Change in Interest Calculation Methodology


With effect from 01-04-2023, there will be a change in the way the Interest Amount is calculated.
Interest will continue be levied on all transactions and charges that were carried out during the time
the customer is a revolver (has revolving credit and has paid less than Total Amount Due in one of
the previous months).

An Illustration for the same is provided below:


 Statement Cycle – 16th to 15th of every month
 Statement Generation Date – 15th of every month
 Payment Due Date – 4th of every month
 Interest Rate – 3.6% per month

Cycle 1: 16th May to 15th June


Purchase made on 20th May: INR 10,000
No other purchase in the statement cycle
Statement for INR 10,000 generated on 15th June with payment due date of 4th July

Cycle 2: 16th June to 15th July


Payment of Minimum Amount Due made on 20th June: INR 500
On 5th July, Interest Charged consisting of following components:

1. Interest on INR 10,000 balance from 20th May to 20th June:


INR 10,000*30 days*3.6%*12/365 = INR 355.07

2. Interest on INR 9,500 balance from 20th June to 4th July :


INR 9,500*14 days*3.6%*12/365 = INR 157.41

3. GST of 18% on Total Interest :


18% *(355.07+157.41) = INR 92.24

 Total Charges (355.07+157.41+92.24): INR 604.72


 Balance as on 5th July: 9500 + 604.72 = INR 10104.72.
 If no other purchases are made, Statement Generated at the end of Cycle 2 for INR 10104.72
 Minimum Amount Due at Interest Charges + 5% of remaining outstanding:
5% of 9,500 + 604.72 = INR 1079.72.

Cycle 3: 16th July to 15th August


Payment of Total Amount Due made on 20th July
Payment of INR 10104.72. Outstanding Balance is zero
No other purchases during the cycle.
On 5th August (after payment due date) the following Interest components will be added for the
difference in dates between transactions and payment.

1. Interest on Balance of INR 9,500 from 4th July to 20th July :


INR 9,500 * 16 days * 3.6% * 12/365 = INR 179.90

2. Interest on Interest Charges of INR 521.48 from 4th July to 20th July :
INR 512.48 * 16 * 3.6% * 12/365 = INR 9.70

3. Interest on GST Charges of INR 92.24 from 4th July to 20th July :
INR 92.24 * 16 * 3.6% *12/365 = INR 1.74

 Total Charges = (179.90 + 9.70 + 1.74) = INR 191.34


 Interest of INR 191.34 added to statement on 4th August.
