Overdraft
Business overdraft — pay interest only on what you use.
An OD is the right structure for cash-cycle swings, seasonal businesses, and any operating-capital need that is not a one-time spend.
Where OD beats a term loan
- Working-capital swings — receivables, inventory cycles
- Seasonality — festive, harvest, project-based
- Buffer for tax and statutory dues
- Supplier pre-payment opportunities
- Bridge between disbursal milestones
- Tender / LBG margin money float
Variants
Secured OD
Against property, FD or business assets. Lower rate, larger limit.
Unsecured OD
Cash-flow based — typical limits up to ₹50 L from NBFCs.
Drop-line OD
Sanctioned limit reduces every quarter — useful for capex bridge.

FAQ
Common questions
How is an OD different from a term loan?+
An OD is a revolving limit — you draw what you need, when you need it, and pay interest only on the utilized amount. A term loan is a one-time disbursal with a fixed EMI. OD suits working-capital swings; term loans suit one-time capex.
What's the typical unsecured OD limit I can get?+
Most NBFCs offer unsecured business OD up to ₹50 L based on banking strength and GST turnover. Banks go higher (₹1–2 Cr) but usually require an existing relationship. Secured OD against property or FD can stretch to ₹5 Cr+.
What is a drop-line OD and when should I use one?+
In a drop-line OD, the sanctioned limit reduces every quarter by a fixed amount. It's ideal when you're using the OD as a capex bridge — you want the discipline of a forced paydown without locking into a term loan EMI from day one.
