Quick Liquidity Solution
An Overdraft (OD) facility is a temporary line of credit extended by a bank, allowing you to withdraw funds from your account even if the balance is zero, up to a pre-defined limit. This is a crucial tool for managing short-term funding gaps or emergency needs.
Whether it's a Salary Overdraft for personal needs or a Business Overdraft for managing working capital, this facility provides instant liquidity. The major advantage is that you only pay interest on the exact amount you utilize and for the duration you use it.

The OD facility is celebrated for its flexibility and cost-effectiveness when used as a stop-gap management tool.
You are only charged interest on the specific amount of the overdraft that you actually withdraw (utilize), not on the entire sanctioned limit.
The facility ensures you can make urgent, timely payments (e.g., vendor dues, taxes, salaries) even when your account balance is temporarily low.
Use and repay the utilized amount multiple times within the OD limit, offering continuous and immediate access to funds without re-applying.
Once the limit is sanctioned, accessing the funds requires less paperwork compared to traditional term loans, enabling faster disbursals.
Eligibility varies between personal (Salary OD) and business ODs, and is based primarily on your income, credit history, and relationship with the bank.
The limit is set primarily based on the business's working capital cycle and credit profile:
While an OD offers great financial freedom, it is primarily designed for short-term liquidity management and not long-term funding.
An OD facility typically comes with a higher cost than standard term loans. It should be utilized as a stop-gap arrangement or for emergency funding, rather than a routine source of working capital. High dependency on OD for long periods may indicate poor working capital management and liquidity stress.
