Credit Card Bill Payment

Credit Card bill payment is one of the key aspects to keep in mind when using a Credit Card. Since Credit Cards help you make purchases now and settle the payment at a later date, you are essentially borrowing money from the bank. You are required to repay this amount by the end of the billing cycle. The bank offers an interest-free grace period of up to 30-50 days from the date of the transaction.

What is Credit Card bill payment?

If you use a Credit Card regularly, you will get a monthly credit bill or statement. The Credit Card statement includes various details related to your transactions as well as any overdue fees, or interest charges if you have converted any transaction into EMIs or carried forward the outstanding amount.
You can either make the full Credit Card bill payment or pay the minimum required payment, which is around 5% to 10% of the total outstanding balance. Any remaining balance is carried forward to the following month. The bank charges an interest rate on that outstanding amount.

Reasons to pay Credit Card bills on time

It is advisable to settle your credit bill payment before the due date. This helps you avoid accruing interest charges on your subsequent statement. This will help avoid the accumulation of fees and interest charges. The benefits of paying Credit Card dues in full include:

Your credit score remains high and credit history stays positive
You avoid penalties and high interest rate charges
The credit limit on your Credit Card remains high, allowing you to make further transactions as and when required

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we pay our Credit Card bill monthly?

Yes, you can. Credit Card bills usually have a minimum amount due that you must pay by a specified due date to avoid late payment fees and penalties.

What is the minimum due amount on a Credit Card?

It is a small percentage of the total outstanding balance (usually 5% to 10%) and includes interest and fees. Paying only the minimum due will prevent late fees, but result in the remaining balance being carried forward to the next billing cycle with interest charges.

When should I pay my Credit Card bill?

You should pay your Credit Card bill by the due date mentioned on the bill. Paying on or before the due date will help you avoid late payment fees and negative impacts on your credit score. It's advisable to pay your bill in full to avoid interest charges.

Can I pay my Credit Card bill on the same day I use it?

Yes, you can. Please note that Credit Card transactions may take a day or two to reflect in your account, so ensure you are paying for the correct transactions.

What will happen if I overpay my Credit Card amount?

If you overpay your Credit Card balance, the excess amount will be credited to your account. You can use this excess amount to offset future purchases or request a refund from the Credit Card issuer.
