BT and OD refer to
- BT (Balance Transfer): This involves transferring the outstanding loan amount from one bank to another, usually to take advantage of lower interest rates or better terms. For example, if a borrower finds a bank offering a lower interest rate on a loan, they may transfer their existing loan balance from their current bank to the new one, reducing their overall interest burden.
- OD (Overdraft): An overdraft facility allows customers to withdraw more than their available balance, typically up to a pre-approved limit. This is often used by businesses for short-term working capital needs. Interest is charged only on the amount used from the overdraft limit.
These options are often explored to manage cash flow or reduce loan-related costs, particularly in business finance. Here's a breakdown of common documents required for salaried and self-employed individuals when applying for a loan:
