A JPMiles uncapping fee of ₹7,500 (“Uncapping Fee”) will be levied each anniversary year once
the JPMiles cap as specified above is reached by the Card member in that year. The Card
Member will have to pay this Uncapping Fee before he/she can accumulate further JPMiles in
that anniversary year. The JPMiles cap will be reset at the beginning of every anniversary year.
###For American Express Cards: 3.5%, out of which 1.5% will be retained by American
Express.

3. Interest Charges:
1) Interest will be charged if the Total Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date. Interest
will be charged on the Total Amount Due and on all new transactions (from the transaction date)
till such time as the previous outstanding amounts are paid in full. Also, interest will be levied
on all cash advances from the date of the transaction until the date of payment.
2) The rate of interest may be changed at the sole discretion of ICICI Bank. It can be as low as
1.25% per month (15% per annum) depending on factors such as, but not limited to, credit
history, purchase patterns, payment behaviour, loyalty and month-onbook.
3) In case of default, interest charges may increase up to a maximum of 3.67% per month (44%
per annum).

The following illustration will indicate the method of calculating interest charges:
In the table given below, it has been assumed that the Total Amount Due of the previous month
statement has been paid by the payment due date and there is no outstanding amount. The
statement date is 15th of every month. Given these assumptions, interest will be calculated as
below:

Transaction ₹
Purchase on April 10, 2009 2,000
Total Amount Due on statement dated April 15, 2009 2,000
Minimum Amount Due on statement dated April 15, 2009 100
Payment due date - May 3, 2009
Purchase on May 7, 2009 800
Payment on May 10, 2009 1,500
On statement dated May 15, 2009, following interest charges will be levied:
Interest calculations @ 40.80% per annum for Gold Card
a) Interest on ₹2000 for 30 days (from April 10 to May 9) 67.07
b) Interest on ₹500 for 6 days (from May 10 to May 15) 3.35
c) Interest on ₹800 for 9 days (from May 7 to May 15) 8.05
Total interest charged in the statement dated 15th May 78.47
GST will be applicable on interest charges.

4. Late Payment Charges (LPC):

Late payment charges will be applicable if the Minimum Amount Due is not paid by the payment
due date.
Illustrative Example for Calculation of Late Payment Charges:
Payment of at least Minimum Amount Due i.e. ₹100 in the above example, is required to be
paid by the payment due date (3rd May), to ensure that no late payment charges are levied. If
minimum amount due is not paid, late payment charges would be levied as per the below table:
Total Amount Due Late Payment Charges
Less than ₹100 None
Between ₹100 - ₹500 ₹100
Between ₹501 - ₹10,000 ₹500
More than ₹10,000 ₹750

Thus, in the above example, since the minimum amount due of ₹100 is not paid by the payment
due date of May 3, 2009 and since Total Amount Due was ₹2000, late payment charges of ₹500
will be levied on 4th May, 2009. This charge will also be applicable if you make a payment of
less than the minimum amount due by the payment due date. GST will be applicable on late
payment charges.

5. Interest- Free (Grace) Period:

The grace period could range from 18 to 48 days.
Illustrative Example for the calculation of grace period: For a statement for the period from April
15, 2009 to May 15, 2009 the payment due date would be June 2, 2009. Assuming that you have
paid your Total Amount Due of the previous month statement by the payment due date, the
grace period would be:
1. For a purchase dated April 24, 2009, the interest-free grace period is from April 24, 2009 to
June 2, 2009, i.e. 40 days.
2. For a purchase dated May 14, 2009, the interest-free grace period is from May 14, 2009 to
June 2, 2009, i.e. 20 days.
Thus, the grace period can vary depending upon the date of purchase. However, if the Total
Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date, then there will be no interest free period. For
cash advances, interest is charged from the date of the transaction until the date of payment.

(b) Withdrawal Limits: The Credit Limit and Cash Withdrawal Limit are communicated at the time
of delivery of the Card and are also indicated in the monthly statements. Available credit limit is
calculated by deducting the utilised limit from the Total Credit Limit. In case the Card Member
has availed of any loan within the credit limit on the card, the outstanding loan amount will also
be deducted from the Total Credit Limit to arrive at the Available Credit limit.
Cash limit will be a sub-set of credit limit and will be NIL for the first one hundred and eighty
(180) days from the date of issuance of the Card, on select Cards as may be specified by ICICI
Bank. After the expiry of the first 180 days period from the date of issuance of the Card, the cash
limit will be made available to the Card Member by ICICI Bank at its sole discretion and on such
terms as may be communicated by ICICI Bank from time-to-time.
The Card Member shall be entitled to apply for a review / enhancement / reduction of the credit
limit and/or cash limit if provided by ICICI Bank, upon completion of 12 months of his
membership. Alterations upon such review, if any, of the credit limit and/or cash limit will be at
the sole discretion of ICICI Bank. ICICI Bank shall at its sole discretion be entitled to review
(including enhancement or reduction) the credit limit and/or the cash limit assigned on the Card
at any time and only enhancements, if any, to the credit limit and/or the cash limit, shall be
effected by ICICI Bank along with the consent of the Card Member.
(c) Billing:
1) Billing Statements – periodicity and mode of sending: All Card Member will be billed on a
monthly basis for all charges incurred by the use of the Card and for all charges applicable to the
card account. However, there may be no statement generated for the period in which there has
been no outstanding due and no transaction on the account in the past month. The billing
statement will be dispatched on a monthly basis to customers at the mailing address as per our
records by post and/or by e-mail.

2) Minimum Amount Payable: Without prejudice to the liability of the Card Member to
immediately pay all charges incurred, the Card Member may exercise the option to pay only the
Minimum Amount Due (MAD) indicated in the statement by the due date. The Minimum Amount
Due shall be 5% of the outstanding amount or such other amount as may be determined by ICICI
Bank at its sole discretion. In case of any repayment through installments, the installment amount
due during the statement period will be added to the Minimum Amount Due. If the total
outstanding is more than the credit or cash limit, then the amount by which the credit or cash
limit has been exceeded will also be included in the Minimum Amount Due. Minimum Amount
Due shall also include unpaid Minimum Amount Due of the previous statements, if any. Interest
will be charged if the Total Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date even if the Minimum
Amount Due has been paid.

If customer has registered for Auto Debit facility towards Credit Card repayment and has selected
Minimum Amount Due option then the same will be executed on the due date provided no
amount is paid by the customer before due date. If customer has paid an amount less than
Minimum Amount Due before due date then differential amount would be debited. If customer
has paid an amount which is equal to or more than Minimum Amount Due before due date then
no additional amount will be debited from customer’s liability account.
If you spend ₹5,000 and pay back exactly the Minimum Amount Due (subject to a minimum
payment of ₹100) every month, it will take you up to 6 years and 6 months to pay back the total
amount. We therefore suggest that whenever your cash flows allow, pay back an amount
substantially more than your Minimum Amount Due.

No merchant refund/cashback/credit due to transactions converted to EMI / cancelled

transactions / reversals / promotional cashback will be considered as a payment towards the
outstanding of the card.

In case card member makes an excess payment compared to the outstanding of the card, there
will be credit balance in the card account. This will be adjusted against the subsequent
transactions on the card. However, no interest can be claimed on this excess credit amount.

3) Method of payment: Payments towards the Card Account may be made in any of the
following ways:
 Scan to Pay: Use Scan to Pay for making QR-Code based Unified Payments Interface (UPI)
