Overdraft is a special facility provided to special and valuable customers. It is a facility wherein the customer can spend more than what is in his/her account. The customer can usually spend until a higher threshold set on his/her account.
Ex: Lets say you have Rs. 25000/- on your account and the bank has given you an overdraft facility of Rs. 10000/-
Then you can spend upto Rs. 35000/- from your account.
This extra 10000 that is available to you is called overdraft.
The bank would usually charge you a fee and interest for providing this facility.

What is the difference between overdraft and cash credit?
The difference is very subtle and relates to the operation of the account. In the case of Cash Credit, a proper limit is sanctioned which normally is a certain percentage of the value of the commodities/debts pledged by the account holder with the Bank. Overdraft, on the other hand, is allowed against a host of other securities including financial instruments like shares, units of mutual funds, surrender value of LIC policy and debentures etc. Some overdrafts are even granted against the perceived "worth" of an individual. Such overdrafts are called clean overdrafts.
