A bank account under financial inclusion scheme Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) can be opened in any bank branch or business correspondent outlet. PMJDY is a government-run financial inclusion scheme aimed at ensuring access to services such as banking, savings, deposits, remittance, credit, insurance and pension at an affordable price. Bank accounts under the Jan Dhan scheme can be opened with zero balance. In other words, the account holder need not maintain any particular account balance to keep the account account. The government recently doubled the overdraft limit on Jan Dhan accounts. The overdraft limit of Jan Dhan accounts now stands at Rs 10,000, double than the previous limit of Rs 5,000, according to an official statement released last week. 

Accounts-receivable financing is a type of asset-financing arrangement in which a company uses its receivables — outstanding invoices or money owed by customers — to receive financing.

when a business sells its AR (accounts receivable) to a factoring company and receives short-term business funding in return, this is what called as Accounts Receivable Financing.

How it works ::

Business-to-business sales are often offered with payment terms of 30, 60 or 90 days.

The buyer receives the product, but doesn't submit payment until the mutually agreed-upon date.

The seller records the sale as revenues and increases the accounts receivable by the amount of the sale.

When the payment arrives, the seller decreases the accounts receivable and increases cash.

Accounts receivable financing allows the seller to get the cash immediately by selling the receivable to a third party. This is called factoring.
