Frequently Asked Questions

To open a Cash Credit Account with your bank, you typically need to approach your bank branch and submit an application with required documents such as business financial statements, income tax returns, business plans, and KYC documents. The bank will assess your creditworthiness based on these documents and business operations. If approved, you will be granted a cash credit limit against which you can withdraw funds like an Overdraft facility.

Cash Credit Services are revolving credit facilities banks provide to businesses to meet short-term working capital needs. Unlike traditional loans, where a lump sum is disbursed upfront, Cash Credit allows businesses to withdraw funds up to a pre-approved limit as per their requirement. Interest is charged only on the amount withdrawn, offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Businesses can repay and reuse the credit limit as needed, making it suitable for managing fluctuating cash flows and operational expenses.

Banks determine the credit limit for Cash Credit Services based on the borrower's financial statements, income tax returns, business performance, credit history, and collateral offered. Factors such as repayment ability, business stability, and market conditions also influence the credit limit decision.
