26 September 2014 drawing power is the maximum amount of working capital loan that the borrower can draw from the bank

the computation depends on the conditions prescribed by the lender in the sanction letter.

For eg: the bank say it will cover only 3 months debtors at 25% margin.

The borrower has Rs 200 debtors but only 150 are 3 months old with remaining Rs 50 o/s for more than 3 months.

So DP will be calculated at 75% of Rs 150 = Rs 112.5
