    • 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:
        Transaction
        Description Amount
        Purchase on 15th Jan 2020
        5000
        Total Amount Due on Statement Dated 20th Jan 2020
        5000
        Minimum amount due on Statement Dated 20th Jan 2020
        5000
        Payment Due Date 13th Feb 2020
        Payment Made on 20th Feb 2020
        6000
        Interest Calculations @24% PA
        1. Interest on ₹5000 for 30 Days(15th Jan -13th Feb
        98.63
        1. Interest on ₹5000 for 7 Days(14th -20th Feb 2020
        23.01
        Total Interest Charged
        ₹121.64

        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 calculated by deducting the utilized limit from the total credit limit.In case the holder of the Card (“Card Holder”) has availed of any loan within the credit limit on the Card, the outstanding loan amount will also be deducted from the Total Credit Limit to arrive at the available credit limit.
  4. BILLING

      Auto Debit: If customer has registered for auto debit facility towards Card repayment and has selected Minimum Amount Due option then the same will be executed on the due date provided no amount is paid by the customer before due date.If customer has paid an amount less than Minimum Amount Due before due date then differential amount would be debited.If customer has paid an amount which is equal to or more than Minimum Amount Due before due date then no additional amount will be debited from customer’s liability account.

      No merchant refund/cashback/credit due to transactions converted to EMI / cancelled transactions / reversals / promotional cashback will be considered as a payment towards the outstanding of the Card.EMI transactions and cash transactions will not be eligible for Reward Points.Once a transaction has been converted into EMI, it will not be eligible for reward points even if it is reversed/written off at a later date.In case Card Holder makes an excess payment compared to the outstanding of the Card, there will be credit balance in the Card account.This will be adjusted against the subsequent transactions on the Card.However no interest can be claimed on this excess credit amount.
