Process of Invoice Discounting

  • Seller sells the goods/products on credit to buyer
  • Seller raises the invoice for the sold goods with the buyer
  • Buyer further accepts the invoice sent by seller and acknowledges paying the amount on the due date
  • Seller reaches for a bank or financing company to further discount the invoices
  • Bank guarantees itself of the legality of the invoices and buyer’s creditworthiness
  • Bank disburses the fund to the seller after deducting appropriate interest, margin, discount and fee
  • Seller gets the funds and further uses it for his/her business

For Example: You have sold goods to Mr. Singh, Mr. Singh has given you letter of credit from ABC bank of 30 days, if you want to get money from ABC bank before 30 days, the bank will charge some interest rate from you, which in return will be called as discount for the seller.

Now let’s assume, if the amount which you were supposed to get was Rs. 1 lakh on or after 30 days, by ABC bank’s discount or interest rate of Rs. 50,000, you now get Rs. 95,000 in return form the bank. The buyer will anyhow deposit Rs. 1 lakh to the respective bank on 30th day only.
