*Assuming all transactions are settled on the same day when the transaction is done
Interest Free Period:
Interest free period from the start of the billing cycle date shall not exceed 48 Days. Effective 5th May, 2014: The
Payment Due Date on your Card can be between 18 and 21 days after the Statement Date (Please check your
statement for your exact Payment Due Date). Therefore free credit period can range from 18-48 days to 21-51
days depending on your Payment Due Date.
Illustrative Example for Interest Free Period Calculation:
For a statement for the period 11 April to 10 May the payment due date is 28 May. Assuming you have paid your
previous month’s dues in full, the grace period would be:
For the purchase dated 12 April, interest free grace period is from 12 April to 28 May=48 days and for the
purchase dated 2 May, interest free grace period is from 2 May to 28 May=27days
However, if you have not paid the previous month’s balance in full before due date, then there will be no
interest free period.
Finance Charges (Interest Charges) Interest will be charged to you on a daily accrual basis if you do not pay
the previous bill amount in full on or before the due date; Interest will be charged from the date of transaction
until the date of settlement. Interest on Cash Advances will be charged from the date of transaction until the date
of settlement @ 1.49% per month for the Travel Agent Credit Card (18% Annualized). Interest would also be
charged if the full payment is received after due date but before the next statement date. If you have been making
a partial payment but you have paid the current statement outstanding in full on or before PaymentDue Date
then Interest will be charged on the total outstanding of the current statement till the date of full payment.
The interest so charged will reflect in subsequent statement. E.g 20th June statement total balance is ₹ 5,000.
Payment Due Date 8th July. Payment off ₹ 5,000 made on 1st July. Interest on ₹ 5,000 for 10 days

03 KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK LIMITED


will be billed in 20th July statement. If there are any transaction for Utility bills, or Insurance payments then the
applicable transaction fee shall also be included.
Illustration of Interest Calculation Assume that you have an outstanding balance of ₹10,000 for the
purchase made on 15th March. The statement generated on the 31st March will show balance of ₹10,000. You
make a payment of ₹ 4,000 on the 10th April. And you make a purchase of ₹ 2,000 on the 15th of April. You make
no further payment on your credit card till May30th April. In this case interest will be levied as follows:
Daily rate of interest = (1.49%)*12/365= 0.049%.
On the balance of ₹10,000 (15th Mar-31st Mar) for 17 days= 10000*0.1085%*17= ₹ 184.45
On the balance off ₹10,000 (1stApriI- 9th April) for 9 days= 10000*0.1085%*9= ₹ 97.65
On the balance of ₹ 6,000 (10thApriI- 14th April) for 5 days= 6000*0.1085%*5= ₹ 14.7
On the balance off ₹ 8,000 (15thApril-30thApr) for 16 days= 8000*0.1085%*16 = ₹ 138.88
Total Interest Charged = ₹ 453.5; Total Outstanding = ₹ 8453.5
In the above example, statement generated on 30th April with Total Amount Due of ₹ 8,453.5. You make a
payment off ₹ 8,453.5 on 15th May and you make no purchase in the month of May. Then in the next statement
generated on 31st May you will be charged with interest of ₹ 128.4. (On the balance of ₹ 8,453.5 (1st May - 14th
May) for 14 days= 8453.5*0.1085%*14=128.4)
The above example does not contain Government taxes (including service tax, GST, any/all applicable taxes from
time to time). Above mentioned illustration is applicable fora revolving interest rate of 1.49% p.m.
Note: If you spend ₹ 5,000 and you pay back exactly the Minimum Amount Due ("MAD") every month, and
then it may result in repayment stretching over 5 years with consequent interest payment on the outstanding
amount. It is therefore suggested that whenever cash flow is available with you, substantial amount more
than MAD be paid to the Bank. Late Payment Charges will be applicable if the MAD is unpaid after the
Payment Due Date.
