** Illustration on Interest Free (grace) period
Interest- Free (Grace) Period: Interest free period is 30 days from statement end date with
grace period of 3 days.
Illustrative Example for the calculation of grace period: For a statement for the
period from Jan 20, 2020 to Feb 20, 2020 the payment due date would be 22nd
March 2020. Assuming that you have paid your Total Amount Due of the previous
month statement by the payment due date, the grace period would be: For a
purchase dated 25th Jan 2020, the interest-free grace period is from 25th Jan 2020
to 25nd Mar 2020 i.e. 57 days.
For a purchase dated 19th Feb 2020 the interest-free grace period is from 19th Feb
2020 to 25nd March 2020 i.e.63 days.
Thus, the grace period can vary depending upon the date of purchase. However, if the Total
Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date, then there will be no interest free period. For
cash advances, interest is charged from the date of the transaction until the date of payment.
Billing Statement: Your billing statement will be generated every month. It will contain a break-
up of all purchases, repayments, fees, interest charges, refunds and taxes. In case the card was
not used in a month, the statement will mention there were no spends in that month.
Mode of sending statement: The billing statement will be shared over email, on a monthly basis
to you, and will also be available on your app.
***Minimum Amount Due: Without prejudice to the liability of the Card Holder to immediately
pay all charges incurred, the Card Holder may exercise the option to pay only the minimum
amount due indicated in the statement (“Minimum Amount Due”) by the due date. The
Minimum Amount Due shall be 100% of the outstanding amount. In case of any repayment
through installments, the installment amount due during the statement period will be added to
the Minimum Amount Due. If the total outstanding is more than the credit or cash limit, then
the amount by which the credit or cash limit has been exceeded will also be included in the
Minimum Amount Due. Minimum Amount Due shall also include unpaid Minimum Amount Due
of the previous statements, if any. Interest will be charged if the Total Amount Due is not paid
by the payment due date even if the Minimum Amount Due has been paid.
Method of payment
You can pay the outstanding dues from the App itself, through the following modes:
Debit Card b) Netbanking c) UPI d) IMPS/NEFT.
Billing Disputes Resolution : In case of any query or a dispute on any transaction, you must
inform us within 30 days of receipt of the statement, by using any of the contact particulars
stated below. We will assist you by providing information in relation to charges to the card
account. A temporary suspension would be applied on the disputed transaction while under

ii. Finance Charges
The interest rate may vary dynamically based on the customer’s repayment
behavior and performance.
iii. Other Fees and Charges
Charges in foreign currency: If a transaction is made in a currency other than Indian
Rupees, that transaction will be converted into Indian Rupees.The conversion will
take place on the date the transaction is settled with SBM Bank, which may not be
the same date on which the transaction was made.If the transaction is not in US
Dollars, the conversion will be made through US Dollars, by converting the charged
amount into US Dollars and then by converting the US Dollar amount into Indian
Rupees.
Unless a specific rate is required by applicable law, the conversion rate from US Dollar to
Indian Rupees will be at the rates provided by VISA on such transactions.
iv.Finance Charges
a. Interest will be charged if the total amount due as specified in the monthly
statement (“Total Amount Due”) is not paid by the payment due date.Interest will
be charged on the Total Amount Due and on all new transactions ( from the
transaction date) till such time as the previous outstanding amounts are paid in
full.Also, interest will be levied on all cash advances from the date of the
transaction until the date of payment.
b. The rate of interest may be changed at the sole discretion of SBM Bank.
c. The following illustration will indicate the method of calculating interest charges:
In the ul given below, it has been assumed that the Total Amount Due of the
previous month statement has been paid by the payment due date and there is
no outstanding amount.The statement date is 20th of every month. Given these
assumptions, interest will be calculated as below:
GST will be applicable on interest charges.
Late Payment Charges (LPC): Late payment charges will be applicable if the Minimum
Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date.
Illustrative Example for Calculation of Late Payment Charges:
Payment of at least Minimum Amount Due i.e.Rs 5000 in the above example, is
required to be paid by the payment due date (13th Feb 2020), to ensure that no late
payment charges are levied.If minimum amount due is not paid, late payment
charges would be levied as per the below ul:
Total Amount Due
Rs.100 per instance
Thus, in the above example, since the minimum amount due of ₹5000 is not paid by
the payment due date of 13th Feb 2020 and since Total Amount Due was ₹5000, late
payment charges of 100 will be levied on 14th Feb, 2020. This charge will also be
applicable if you make a payment of less than the minimum amount due by the
payment due date.GST will be applicable on late payment charges.
v.Interest- Free (Grace) Period: Interest free period is 30 days from statement end date
with grace period of 3 days.
Illustrative Example for the calculation of grace period: For a statement for the
period from Jan 20, 2020 to Feb 20, 2020 the payment due date would be 22nd
March 2020. Assuming that you have paid your Total Amount Due of the previous
month statement by the payment due date, the grace period would be: For a
purchase dated 25th Jan 2020, the interest-free grace period is from 25th Jan 2020
to 25nd Mar 2020 i.e.57 days.
For a purchase dated 19th Feb 2020 the interest-free grace period is from 19th Feb
2020 to 25nd March 2020 i.e.63 days.
Thus, the grace period can vary depending upon the date of purchase.However, if
the Total Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date, then there will be no
interest free period.For cash advances, interest is charged from the date of the
transaction until the date of payment.
3. WITHDRAWAL LIMITS:
The credit limit and cash withdrawal limit are communicated at the time of delivery of
the Card and are also indicated in the monthly statements.Available credit limit is
