By means of the case control design, we can not find the actual incidence of disease as we are commencing the study with already existing disease in cases and the question of incidence doesn’t arise.

Hence the Relative risk (RR), the derivative of incidence, (the ratio between the incidence among exposed and the incidence among non-exposed) also cannot be obtained.
