What is the CC Limit?
The CC limit, or Cash Credit limit, refers to the borrowing limit set for a company's Cash Credit account, which dictates the maximum amount of funds a company can withdraw.
Understanding the Cash Credit (CC) Limit
A Cash Credit (CC) is a pivotal short-term source of financing that a bank extends to a company. It functions as a short-term loan designed to provide businesses with flexible access to funds for their operational needs. A unique feature of a Cash Credit account is its ability to allow a company to withdraw money from the bank account even if it does not hold a credit balance.
The Role of the Borrowing Limit
The CC limit is precisely the borrowing limit associated with a Cash Credit account. Its primary role is to establish a ceiling on the amount of money a company can borrow or withdraw. This ensures that the financial exposure of both the company and the bank remains controlled within predefined parameters.
- Facilitates Withdrawals: The limit enables a company to access funds when needed, even without existing deposits, up to the maximum permitted amount.
- Manages Financial Exposure: It acts as a safeguard, ensuring that the company's short-term borrowing remains within an agreed-upon boundary, preventing excessive debt accumulation.
