Cash transactions always accrues interest versus retail purchases where interest accrual depends on the payment of 100% balance payment in full by payment due date.

Currently interest is also charged on all fees and interest levied by the Bank. Example for Interest Computation

Assume that you have paid all previous dues in full and do not have any amount outstanding in your credit card account. You have purchased household goods for Rs 25,000 on 12th June and withdrawn cash from ATM for Rs 5,000 on 15th June. Your monthly statement is on 20th of every month. On 20th June, you would be levied interest on Rs 5,000 cash withdrawal for 6 days @ 2.95% per month i.e., 5000* 6 days* 2.95%*12 months/360 days = Rs 29.50. Your due date for 20th June statement is 10th July and you pay Rs 5,000 on 10th July and you also make a fresh purchase of Rs 10,000 on 11th July, interest to be levied on 20th July would be as under:

Interest on Rs 25,000 @ 2.95% per month for 12th June to 20th July (39 days) Rs. 958.75
Interest on Rs 5,000 @ 2.95% per month for 21st June to 10th July (20 days) Rs. 98.33
Interest on Rs 10,000 @ 2.95% per month for 11th July to 20th July (10 days) Rs. 98.33
Interest on Rs. 33.15 (Interest + Service Tax levied in last statement) @ 2.95% p.m. from 20th June to 20th July (31 Days) Rs. 1.01
Total interest charged on 20th July Rs. 1156.42

Actual interest calculation would vary based on the individual purchase and revolve behaviour. Late Payment Fee Calculation

Late Payment Fee is charged to the cardmember if there has been no payment or a payment less than the Minimum Amount Due is received by the payment due date. Late Payment Fee is charged at the rate of 30% of Minimum Amount Due, subject to a minimum of Rs 250.00 and a maximum of Rs 500.00.
Example: The minimum payment due (MAD) is Rs 3,400.00 Statement date is 15/11/2006 Payment due date is 04/12/2006 In the above case if the customer does not make a minimum payment of Rs 3,400.00 by the payment due date ie, 04/12/2006, a Late Payment Fee of Rs 500 will be levied on 09/12/2006. This is worked out as per the following logic: 30% of current due is Rs 1,020.00 Minimum Late Fee charge is Rs 250.00 Maximum Late Fee charge is Rs 500.00.
