The CC limit and the LC limit are two different facilities given by the bank. CC limit is a funded facility which involves the flow of funds from the bank to the benefit of the borrower which is duly accounted for in the accounts and interest is payable on the agreed rate of interest.
On the other hand the LC limit is a non funded facility given by the banker. It is a sort of assurance given to the supplier of goods or services for making a payment. A note to that effect is given in the final accounts that a contingent liability is there to the extent of LC limit availed by the borrower. However, no accounting entry is passed till it is converted into an ascertained liability by invoking of the LC whereby the banker honors the LC and releases the payment.

The bank will charge LC service charges which may be recovered by debiting the other account like CA or CC maintained with the bank. These charges may be parked by the borrower under the head of Bank Charges in its accounts.
