Cash Credit
Cash Credit is short term loan given by banks to companies to finance their requirements. It
is a short term loan and CC account has to be renew every year, it is granted on year to year
basis, it is not perpetual in nature. It is provide to fulfil day to day working expenses of a
company.
CC is given against the current assets of the company such as raw materials, work in
progress, finished goods, receivables etc. Withdrawal of money is not limited to balance in
company’s cash credit account but by a borrowing limit determined by the creditworthiness
of the company. A company can withdraw funds up to its established borrowing limit.
Bank assesses the company’s needs by credit appraisal system and limit is sanctioned which
is valid for 1 year. Company can withdraw amount from account as and when they want in
cash or in form of payment.
Credit limit is supposed to be equal to working capital requirement of a company less margin
funded by company itself. In Cash Credit Account Company has to give % margin amount to
bank for example, if borrowing limit for company is 50,00,000 and there is 20% margin by
bank then company has to give 20% of 50,00,000 that is 10,00,000 to the bank.
Interest is charged on amount utilized and not sanctioned. Interest payments made are tax-
deductible and, thus, reduce the overall tax burden on the company. It is repayable on
demand that is if the bank is not satisfied by company bank can ask for money back. When
value of assets coms down then, limit is also reduces which is called lowering of drawing
power. But even if value of goods goes up the limits stays same it won’t go above sanctioned
limit.

3. Merchant Exporters
A merchant exporter is a person who is involved in trading activity and exporting. They do
not have a manufacturing unit. They buy goods from a manufacturer-exporter and then ship
them to foreign customers.
Under GST, where a supplier is located in India, and the place of supply is outside India, it is
treated as an inter-state supply. Merchant exports are liable to GST and are compulsorily
required to obtain registration under GST.
There are two alternatives available:

 Make an export under bond/LUT, and then the unutilised input tax credit can be claimed
as a refund.
 Make an export by paying off IGST and then claim a refund of the same. But, this option
is only available if the exporter has not opted for the Special Relief Scheme of buying
goods at 0.1% GST.

4. Global territory Segmentation:
Pharmaceutical companies create a territory for each representative. They’re told where to go
and how often they should go. This is called Territory Alignment. This process is the most
effective way to cover the most territory and ensure that doctors are communicated. By doing
this, the territory alignment helps the pharmaceutical representatives see which doctors they
need to visit.
Geographic Segmentation:
 This is the most common type of Segmentation used in pharmaceutical companies

because it can reduce travel time and travel expenses.
 With this pharmaceutical representatives are assigned doctors based on where they are
geographical.

needed to be seen, alignment could be grouped by anything from region, state, country, or
postal code.
