The Short Version

What Unsecured DOD actually does for you.

An overdraft without collateral where the limit reduces over the loan period. Use the money when your business needs it and repay when you can. You pay interest only on the amount you have used.

What's included

  • Draw and repay as often as needed
  • Interest charged only on the amount outstanding
  • The limit steps down over the tenure
  • No property or asset pledge required

Do you qualify?

  • At least 3 years of business operations
  • A healthy average balance across current accounts
  • No adverse remarks on existing credit facilities
  • Self-employed business owner or professional running a current account
  • A good credit record for the business and its owners; a CIBIL score of around 700 or above may help

Which One Are You

SalariedYou draw a fixed monthly salary from an employer, in a private company, a government job or a public-sector unit. Lenders mainly check your salary slips, Form 16 and the salary credits in your bank account, and how long you have been with your employer. A steady job and a regular record of salary credits usually make the process simpler.
Proprietor / ProfessionalYou run a business in your own name, or practise a profession such as medicine, law, accountancy or architecture. There is no separate company, so the lender looks at you and the business together: your ITRs, your financial statements and your business bank account. Clear books and returns filed on time help a lot.
Partnership / LLPThe business is a partnership firm or an LLP. The lender checks the firm's registration, its financials and its bank statements, and also the standing of each partner, so every partner's KYC and tax returns are usually needed. A signed partnership deed that allows borrowing keeps things smooth.
CompanyThe business is a private or public limited company. The lender checks the incorporation papers, the directors and the shareholding, the company's audited financials and its bank statements. A board resolution authorising the loan is usually needed, and directors may be asked to stand as guarantors.

Fees and other charges

Besides interest, a lender may charge a few fees. It helps to know them before you apply, so there are no surprises.

Processing fee

A percentage of the limit plus GST, often somewhere between about 0.5% and 1.5%. It is charged when the limit is sanctioned and again when it is renewed or enhanced.

Annual review or renewal fee

Working-capital limits are reviewed every year. Many lenders charge a renewal or review fee at that point.

Inspection, valuation and legal charges

Where the limit is backed by stock, receivables or property, the lender may charge for inspections, valuations or a legal check.

Penal charges

Going over the sanctioned limit, or not routing enough business through the account, can attract extra interest or charges. Each lender sets its own terms.
