CMA data
What CMA data means, where you will meet it and what it means for your business.
DefinitionCMA data (Credit Monitoring Arrangement data) is the set of financial statements and projections, in a bank-prescribed format, that a business submits when applying for a working capital or term loan.
Banks assess loan applications through a standard set of schedules: past two or three years of audited results, the current year's estimate, and projections for the loan period, along with operating ratios, a funds flow statement and the working capital gap calculated by the bank's method. That package is CMA data. You meet it when applying for a cash credit limit, an overdraft, a term loan for equipment, or a CGTMSE-backed loan, and again at each annual renewal. What it means for you: the projections must be consistent with your GST returns, ITR and bank statements, and the ratios must sit within the bank's comfort range for current ratio, debt-equity and interest cover. Well-prepared CMA data shortens sanction time and supports a higher limit.
