Solution

b'The difference between cash credits and overdraft facility is as follow:

1. A Cash Credit (CC) is a short-term source of financing for a company which enables a company to withdraw money from a bank account without keeping a credit balance in it but only after providing the required security as collateral whereas Overdraft refers to a continuous withdrawing facility in which the bank allows the customer to withdraw amount more than what he holds to his credit, but only up to a certain extent.

2. For availing cash credit facility, the borrower must have a cash credit account with the bank or financial institution whereas to avail overdraft facility, the borrower must have a current account with the bank.

3. Cash credit facility is given against the pledge of inventory or other current assets or collateral security of the company whereas Overdraft facility is given against the security of fixed assets.

4. The Cash Credit is divided into two categories, i.e. Key Cash Credit and Open Cash Credit whereas the Overdraft is divided into two types, i.e. secured overdraft and clean overdraft.
