Levy of Interest :
In case a cardholder makes partial payment or does not clear the total amount due within the payment due date, interest free credit period will be lost, and interest may be levied from the date of transaction on the daily outstanding amount (adjusted for payments / refunds / reversed transactions as and when credited) and not on the total amount due. Interest shall be charged from the date of transaction to the date of payment.
(Please note that monthly payments will be applied first towards clearing the old outstanding balances.)
Illustrative Example:
Scenario 1: If full payment of total outstanding is made every month before Payment Due Date No Interest will be charged
Scenario 2: If partial payment of total outstanding is made for the first time and hence cardholder choses to avail the revolving facility, then Interest to be levied as below
- Statement Cycle – 5th to 4th of every month
- Statement Generation Date – 4th of every month
- Interest Rate – 3.75% per month
Statement 1: 5th Jan to 4th Feb (Payment due date: 26th Feb)
Assuming all the outstanding till 4th Jan is paid in full and the cardholder is availing the part payment facility for the first time.
