SBI Credit Cards Interest-Free Grace Period
The length of the interest-free credit period could be anything between 20 and 50 days, depending on the merchant's filing of claims. This means that no interest will be charged on your outstanding amount from the statement date to the next 20 to 50 days. This, however, does not apply if the prior month's amount was not fully paid off or if the cardholder used an ATM to withdraw cash.
SBI Credit Card Transactions That Attract Interest Charges
The interest charges on your SBI credit card won't be imposed if you pay the total amount due (TAD) before the deadline. Let's look at the situations where SBI credit card transactions are subject to finance charges.1. When a customer of an SBI credit card decides not to pay the entire amount owed by the due date
2. When an SBI credit cardholder decides to pay only the minimum amount due and carry over some of the remaining balance to the following billing cycle.
3. When a customer of an SBI credit card uses the cash advance option or makes a cash withdrawal
How is SBI Credit Card Interest Rate Calculated?
The SBI Credit Card interest rate is calculated on the outstanding amount as of the payment due date. Below is the formula to calculate the interest amount –
[(Total number of days overdue x transaction amount x 3.35% per month x 12 months) x number of days] ÷ 365 days
Here –
The total number of days overdue is – the number of days passed since the due date
3.35% - the monthly interest rate
Number of days – number of days in that month
