Foundation for Cash Credit Operations
- A current account serves as the primary channel for operating cash credit facilities.
- The sanctioned cash credit limit is linked directly to the current account.
- All withdrawals, deposits, and repayments related to the credit facility flow through this account.
- It acts as a working capital bridge for day-to-day business expenses.
- Enables businesses to maintain liquidity without drawing on fixed capital.
Access to Credit Based on Business Need
- Businesses can withdraw funds up to the approved limit as and when required.
- There is no need to use the entire limit at once—interest is charged only on the utilized amount.
- The current account helps track usage and outstanding dues clearly.
- Repayments and deposits made into the account restore available credit instantly.
- It provides flexibility to manage inventory, payroll, and operational costs.
Monitoring and Control by Banks
- The bank monitors current account transactions to assess business performance.
- Consistent credit and debit activity supports trust and further credit assessment.
- Banks evaluate account behavior to revise limits or renew the cash credit facility.
- Misuse or irregularity in the current account may lead to suspension of the credit line.
- Timely interest servicing and limit discipline help maintain creditworthiness.
Collateral and Documentation Alignment
- The current account links with pledged inventory, receivables, or other collateral.
- Banks verify invoices, sales records, and stock statements tied to the credit limit.
- Disbursement and usage are aligned with the documentation flow.
- Ensures that the loan supports actual business needs and not unrelated expenditure.
- Offers transparency and accountability in working capital management.
Efficient Fund Utilization and Business Continuity
- Cash credit through the current account allows smooth day-to-day financial operations.
- Avoids delays in fund access during short-term cash flow shortages.
- Reduces dependency on emergency borrowing or high-interest loans.
- Ensures continuity of operations even during market or payment delays.
- Helps sustain growth and financial stability in competitive environments.
