don’t use an accounting software, pulling up all this data for the month or the quarter can take days. By the time you have the information you need, it’s a little late to take timely action. With contextual banking, your bank balances and cash balances are updated in your accounting system automatically. So when you run important financial report such as balance sheet, profit and loss statement, or cash flow statement from your accounting system, you will have a truly up-to-date view of your finances. In addition to these reports, good accounting software will give you access to reports that tell you about your customer balances, how much money you’ve received so far, how many customers are yet to pay, how many days on average it takes for a payment to reach you, and more.

From Negative to Positive: How to Improve Your Cash Flow

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Make-payment-collection-a-breeze-with-Zoho-Invoice.png” alt=”How can I convert an estimate into an invoice?” title_text=”Make payment collection a breeze with Zoho Invoice” url=”https://go.zoho.com/HzZ%20https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] What’s more important than profits? Cash. Your profit margins can change at any time, but your cash flow determines your business’s current and future health. Cash flow is the money that flows in and out of your business, and is a crucial indicator of its financial health. Any business may be at risk of poor cash flow, and if its major causes are overlooked, the business may become unprofitable, dwindle further, and have to shut down. Knowing what can affect your business’s cash flow and how you can limit unnecessary cash outflow will help you manage it consistently, prepare for challenges, and grow steadily! Negative cash flow: how it can affect your business Negative cash flow is when your business spends more than what it receives, but this need not always indicate a loss. For example, your payments may be due before you receive your income and you may spend more than what you have at that time, leading to a cash flow problem. So, while you may recover your money later, or even if you’ve already been profitable, there will be certain months where you’d be spending more than your earnings. This can prevent you from having enough cash for future investments, leading to an imbalance in your revenue along with a decrease in your liquid assets. If you don’t manage your cash inflow well to face unexpected expenses, you may have a cash flow crunch. To tackle this problem, you have to understand what’s causing the shortfall. Common causes for negative cash flow Inefficient management: Poor productivity and marketing strategies can make you spend a lot without receiving adequate returns on your investment. For instance, your staff may be focusing on tasks that could be automated, or your marketing strategy may not be effective enough for your target audience. These may lead to high operating costs, as well as poor sales and credit ratings. Incorrect pricing: Undercharging or overcharging is another common reason for negative cash flow. If you have low profit margins, you might want to raise your prices. However, charging excessively for something that customers can get for a lower rate (with the same quality) will only discourage them from buying from you. Similarly, not charging enough can lead to lower returns, and will not improve your position in the market. Late payments: The more complicated your invoicing and payment process, the later your payments are likely to be. Delayed payments can hurt your cash flow, and affect your ability to pay your own vendors, pay for overhead expenses, and much more. Unnecessary investments: Investing too much on products or services that aren’t critical to your business can affect your cash flow. When you do this, you’re spending on non-essential assets that won’t give you much returns, leading to your funds getting drained. Improper planning: Failing to set long-term goals, expanding too quickly, or not having the right employees can impact your future opportunities and your brand image, all of which will hit your revenue. Things may look up temporarily, but you may not have enough resources to give you good returns. Poor financial planning will leave you short of funds when you have unexpected expenses, and you may become too dependent on loans without having enough cash to repay them. Managing poor cash flow is important, but so is steering your business towards consistently improving your revenue. Here’s how you can do both, in two stages. Stage 1: Survival strategies to manage poor cash flow Money matters Record and review your operating expenses and financial statements on a bi-weekly or monthly basis (depending on the size of your business), so you’re always updated on where your money is going to or coming from, and you can take action accordingly. You should also run a cash flow statement because this will help you understand how well you’ve been managing your cash flow. To prepare for the unexpected, you can keep aside a certain amount of cash every month as a cash buffer. This amount can be determined based on your general expenditure, your current and past performance, and how quickly your products get sold. If your overall performance is slow and indicates that you need more money for an emergency, you need a bigger reserve. If you can’t do this and urgently require cash, invoice factoring (selling unpaid invoices to companies in exchange for immediate cash) may help you get cash right away. However, the factoring company will take a cut of the money you earn. Alternatively, you can opt for a business loan. Ultimately, be mindful of the amount you spend during this period, and cut down on unnecessary expenses. If you need to pay for a business expense, prioritize the resources that will help you improve your cash flow and grow your business (whether long-term or short-term). For instance, if you had to choose between revamping your office space and purchasing new software to help your business processes, the latter would be far more beneficial. Avoid delayed payments Send out invoices as soon as possible and have a written record of your payment terms and conditions so your customer knows the consequences for not paying promptly. You can also incentivize them for prompt payments, or, if they opt out of cash payments, check their credit score to ensure they have a reliable record. In case you want to make a sale to a customer who doesn’t have a promising financial history, do so at a high interest rate; they’ll buy only if they really need to and it’s more likely that you’ll get your money back. Meanwhile, ask your vendors if they can extend the payment terms, and regularly check your AR aging report. This will provide details of payments that have crossed the due date, so you can follow up

How to improve website speed – Google is making page speed a mobile ranking factor

