Overdraft against FD
Hi all,
I hope it is ok to ask this here.
I have several FDs with hdfc bank and they are being used as protection against another account.
Let’s say I have 5 FD with 10 lakh each and I get 45 lakh overdraft against these FDs (90% of FD amount)
I have used all 45 lakh and the overdraft is -45 lakh.
The old FDs were created at 6% interest and I want to break one FD and recreate it with 7.4% available today. I deposit 10 lakh to my overfdraft account and then balance in my overdraft account becomes -35 lakh.
Now I should be able to remove the FD from my overdraft account.
But HDFC is not allowing me to break it with reason
” OD facility can‘t be removed due to insufficient funds. Please contact branch“
I am an NRI and currently don’t have plans to visit India recently.
Does anyone know about it or faced similar situation? Thanks!
