Two different credit situations where credit plays a positive and a negative role are as given below:
(i) Credit and a positive role: A traders obtains credit to meet the working capital needs of production.

Credit in this case pushes the borrower into a situation from which recovery is very painful. Thus, in one situation credit helps to increase earnings and person is better off than before. In the second situation credit pushes the person into a debt trap and he has to sell a part of his land.
