OVERVIEW CREDIT MANAGEMENT:::
Credit plays an important role in driving the national economy. It provides leverage to an entrepreneur to
undertake a project larger than what he could have undertaken without availability of credit. This results in
accelerated industrial production/services. It also enables individuals to first purchase/create assets and
repay the loan from their future earnings. Credit enables a consumer to spend more than what he would
have otherwise spent. The increased demand drives the producers to step up the production. Thus,
adequate and cheap availability of credit propels the economy to higher growth trajectory. But, there is
always a time lag between increase in demand and creation of supply to meet that demand. That is why
excessive availability of credit, specially, for non-productive purposes, puts inflationary pressure of the
economy.
Principles of Credit: (a) safety of funds (b) purpose (c) profitability (d) liquidity (e) security (f) risk spread
Types of Borrowers: A borrower can be (a) An individual (b) Sole proprietary firm (c) Partnership firm and
joint ventures (d) Hindu undivided family (e) Companies (f) Statutory corporations (g) Trusts and co-operative