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Website Page Speed is a Mobile Ranking Factor [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Learning how to improve website speed is going to be essential for increasing SEO ranking on mobile search. Google announced that in July 2018 website page speed will be an official ranking factor for their mobile search index. Page speed has always been a ranking factor in desk top search but this is a monumental change to their mobile index. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Why is website page speed important to mobile [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Searchers using mobile devices expect websites to load at the speed of now! Mobile device usage has surpassed desktop usage and as a results mobile searches are trending in the same direction. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Google has always done everything in its power to provide an amazing experience for their searchers. Now they are focused on ranking websites that load quickly over ones that load slowly because that’s what searchers expect. Brans must learn how to improve website speed and prioritize that if they want to win in mobile search. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Why this page speed update is important to Google [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] First In 2016 Google announced that they were working on a mobile first index. This means if you don’t have a mobile friendly you won’t rank as well as those who do. This “Mobliegedan” update is suppose to hit this year. Second they launched Accelerated Mobile Pages(AMP) to help mobile pages load faster and recently AMP stories to make those pages more interactive Third mobile focused update is page speed as a mobile ranking factor. This shows us that Google’s focus on mobile is clear. If you are not taking mobile seriously then you will be in for a rude awakening. The brands who invest in mobile and page speed will be the leaders on the next iteration of search. Page load speed testing tools Here are three tools you can use to help find ways to speed up your website Pingdom Tool Google Page Speed Tester GTMetrix How to optimize the four most common website speed issues Learning how to increase the speed of your website should be a priority regardless if you care about Google. A KISS Metrics study showed that ecommerce sites lose seven percent in conversions for every second it takes the site to load. Here are five common things preventing websites from loading quickly. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 1. Compress images: Having large images that are not compressed is one of the most common issues that slow down a website. If you are working in photoshop you should always make sure that you export files that are optimized for the web. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Tiny PNG: Use Tiny PNG to help compress images before you upload them to the website. WP-Smush: Use the WP-Smush plug-in to optimize images on a WordPress website. You can also use a sprite as a single image source that is then used as a design resource for multiple images. Sprites are great [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 2. Minify CSS, HTML and JavaScript: It is essential to compress and clean up your website’s code. This means taking out any wasteful spaces and characters that don’t add value. Use Gzip to compress your code. Other compression resources: JavaScript Compressor CSS Minifier [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 3. Use a Content Distribution Network (CDN): CDNs are used to store and server content from servers that are not your own. CDNs also allow you to server content from servers that are close to your website visitors. So if someone visits your site from Germany a good CDN will allow you to server content from a server that is close to Germany. Two awesome CDN companies: Max CDN CloudFlare [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] 4. Use browser caching: Browser caching allows you to store content in your website visitors browser. If your content does not change often you can store it in their browser for 30 days. This is critical to making sure your website content doesn’t always have to be served from your servers. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Other page speed tips: Use AMP pages: Use Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) to server light weight pages for mobile searchers. Google did this to help people who don’t know how to improve website speed. The idea is that AMP pages are naturally optimized for speed so it takes the effort off of the site owner. Google has also launched an AMP story format that allows you to create rich media interactive pages for mobile. These pages also benefit from the high performance of the original AMP format. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Use a tag manager like Google Tag Manager Use a tag manager like Google’s GTM to store all of your website tracking code. This then allows your site to fire one tag with all the tracking codes instead of every single individual tracking tag. This allows your site to load much quicker. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Final thoughts Google has invested heavily in improving the mobile experience for their searchers. This means you should invest in learning more about how to improve website speed. Ranking well in mobile search is important if you are looking to increase website sales and traffic. Website page speed will soon be a mobile ranking factor. Use our tips above to make sure you website loads fast.

How can I add a date to the description field while sending a recurring invoice?

To do this, simply go to the item field, and start introducing the necessary placeholders in the ‘Item details’ section. Days are represented with %(d)%, %(day)%, or %(DAY)%, * Months are represented with %(m)%, %(month)%, %(MONTH)% (to depict the month as a word eg: January) or %(mm)% (to depict the month as a number eg: 1) Years are represented with %(y)%, %(year)% or %(YEAR)%, Note : You can also combine all three date components under a single placeholder too (Eg: %(d)(m)(y)% is a valid command). 2) Mentioning Time frames : Frame your start and end dates in any format using the above variations. The format used to represent days, months and years can be different Eg: %(d)%,%(M)%,%(Year)% is a valid format even though days are represented with in small letters, months with capitals and years are represented with the word ‘Year’.).

Eg: %(d+15)%,%(m+3)%,%(y)% results in 15 days and 3 months being added. Note : The placeholders functions are very context specific, so please take care with the way they’re used. Example : To add one month, use ‘%m+1%’ rather than ‘%d+30%’ since the latter would see your date jump from March 1’st to March 31’st (an addition of 30 days) and not April 1’st like required. 4) Delimiters are used in between the date components. The valid delimiters are the comma(,), the hyphen(-), the dot(.) and white space. If none of these delimiters are specified, space is taken as the default delimiter. Three different delimiters can be used while mentioning a date, but not more than one should be used between a pair of date components Example :- ’%(d)% , %(m)% – %(y)%’ (Two different delimiters comma and hyphen used between the components) – Valid scenario. ’%(d)% ,,%(m)% – %(y)%’ (Delimiters used twice between a pair of date components) – Invalid scenario.
