Yes, you can get it. But in most of the cases, OD will attract interest. It is more like an unsecured loan. So check with your bank regarding the charges for OD. - In your case just the OD is pre-approved. they have not mentioned anything about the charges.

OD helps in cases where your balance drops below zero. Like in case of any standing instructions or cheque issues, if the balance is not there banks charge penalties and cheque bounces can lead to legal issues. OD will help you there. Some banks offer OD free of charge up to a limited duration, Check regarding that and...
It is nothing but CLEAN OVERDRAFT loan facility. Some banks also call this as PERSONAL LOAN. Unsecured. Higher interest rate, applied monthly. This is a planned Current/Loan Account which usually has only negative balances. This account may be an open account - which allows multiple debits/withdrawals - upto a limit. Or, a one-off account with only one main withdrawal debit n shall be closed after the red balance come into credit/black.

Savings Bank (or Savings Fund) account must have only Credit balances. Except under a few circumstances like :
a. Reversal of earlier credit entries.
b. Bank charges - ex. Locker charges...
c. Statutory n obligatory debits.
...... In such cases, the balance may go into red - rare occurances.
 
This feature is good for banks and Govt.
Fraud also more with this feature since cheques can be misused/encashed by any one even when the savings account balance is zero too.
They get fee for each transaction. Instead use your CC to bank option when needed.
 
Please read the fine print in the attachment to his post (# 25).

They will open new current account instantly in your name , after the page you posted above (sanctioned page ) redirect to NESL website to sign agreement by ADHAAR OTP and next page account got opened with overdraft facility based on your existing icici account, you need to visit nearest branch for net banking and mobile banking , if you want more clarification , don’t worry icici will call you because any online application left incomplete they will call you.

how can I close this account online? They are going to charge 1% of my sanctioned amount every year.

I thought it was totally free.

Or how can I stop it from being automatically renewed every year?

..

And how can I login to Instabiz ? It is asking me for the user name for which I have to visit the branch. When will they send the enquire card? After which, I can login with my enquire card details, right?

You cannot close account online ! You MUST visit for account closure , Not 1% may be higher on renewal or same 1% depends on the situation and your credit profile

🙂

how can I stop it from being automatically renewed every year?
simple! They will send you email or you will get a call for renewal, you can place the request to cancel the OD renewal

I already replied earlier post , YOU MUST VISIT branch along with your CHEQUE book ( it will reach you after completion of online OD opening) some time you may lucky to get GOOD customer executive and they can place request for netbanking ID and Inquiry card request try your best.

So to cancel the OD account renewal, do I have to visit the branch, or can I request to cancel the OD renewal request online? ( Email,call). I do not need the OD account.


Can they renew it without my permission?

Yesterday, I got the OD account number. When will I be charged the 1% fee? I cannot see the statement as I do not have the user ID yet. So when do I have to pay the joining fees to avoid any late payment interest charges?


Actually, as the nearest branch is too far away, I do not want to visit the branch.And even if I close it tomorrow, then I have to pay the 1% fees even if I do not use any amount, right?

So is there any trick to avoid the renewal without visiting the branch?

There is a new option in imobile to close an account online. But I am unable to link the new OD number with my savings account. I cannot see my account number in imobile.
