What is CMA data?

CMA data is a structured financial format banks may use to review past performance, projected operations, working-capital requirement and repayment capacity.

Can startups prepare projections?

Yes, but assumptions should be documented and supported by business model, orders, market logic, capacity and promoter inputs.

Can GST and ITR records affect loan files?
