    What Is CMA Data and Why Do Banks Ask for It?

    CMA data (Credit Monitoring Arrangement data) is the standard financial package that Indian banks use to appraise working capital limits such as cash credit and overdraft, and term loans. It sets out the borrower's audited results for past years, an estimate for the current year and projections for the coming years, all in a fixed layout, so the bank can judge whether the business can carry the loan.

    The format grew out of the Tandon Committee and Chore Committee recommendations. RBI no longer prescribes it as mandatory, but most banks still ask for CMA data with every new, enhanced or renewed credit facility. A clean, internally consistent CMA report speeds up sanction considerably.

    The forms in a CMA report

    📋

    Form I · Particulars

    Existing and proposed limits, and details of the borrower and associate concerns. Usually a bank-specific sheet, so it is not generated here.

    📈

    Form II · Operating statement

    Sales, cost of production, cost of sales, SG&A, interest, profit before and after tax, and retained profit.

    ⚖️

    Form III · Balance sheet analysis

    Current and term liabilities, net worth, current assets, fixed and non-current assets, regrouped the way banks read them.

    🔄

    Form IV · Current assets & liabilities

    Inventory, receivables and creditors with their holding periods in months, which feed the working capital assessment.

    🏦

    Form V · MPBF

    Maximum permissible bank finance by the second method of lending, the first method and the turnover method.

    💧

    Form VI · Funds flow

    Long-term sources and uses of funds, the change in working capital gap and how bank borrowing moves.

    How to prepare CMA data with this tool

    How MPBF is calculated

    Working capital gap (WCG) = total current assets – current liabilities other than bank borrowings. Under the second method of lending, which most banks use, at least 25% of total current assets (excluding export receivables) must come from long-term funds, so MPBF is the lower of WCG minus that minimum margin, or WCG minus the actual net working capital. For MSE borrowers with limits up to ₹5 crore, the turnover method (Nayak Committee) sets the working capital requirement at 25% of projected turnover, of which at least 5% comes from the promoter and 20% from the bank.

    FAQs

    CMA Data Generator: Common Questions

    What is CMA data? ▾
    CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data is a standard set of financial statements that banks in India use to assess working capital and term loan proposals. It contains past audited figures, the current year's estimate and future projections of the operating statement and balance sheet, along with the derived MPBF, funds flow and ratios.
    Is this CMA data generator free? ▾
    Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up and has no limit on use. You can download the full CMA report as an Excel file or print it as a PDF.
    Is my financial data uploaded to a server? ▾
    No. All calculations run inside your browser. The figures are saved only on your own device (in the browser's local storage) so you can continue later. Use "Save draft" to keep a copy as a file. Nothing is sent to AskBanker.in.
    How does the auto-generate option work? ▾
    You enter the last audited year's figures plus assumptions for growth, cost ratios, holding periods, capital expenditure and loans. Each year, sales grow at your rate, costs follow your ratios, stocks, debtors and creditors follow your holding periods, depreciation is charged on the opening net block plus half of the new capex, and term loans follow their repayment schedule. If you enter a proposed CC limit it is shown as fully drawn; if you leave it blank, bank borrowing equals the funding gap. Cash is the final balancing figure. Every generated figure can be edited afterwards.
    Which MPBF methods does the tool calculate? ▾
    The second method of lending (Tandon Method II, with 25% of current assets funded long-term), the first method (25% of the working capital gap) and the turnover method for MSE limits up to ₹5 crore (20% of projected turnover as bank finance, with a 5% margin).
    How is DSCR calculated here? ▾
    DSCR = (PAT + depreciation + interest on term loans) ÷ (interest on term loans + term loan repayment during the year). A year's repayment is taken as the instalments shown as due within one year in the previous year's balance sheet. The average DSCR is the total cash available divided by the total debt service across the estimated and projected years.
    Can I submit this CMA report to my bank? ▾
    The report follows the standard CMA structure used by Indian banks, but each bank may have its own format and benchmarks. Treat it as a well-organised working draft, have the figures checked by your chartered accountant, and present it in the format your bank asks for.
