• Used amount: ₹5,000 for 30 days
• Interest rate: 10% per annum
• Interest payable: ₹5,000 × 10% × 30/365 = ₹41 approx.

✅ No Processing Fee for amounts up to ₹10,000

✅ No Fixed EMI - Flexible repayment

Repayment

How to Repay:

Method 2: Cash Deposit

Example Scenario:

• Bank automatically deduct karega: ₹8,000 (principal) + interest
• Remaining ₹4,000 (approx) aapke account me bachega
• Overdraft limit again ₹10,000 ho jayegi (use kar sakte ho)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Don't: Overdraft ko regular income samjho

❌ Don't: Luxury items ke liye use karo
