What is cash credit loan?
A cash credit loan is a type of short-term financing that allows businesses to withdraw funds from their bank account even if the balance is zero. The bank sets a credit limit based on the borrower’s financial health and creditworthiness. Businesses can utilise the loan for working capital needs like inventory purchase or day-to-day operations. Interest is charged only on the amount utilised, and the facility typically has a one-year tenure, which can be renewed.
