Solution

Loan: The bank sanctions a lump sum advance credited to the account of the borrower in one go. The interest is charged on the amount he has borrowed.
Overdraft: Overdraft allows the customer to draw cheques in excess of the balance standing in his current account. The interest is charged only on the amount over drawn.
