If only the minimum amount due (as defined above) is paid, the standard credit card interest rates will be levied on the balance outstanding.

• Other outstanding balances = `2,000
• Total payment due for the month = `3,000
• Minimum payment due = (5% x `2,000) + `1,000 = `1,100 Scenario I:
• Amount paid = `1,200
• Amount outstanding = Total payment due – Amount paid= `1,800 Finance charges at the applicable rate will apply on `1,800 in the next billing cycle.
Scenario II:
• Amount paid = `3,000
• Amount rolled over = 0 No finance charges will apply.

Also note that the Cash-on-EMI instalments will be treated as purchase outstanding for the purpose of payment apportionment. EMI payable towards Cash-on-EMI will be set-off first before any payment is apportioned towards other outstanding. Please note, in case the amount paid does not clear the EMI amount (partly or fully), the remaining EMI amount will be added in the next month’s minimum amount due along with the standard interest charged on the said amount.
