Cash Credit is a facility provided to finance working capital requirements, i.e. to finance Current Assets like Stock and Debtors. Term Loan is given against purchase of specified fixed assets - the repayment is usually in instalments and over a period of time e.g. quarterly payment for 3 years (12 instalments). Thus Cash Credit utilisation is a Current Liability while Term Loan is non-current. Both limits are separately sanctioned by banks.
