Home Loan Overdraft Accounts (SBI Maxgain / HDFC Reach): How They Work
A Home Loan Overdraft (OD) facility is one of the most powerful financial instruments for borrowers with fluctuating surplus cash or business liquidity needs.
How Home Loan OD Works
Your mortgage is linked to a specialized current/savings account. Any surplus money you deposit into this account reduces the principal base used for daily interest calculations.
Key Benefits:
- Interest Savings: If your loan is ₹50 Lakh and you park ₹10 Lakh in your OD account, interest is calculated only on ₹40 Lakh.
- 100% Liquidity: Unlike traditional prepayment where funds are locked, you can withdraw your parked ₹10 Lakh anytime via ATM or net banking without penalty.
Ideal for business owners, consultants, and salaried individuals with variable quarterly bonuses.
