Dropline Overdraft Kya Hai?

Dropline Overdraft (DLOD) ek loan facility hai jisme bank aapko ek overdraft limit deta hai jo time ke saath gradually reduce hoti rehti hai (dropline).

 Simple language mein:

Bank aapko ek limit deta hai (jaise ?50 lakh)

Aap jitna use karte ho, utne par hi interest lagta hai

Principal limit har mahine/quarter reduce hoti hai

 Yeh mostly Home Loan OD ke form mein diya jata hai.

Dropline OD Kaise Kaam Karta Hai?

Example:

Sanction Limit: ?50 lakh

Tenure: 20 saal

Har mahine limit thodi-thodi kam hoti hai

???? Agar aap sirf ?30 lakh use karte ho:

Interest sirf ?30 lakh par lagega

Baaki ?20 lakh par koi interest nahi

???? Agar aap extra paisa deposit kar dete ho:

Outstanding kam ho jayega

Interest aur kam ho jayega
