A cash credit or overdraft is a running limit the bank reviews every year — unlike a term loan you simply repay. For limits of ₹5 crore and above, missing papers at renewal can shrink or stop the limit. This page is the renewal checklist.

A term loan is approved, paid out and repaid on a schedule. A cash credit or overdraft limit is different: it is a **running limit that the bank checks again every year and watches every month**. Each stock statement, each month's money deposited into your account, each overdrawing and each pending approval condition goes into the file the bank officer opens at renewal.

I used to decide working-capital renewals at a bank. A renewal often goes wrong not because the business is weak, but because twelve months of paperwork has drifted — and the renewal note has to record it. This service exists to stop that drift.

## What does this service cover?

| Area | What we do | Why the bank cares |
|---|---|---|
| **Annual renewal** | Build the renewal file — audited/provisional financials, CMA data, renewal application, stock and debtor details, compliance status — and track the due date | An expired or late renewal is a warning for the bank and, if it goes on, can make the bank call the loan a bad debt |
| **Money-forecast pack (CMA data)** | Prepare or review the past, estimated and projected years; reconcile with audited accounts and GST. Draft with the [CMA Data Maker](/tools/cma-preparer/) (Year 1 free) | Bank officers compare last year's plans with this year's actuals before they read anything else |
| **Monthly stock & book-debt statements** | Set up a format and routine that reconciles with your books; flag aged debtors and slow stock | Drawing power (how much you can draw this month) is calculated from these; stale or inconsistent statements reduce it |
| **Stock audit readiness** | Prepare records and reconciliations before the bank's stock auditor visits | Large differences between statements and audit findings damage credibility at renewal |
| **Meeting bank approval rules** | Track every rule before and after the money is paid out: insurance, charge registration, valuation and legal updates, undertakings, and money rules you agreed to follow with the bank | Pending conditions are listed in the renewal note and can delay or condition the renewal |
| **Enhancement planning** | Decide whether and when to ask for more; size the request on turnover, holding levels and margin | A well-timed, well-supported enhancement is easier than an emergency temporary-extra request |
| **Lender liaison** | Coordinate with the relationship manager and answer credit queries with you | Quick, complete replies keep the file moving through the credit hierarchy |

## How a bank officer reads your account between renewals

The renewal decision is not made in one meeting. It builds from what the bank sees through the year:

1. **Utilisation.** If you barely use the limit, the bank may cut it next year. If you always use it fully or go over, the bank may worry you need more or are stressed. Both get questions.
2. **Money deposited into your account.** If your yearly sales are ₹40 crore but only a small part passes through the cash-credit account, the bank concludes that sales are going elsewhere.
3. **Drawing power versus limit.** A limit that is never backed by full drawing power is effectively smaller than it looks — and may be reduced to match.
4. **Stock statement discipline.** Late submissions, statements that do not reconcile with the balance sheet, or debtors that never age all invite scrutiny.
5. **Irregularities.** Cheque returns, interest not paid on time and overdrawings beyond drawing power feed the bank's early-warning watch list.
6. **Sanction conditions.** Insurance lapses, unregistered charges or pending valuation reports are noted and carried into the renewal note.

## What do we need from you?

- Audited financials (or provisional, if the audit is pending) and the latest GST returns.
- The current sanction letter and any amendment letters.
- Monthly stock and book-debt statements for the past year and the bank's drawing-power workings, if available — build next month's pack with the [stock statement format for bank](/tools/stock-statement/) and check draw on the free [drawing power calculator](/tools/drawing-power/).
- Account statements of the CC/OD and any other bank accounts.
- The last stock audit report and any bank correspondence on pending conditions.

## Fees

Working capital is usually a case where the lender does not pay advisors, so you may pay us a fee. We tell you the amount in writing before we start. The fee depends on your limits, banks and the work needed. The bank alone decides renewal, increase, pricing and terms.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a working capital renewal?

Cash credit, overdraft and bank-promise limits are usually approved for twelve months. Before the limit ends the bank reviews it for the year: latest accounts, money-forecast plans (CMA), how the account behaved, stock statements, stock-check findings and whether approval conditions were met. Then it renews, raises, cuts or changes the limit.

### What happens if my cash-credit limit is not renewed on time?

Banks can extend an expired limit briefly while they finish the review, but delays create problems. Under RBI rules, if a running limit is not reviewed or renewed within 180 days of the due date, the account can be treated as a bad loan (non-performing asset). Long before that, a late renewal makes the account look poorly watched and can block drawals, higher limits or new loans.

### Why do banks reduce limits at renewal?

Common reasons: you barely used the limit (bank thinks it was too high), sales did not pass through the account, sales or profits came in below last year's plan, old unpaid bills or slow stock cut how much you can draw (drawing power), a bad stock-check report, or approval conditions still open. Most of these can be fixed before the renewal note is written.

### Do you prepare CMA data and stock statements?

Yes. As a Chartered Accountant with 20 years of experience with working-capital loans, CA Jitendraa Rathi prepares or reviews the assessment data (past, estimated and projected years) and sets up a monthly stock and unpaid-bills statement routine that matches your books, GST returns and audited accounts. Your statutory auditor continues to audit the accounts; we do not replace them.

### Can you help me increase my existing working capital limit?

Yes. Enhancement is planned around the renewal: we check whether utilisation, turnover growth, holding levels and margin support a higher limit, prepare the justification and CMA, and present it to the bank — or, if your current bank's appetite is limited, discuss a takeover by another lender.

### Will you deal with my bank on my behalf?

We work alongside you, not in place of you. With your authorisation we coordinate with the relationship manager and respond to credit queries on renewal papers, CMA and compliance points. The bank's decision remains with the bank; we cannot guarantee any renewal, enhancement or rate.
