The basic work of a bank is to accept the surplus and / or investible money from public and lend the same to the needy persons known as Depositors and Borrowers respectively.
Introduction: Before globalization and liberalization or after that, the basic function of a Public Sector Lenders even today remains the same i.e., working capital finance. The working capital finance normally a short term running credit for a maximum period of one year.
This quantum of finance is assessed under various methods like Turnover Method, Flexible Bank Finance method etc. Whichever way we assess the quantum of finance, it basically depends upon two documents: The audited Balance Sheet and P&L account. The projected balance sheet is submitted to the bankers for the purpose of assessing the quantum of finance based on the balance sheet. It is interesting to note at this point that a full year’s need for working capital of a borrower is based on audited balance sheet which is the snapshot of the business concern as on a particular day. Whichever method we decide the quantum of finance one single element "The Margin" plays a crucial role in finalizing the working capital limits. This entire article is devoted to the clear and unambiguous understanding of the concept of margin.
