USE OF THE CARD
FEES AND CHARGES
Please note that the entire Schedule of Fees and Charges (given below), benefits and features may change at any point of time at the discretion of SBM Bank without prior notice to customersCharges 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.
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:
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.
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.BILLING
Minimum Amount Payable: 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.
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.
