Things To Know Before Applying for a Credit Card

Your Credit Card Statement

HDFC Bank generates a Credit Card statement every month that lists all your transactions. It includes the credit limit you have spent, the due date for payments, and the total outstanding balance. This statement is generated as per your billing cycle. The Bank will send you this statement to your registered email address.

Cash Withdrawals with Your Credit Card

You can use the Cash Advance service to withdraw cash from ATMs using your Credit Card. The amount you can withdraw depends on your card type and the predetermined cash advance limit. When you withdraw cash using your Credit Card, the bank will levy interest on the withdrawn amount along with other applicable charges.

Fees & Charges

HDFC Bank applies specific fees on your Credit Card use, depending on the type of card you have. These fees include annual maintenance charges and other charges which are levied on different conditions. It also includes fees for cash advances, foreign currency conversion fees, late payment charges, interest on unpaid balances, fees for going over your credit limit, and applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) charges.

Reward Points​​​​​​​

Your Credit Card transactions, both online and offline, can help you earn rewards, cashback and other offers. You can redeem the accumulated points for brand vouchers, airmiles, statement credit, etc. Ensure you use your reward points before they expire.​​​​​​​

Bill Payment

Upon Credit Card bill generation, the card issuer provides a grace period of up to 20 days for bill payment. To steer clear of late payment charges, ensure you pay at least the minimum amount due before the due date. While you can make partial payments, note that the remaining outstanding balance will accumulate interest and be subject to applicable taxes.

Assess your eligibility and select the Credit Card that aligns with your preferences.

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.

Monitor your Expenses

Stay on top of your Credit Card expenses regularly to thwart potential fraudulent transactions. Opt for SMS and email alerts after each Credit Card transaction to keep a real-time tab on your spends. In the case of suspicious activity, notify the bank and take immediate action to block your card.

- 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.

Don’t use it for prohibited / restricted transactions

Usage of the HDFC Bank International Credit Card(s) shall be strictly in accordance with exchange control regulations, law of the land or of the Regulatory authorities as applicable from time to time.

Do not use the card for transactions involving Forex trading, lottery, betting, gambling, dating, Bitcoins, Virtual currency & any other prohibited transactions as directed in Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999.

Credit Card – Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Credit Card?

A Credit Card is a payment tool that allows you to make purchases and pay for them later. It comes with a predetermined credit limit that you can use to make online or in-store purchases. You will receive a monthly statement detailing your spends, and you can choose to pay the full balance or a portion of it, with interest applied to the remaining balance if not paid in full.

What purpose does a Credit Card serve?

A Credit Card serves as a financial tool that lets you make purchases on credit, allowing you to settle the payment at a later date. This way, you can obtain products and services instantly without the need to defer expenses due to a shortage of cash or limited funds in your Bank Account.

How does a Credit Card Work?

When you use a Credit Card for a transaction, the bank pays the merchants or retailers on your behalf. After that, you have to repay the amount to the bank.
