Rs.21 Cr
Working-capital takeover and enhancement
Cash credit and non-fund limits · HDFC Bank
- Situation
- Existing working-capital limits of Rs. 8 Cr with SBI had not kept pace with turnover. The promoter needed operating headroom without pledging further property.
- Credit question
- Can a lender enhance limits 2.6 times on the same business, and on what security?
- What Finansh did
- Rebuilt the working-capital assessment on current turnover and operating cycle, placed the proposal with HDFC Bank, and negotiated the enhancement with the existing collateral released rather than added to.
- Outcome
- Limits taken over and enhanced from Rs. 8 Cr to Rs. 21 Cr. Collateral released. Interest rate reduced by 2.90%. Disbursed 43 days from engagement.
- Turnaround
- 43 days from engagement to disbursement
- What it changed
- At full utilisation, 2.90% on Rs. 21 Cr is about Rs. 61 lakh of interest a year, and the released property is available for the next requirement.
