  • Q12. How is interest calculation done when customer opts for Flexipay ?

  • Interest chargeable in first EMI is basis a 30-day period. W.e.f. 1st July 2024 , if the period between booking confirmation date and Payment Due Date is less than 30 days, excess interest levied will be credited back. If the period is more than 30 days, remaining interest (chargeable beyond 30 days) will be debited in subsequent statement(s).

    Cardholders will be credited a portion of the computed interest amount if the credit period is lesser than the period for which interest has been charged in the first EMI i.e. the period between the cash disbursement date and the Payment Due Date of first EMI is less than 30 days

    Calculation for crediting back excess interest:

    Interest charged in first EMI – {(1st EMI Interest Amount ÷ 30 Days) X (Period between booking confirmation date & Payment Due Date)}

    Example: Interest charged in first EMI (for a 30-day period) = Rs. 900 Period between the booking confirmation date and Payment Due Date = 22 days

    Then the amount that will be credited back to the cardholder's account in the subsequent statement(s) will be:900 - {(900 ÷ 30) X (22)} = Rs. 240

    Cardholders will be debited a portion of the computed interest amount if the credit period is more than the period for which interest has been charged in the first EMI i.e. the period between booking confirmation date and the Payment Due Date of first EMI is more than 30 days

    Calculation for debiting remaining interest:

    {(1st EMI Interest Amount ÷ 30 Days) X (Period between booking confirmation date & Payment Due Date)} - Interest charged in first EMI

    Example: Interest charged in first EMI (for a 30-day period) = Rs. 900 Period between the booking confirmation date and Payment Due Date = 42 days Then the amount that will be credited back to the cardholder's account in the subsequent statement(s) will be:{(900 ÷ 30) X (42)} - 900 = Rs. 360
