Best Answer

Bank Overdraft is a facility wherein a bank customer can withdraw more money than what is actually available in his/her account. Let us say I have an overdraft account with ICICI Bank and have only Rs. 5000 in my account, I can withdraw even 15000 or 20000 from my account. I will have to repay this money that I took from them in future or else they will charge me an interest. The bank will also set an Overdraft limit which will define how much money over and above my bank balance I can withdraw.
