Cash credit facilities fulfill the requirement of working capital which is needed to run daily operation in a business concern. It is similar to loan but different from conventional loan. In this system, Bank or Financial Institute maintain a Cash Credit Account for their borrower. Cash credit makes a provision for credit by transferring the sanctioned amount into Cash Credit Account from which borrower can withdraw as per their requirement. Borrower can withdraw money within sanctioned "limit" & "daily limit". Cash Credit Account almost similar to Current Account but it's not Current Account. In cash credit system, interest charged on amount actually withdrawn in daily basic. Borrower can't withdraw total sanctioned amount of loan at a time.
Bank or Cash Credit provider holds Stock or Book Debt (as security) against advance sanctioned. The security or guarantee remains accessible by advance provider (normally Bank) until Cash Credit repaid in full. Depending on the security holds, Cash Credit facility is two types i.e. Pledge (where Bank or Financial Institute holds physical control of stock & book debt.) & Hypothecation (borrower holds total control of stock and submits periodical statement of stock to the lender). Cash Credit-Hypothecation system is broadly used.
Cash credit amount is pre-approved and the repayment of loan is the same whether borrower is using cash credit or not. If cash credit amount is paid off before term of loan is complete, borrower is liable to pay penalty fee based on % of loan amount.
