Generally all the banks required 5 times turnover to OD limit i.e 20% of the turnover is maximum eligible for OD Loan.
And bank has the 25% margin(or depend on the stock/goods it would be high) margin means amount funded by us i.e 75% of the stock value(purchase value) by finances.
Let go for example.
Assume ABC Ltd is a company trading in X goods and it's annual turnover is Rs.25,00,000. and it holds stock of Rs.5,00,000 at any time. Assume banker's(i.e finance provider's) Margin is 25% i.e means finances only for 75%.
As per above explanation The ABC Ltd is eligible to get OD limit Maximum is Rs.5,00,000(20% of 25,00,000). If the turnover increases the eligible limit increases and vice-verse. it holds Rs.5,00,000 of stock at any time banker's margin is 25% thus Drawing power is Rs.3,75,000(75% of Rs.5,00,000). In case holding of stock increases the drawing power also increases but maximum upto OD limit and vice-verse. If the stock hold by the company is Rs.7,00,000 then it's drawing power would be Rs.5,00,000. Let i will explain you 75% of Rs.7,00,000 is Rs.5,25,000 but OD limit is Rs.5,00,000. So drawing power is maximum of OD Limit.
Are you clarified otherwise write your doubt i will explain you.
