Home loan overdraft facility is good option, if you are very much sure that you will be able to save some extra money every month after paying the regular EMI. It will help in reducing the loan amount along with tenure. Under this facility, you can deposit any surplus money that you have into the home loan account, though you have the option to withdraw the money if required,is the biggest advantage. By depositing the money higher than the EMI will help in saving on total interest outgo in long run.

Points to consider:

• Upto 25 basis points higher rate of interest
• Regular transactions are necessary for higher benefits
