An Unsecured Overdraft (OD) Facility is a pre-approved credit line linked to your salary account.
It works as a financial safety net—allowing you to withdraw funds even when your account balance is zero, up to a sanctioned limit.

Unlike a Personal Loan, interest is charged only on the amount you use and for the number of days you use it, making it ideal for short-term cash needs.

How an Overdraft Facility Works

Sanctioned Limit:

The bank assigns a limit (e.g., ₹1–5 Lakhs or more) based on your monthly salary and credit profile.

Usage Flexibility:

You can withdraw cash, transfer funds, or issue cheques within the approved limit.

Interest Calculation:

Interest is charged only on the utilized amount and only for the number of days used.

Repayment Structure:

No fixed EMI
Interest must be paid monthly
Principal can be repaid anytime when salary is credited

Hidden Costs & Important Risks

Annual Renewal Fee:
OD facilities may charge ₹1,000 – ₹2,000 yearly to keep the limit active.

Higher Interest Rates:
OD interest rates are usually 2%–4% higher than personal loans.

Compound Interest Risk:
Unpaid monthly interest gets added to principal, increasing borrowing cost.

Recall Risk:
Banks can withdraw or reduce the OD limit if salary credits stop or credit score drops.

When Should You Choose an Overdraft?

YES, choose OD if:

  • You face short-term cash shortages (5–10 days)

  • You want EMI bounce protection

  • You need flexible borrowing and repayment

NO, avoid OD if:

  • You need funds for long-term usage (1–3 years)
  • You prefer lower interest with fixed EMI (Personal Loan is better)
