Frequently Asked Questions
What is credit card EMI?
Credit card EMI converts your large outstanding balance or purchase into fixed monthly installments at a lower interest rate than the standard revolving credit charge. Standard revolving credit charges 3-3.5% per month (36-42% annually), while EMI conversion reduces this to 13-18% annually.
What is No-Cost EMI?
No-Cost EMI appears to have 0% interest, but the discount you would normally get on the product is removed. The merchant pays the interest to the bank. Effectively you pay the full MRP in installments. Compare: MRP with discount vs EMI amount × tenure to find the real cost.
Should I convert credit card balance to EMI or take a personal loan?
Personal loans are almost always cheaper (10-14% vs 14-18% for CC EMI) if you have a good credit score. Take a personal loan to clear credit card dues and save on interest. However, CC EMI is easier and faster — no separate loan application needed.
