Anyone Have Overdraft from a Savings Account?

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.
