Dear Vinay just to add that Cash Credit is for working capital finance and which has a sanctioned limit but interest is charged on the basis of utilisation of fund on the basis of daily balance.There is no fixed period for repayment of Cash Credit. However in term loan the loan is for a fixed period and interest is charged on the loan amount and repayed by fixed instalment for a pre fixed period.

Current account: Non interest-bearing bank account which allows the account holder to write cheques against the funds in the account and also deposit cheques into the account.
A cash credit is an understanding on the part of the bank to advance to an individual such sums of money as he may from time to time require, not exceeding in the whole a certain definite amount; the individual to whom the credit is given entering into a bond, with securities, generally two in number(primary and collateral), for the repayment, on demand, of the sums actually advanced, with interest upon each issue from the day upon which it is made.
