So, you need some cash, but your fixed deposit is like... chilling? Don't worry, ICICI's got your back (and your wallet)!
Let's face it, we all have those moments where life throws a curveball, and suddenly, your emergency fund starts looking less like a safety net and more like a cute little trampoline. But fear not, friend! If you've got a fixed deposit (FD) snuggled up in your ICICI Bank account, you can actually leverage it to get a loan, without breaking the FD itself!
Think of it as your FD taking a mini-vacation to help you out. ️ (Except, instead of Mai Tais, it's accruing interest. But hey, who says you can't celebrate getting your financial mojo back?)
