Let me tell you that an overdraft is a kind of loan. Due to this, customers can withdraw more money from their bank account than the existing balance. This extra money has to be repaid within a certain period of time and it also attracts interest. Interest is calculated on a daily basis. Overdraft facility can be given by any bank or non-banking financial company (NBFC). Banks or NBFCs decide what will be the limit of overdraft you get.
Government and private banks offer overdraft facilities. Most banks offer this facility on Current Account, Salary Account and Fixed Deposit (FD). Some banks also offer overdrafts in exchange for assets such as shares, bonds and insurance policies. Under this facility, you can take the money you need from the bank and later pay this money.
