Overdraft

Definition

An Overdraft is a banking facility that allows you to withdraw more money from your bank account than the available balance. It works like short-term credit offered by a bank.

How It Works

Once a bank approves an overdraft limit, you can use extra funds whenever needed. Interest is charged only on the amount used, not on the full limit.

Key Features

  • Helps manage urgent expenses
  • Flexible repayment
  • Bank decides limit based on account history
