Maximize Operational Liquidity with Structured CC/OD Limits

Cash Credit (CC) and Overdraft (OD) facilities constitute the financial lifeline of any operating business. Unlike fixed term loans where interest is paid on the entire lump sum, a revolving CC/OD line charges interest purely on the amount drawn on a daily basis, making it the most cost-effective tool for managing payroll, vendor payments, and inventory holding cycles.

However, many businesses suffer from arbitrary Drawing Power (DP) cuts, sudden unrenewed limit penal charges, or inflated interest spreads. At SME CFO Services, our founding team of ex-senior bankers (CA Rochak Jain & Yogesh Patel) audits your stock statements, restructures debtor holding periods in CMA data, and negotiates optimal CC/OD parameters across 45+ institutional banks.

Ex-Banker Advisory: Protecting Your Drawing Power

Banks routinely reduce DP by disallowing debtors older than 90 days or unpaid trade creditors. Our former banking credit underwriters structure your supplier credit lines (via LC/Bill Discounting) and optimize aging classifications in CMA submissions, ensuring 100% drawing power availability round the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cash Credit (CC) is primarily sanctioned against the hypothecation of current assets (raw material, semi-finished goods, finished stock, and trade debtors/receivables) with Drawing Power (DP) calculated monthly. Overdraft (OD) is sanctioned either against immovable property mortgage (Clean OD / Drop-Line OD) or financial securities (Fixed Deposits, Mutual Funds, Shares), allowing withdrawal up to an agreed limit regardless of fluctuating inventory levels.

Drawing Power is calculated as: DP = (Eligible Paid Stock & Inventory + Eligible Debtors up to 90/120 days) minus Required Margin (typically 20% to 25% on stock and 30% to 40% on debtors) minus Creditors. SME CFO Services models your debtor aging and inventory valuation to prevent unnecessary DP shrinkage.

CC/OD interest rates range from 8.40% to 10.50% per annum linked to external benchmarks (EBLR / Repo-rate) or MCLR. Interest is charged strictly on the utilized amount on a daily reducing balance basis, rather than on the total sanctioned limit.

By switching your existing CC/OD limit from an expensive or inflexible lender to a competitive bank, we negotiate 50 to 150 basis points reduction in interest rates, enhance your sanctioned limit by 25% to 50% based on updated turnover, reduce collateral margin requirements, and waive loan takeover processing fees.

Yes. Under a Drop-Line OD, the sanctioned limit reduces systematically on a monthly or quarterly basis across a 5 to 10-year period, combining the flexibility of an overdraft with the disciplined principal amortization of a term loan.

We prepare bank-compliant CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, forecast quarterly operational holding ratios, rationalize drawing power, resolve non-moving inventory audit objections, and defend your enhancement proposal before bank credit sanctioning committees.
