4. INTRODUCTION
Meaning of Loans and Advances
The term "loan" refers to the amount borrowed by one person from another.

bank. it is lending'.
Loan may be regarded as 'credit. granted where the money is disbursed and its
recovery is made on a later date.
It is a debt for the borrower. While granting loans, credit is given for a definite
purpose and for a predetermined period. Interest is charged on the loan agreed rate
and intervals of payment.
'Advance' on the other hand, is a 'credit facility' granted by the bank. Banks grant
advances largely for short-term purposes

(a)Loans and advances can be arranged from banks in keeping with the flexibility in
business operations. Traders may borrow money for day to day financial needs

amount raised as loan may be repaid within a short period to suit the convenience of
the borrower. Thus business may be run efficiently with borrowed funds from banks
for financing its working capital requirements.

and salaries of employees, and also the tax liability of business.

A Demand Loan is a loan which is repayable on demand by the bank. In other words
it is repayable at short-notice.
The entire amount of demand loan is disbursed at one time and the borrower has to
pay interest on it.

bank .
For example, if it is so agreed the amount of loan may be repaid in suitable
installments. Such loans are normally granted by banks against security.
The security may include materials or goods in stock, shares of companies or any
other asset.
Demand loans are raised normally for working capital purpose like purchase of raw
materials, making payment of short-term liabilities.
