Interest Calculation Methodology on EMI products |
|
Interest rates as communicated at the time of availing of the product(s) shall be levied/ applicable. |
The initial interest amount shall be computed from the conversion date to the immediate billing date for the Credit Card. For all installments billed subsequently, the interest shall be computed on monthly rests and the installments shall be debited to the Credit Card on the date of each monthly bill. |
The initial interest amount shall be computed on the loan amount and the interest component of the Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is calculated only on the unpaid balance of your loan as illustrated below: |
|
Calculation of Initial Interest Amount: |
|
Loan Amount x ROI% x (number of days applicable/365 or 366 days) Where 'number of days applicable' will be actual days from the loan booking/conversion date to the first billing date of the Credit Card for the initial interest amount |
[ROI = Rate of Interest as communicated at the time of availing of the product] |
As a result of the computation above, it is possible that the initial interest may be different from that communicated to you at the time of loan booking, depending on the loan activation date. |
|
Illustrative example for computation of Initial interest amount: |
|
For loan amount of Rs 1,00,000 with date of conversion as 1st March at a rate of interest of 24% against a tenure of 24 months, with first billing date falling on 25th March, |
Initial interest amount will be =1,00,000 *24%*24/365 = Rs 1578 |
This will be billed as part of the Minimum amount due in the statement dated 25th March |
|
Calculation of Interest component of EMI: |
|
Outstanding Loan Principal * ROI% * 1/12 |
[ROI = Rate of Interest as communicated at the time of availing of the product] |
Citi reserves the right to modify all interest from time to time, at its sole discretion with prior notice or in the event of any changes in the interest rate made by the Reserve Bank of India |
|
Other Charges |
|
A one-time transaction fee as mentioned below shall be charged for every Dial/Click an EMI product facility. This amount shall be billed to the monthly card statement on the date when the Dial/Click an EMI product is deemed to be availed as mentioned herein above and will be included as a part of the minimum amount due in the month of initial interest amount billing. |

However, if you pay (or had paid) an amount that is:

If the minimum amount due is unpaid, Charges shall be levied on such outstanding (including but not limited to the initial interest amount or EMI as above), as communicated in the Credit Card Most Important Terms & Conditions (MITC). |
|
The Credit Limit on the Credit Card shall be blocked to the extent of the purchase transaction amount. The Credit Limit will be released as and when the EMI is billed and paid for in subsequent months. |
|
A maximum of ten concurrent transactions are permitted to be converted into Click/ Dial-an-EMI, on each Primary Credit Card, at any point of time. |
|
Interest Calculation Methodology on EMI products |
|
Interest rates as communicated at the time of availing of the product(s) shall be levied/ applicable. |
The initial interest amount shall be computed from the conversion date to the immediate billing date for the Credit Card. For all installments billed subsequently, the interest shall be computed on monthly rests and the installments shall be debited to the Credit Card on the date of each monthly bill. |
The initial interest amount shall be computed on the loan amount and the interest component of the Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is calculated only on the unpaid balance of your loan as illustrated below: |
|
Calculation of Initial Interest Amount: |
|
Loan Amount x ROI% x (number of days applicable/360days) Where 'number of days applicable' will be actual days from the loan booking/conversion date to the first billing date of the Credit Card for the initial interest amount |
[ROI = Rate of Interest as communicated at the time of availing of the product] |
As a result of the computation above, it is possible that the initial interest may be different from that communicated to you at the time of loan booking, depending on the loan activation date. |
|
Illustrative example for computation of Initial interest amount: |
|
For loan amount of Rs 1,00,000 with date of conversion as 1st March at a rate of interest of 24% against a tenure of 24 months, with first billing date falling on 25th March, |
Initial interest amount will be =1,00,000 *24%*24/360 = Rs 1600 |
This will be billed as part of the Minimum amount due in the statement dated 25th March |
|
Calculation of Interest component of EMI: |
|
Outstanding Loan Principal x ROI% x (constant for 30 days / 360 days) |
[ROI = Rate of Interest as communicated at the time of availing of the product] |
The Bank reserves the right to modify all interest from time to time, at its sole discretion with prior notice or in the event of any changes in the interest rate made by the Reserve Bank of India |
|
Other Charges |
|
A one-time transaction fee as mentioned below shall be charged for every Dial/Click an EMI product facility. This amount shall be billed to the monthly card statement on the date when the Dial/Click an EMI product is deemed to be availed as mentioned herein above and will be included as a part of the minimum amount due in the month of initial interest amount billing. |
|

[ROI = Rate of Interest as communicated at the time of availing of the product] |
As a result of the computation above, it is possible that the first EMI may be for an amount lesser than the standard EMI amount communicated to you. |
