Bill Discounting (Invoice Discounting)

Bill Discounting is short-term finance for traders wherein they can sell unpaid invoices, due on a future date, to financial institutions in lieu of a commission. The Bank purchases the bill (Promissory Note) before its due date and credits the bill’s value after a discount charge to the customer’s account. The Bank will realise the bill amount on the bill’s due date directly from the debtor. This helps the traders optimise their cash flows and business (payment) cycles without disturbing their balance sheets. Lenders usually offer tenors of up to 180 days while offering bill discounting facilities.

Example:

Let’s assume, a business owner sells goods to Mr. X worth Rs. 20,000 on credit but Mr. X agrees to pay after two months of purchase. However, the business owner is in urgent need of funds and can’t wait for two months. Therefore, a business owner can discount the bill with the bank for two months before its due date. For example, if the same trader discounts his bill(s) with a bank offering a discount rate of 12% p.a., then he would receive Rs. 19,600 after paying a commission of Rs. 400 to the bank.

Bill Discounting Process

Below described are the steps involved in the process of Bill Discounting:

  • MSMEs, as well as supply chain finance entities, raise invoices against larger corporates for the goods supplied or services offered
  • To monetise their unpaid bills, enterprises can bring their invoices for invoice discounting to lenders
  • Within a few working days, the submitted invoices are converted into cash and transferred to MSMEs at discounted rates

Factors affecting the Discount Rates

The discount rates offered by lenders on bill discounting shall depend on various factors, such as financial history, business tenure, business stability, business volume, your CIBIL score, and creditworthiness.
