You can earn higher reward points with select Credit Cards. Remember to utilise your reward points before they expire. Also, look out for exclusive Credit Card offers with your reward points.

Credit Card Statement

HDFC Bank generates monthly Credit Card statements comprising details of all transactions made during a credit cycle – the amounts swiped, the due date, and the outstanding amounts. The statement is generated on a fixed date that may not necessarily be the first day of the month. HDFC Bank sends you the statement on your registered email address.

Credit Card Cash Withdrawal

You can use your Credit Card to withdraw cash at ATMs with our Credit Card cash advance facility. The permissible cash withdrawal limits depends on your card type. It also differs from the credit limit. The bank levies credit card interest rate and other applicable fees on Credit Card cash withdrawals. ​​​​​​​

Fees & Charges

​​​​​​​HDFC Bank levies certain Credit Card fees, based on the type of Credit Card you hold. The bank levies an annual maintenance charge. Other charges you should be prepared to bear when you apply for Credit Cards include a cash advance fee for cash withdrawals, foreign currency markup fee, late payment charges, interest on outstanding dues, fees for exceeding the credit limit, and GST charges.

Credit Card Bill Payment

​​​​​​​HDFC Bank generates a new bill every month, per your credit cycle. You get 20 days post the bill generation date, and an interest-free period of approximately 50 days. You must pay at least the minimum amount due. The bank does not levy any additional charges if your repay your outstanding dues in full on or before the due date.

- What To Do:

Research The Cards

​​​​​​​HDFC Bank offers an array of Credit Cards catering to various needs. From shopping credit cards to best airline credit cards, please check our bouquet of offerings based on your eligibility and choose your preferred Credit Card.​​​​​​​

Assess Terms and Conditions

You must check the vital terms and conditions concerning credit limits, interest rates, cash withdrawals, fees and charges, waivers, discounts, Credit Card offers, etc., when you apply for a Credit Cards online.​​​​​​​

Repay Dues on Time

​​​​​​​Repaying your dues in full proves incredibly beneficial as it showcases your creditworthiness to the bank over a specific period of time. Also, you do not have to pay interest if you repay your total outstanding dues on time.​​​​​​​

Leverage Credit Limit Enhancement

​​​​​​​HDFC Bank will inform you if you qualify for credit limit enhancements. An enhanced credit limit gives you freedom to buy more and earn more reward points so use it to your advantage.​​​​​​​

Know About Billing and Payment Dates

​​​​​​​The billing date is when the bank sends you an itemised bill comprising your Credit Card spends during the last billing cycle and the payment date is the date on or before which you must clear your dues. Ensure you keep track of these dates to avoid late payment charges.​​​​​​​

Track your Expenses

Keep track of your Credit Card expenses frequently to avoid fraudulent transactions. You can track your spends by opting to receive SMS and email alerts following every Credit Card transaction. Also, inform the bank and block your card immediately in case of fraudulent transactions.

- What Not to Do:

Don’t Over Utilise the Entire Credit Limit​​​​​​

​​​​​​​Utilising only a part of your card’s credit limit may be the right way to go. Over-utilisation of the credit limit may impact your credit score, burden you with a huge debt, and makes repayment difficult.​​​​​​​

Don’t Apply for Too Many Credit Cards

While it may seem wise to to have more than one Credit Card and by extension an additional credit limit, especially during emergencies, applying for multiple Credit Cards may not be not prudent. Doing so may make you appear credit hungry or a imply risk-taking tendencies​​​​​​​

Don’t Pay Just the Minimum Amount Due

​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​Paying only the minimum amount due on your Credit Card is not recommended. By choosing this option, you would typically carry forward the remaining amount to the next cycle, incurring an interest rate on the delayed payment, and increasing your outstanding Credit Card debt.​​​​​​​

Tips For Secure Credit Card Usage

Understanding how to use a Credit Card wisely is vital. Consider these security tips.

Card Features and Usage

Your Credit Card comprises details like your name, card number, expiration date and the CVV number. While making online transactions, you must enter these details. You must also input the 4-digit pin along with a One Time Password (OTP) the bank sends on your registered mobile number (RMN) to authenticate the transaction. Ensure secure transactions by not sharing your PIN or OTP with anyone.

Overseas Usage

You can activate your card for international usage anytime. We recommend you deactivate it soon after arriving in India. You must inform us immediately upon losing your card or if you notice fraudulent or suspicious transactions on your card. The bank will block the card immediately in such cases.

Avoid Sharing Card Details

Do not respond to correspondences asking for your card number, expiry date, or other data. While you may have to input some values when you call us on the helpline, remember that HDFC Bank or our representatives will never ask you for your Credit Card PIN, CVV, or OTPs. Do not share this information with anyone.
