Types of Loan on Credit Card

Q1 What types of loans can I get on my credit card, and how do they differ?

Insta Loan: With an Insta Loan, you can borrow up to the full available limit on your credit card. For example, if your credit card limit is ₹1,00,000, you can borrow a maximum of ₹1,00,000. This loan temporarily blocks your credit limit, but with each EMI repayment, the limit is gradually restored.

Jumbo Loan: A Jumbo Loan allows you to borrow beyond your credit card limit. For example, if your card limit is ₹1,00,000, you may have a Jumbo loan offer of ₹3,00,000. Unlike an Insta Loan, your credit card limit is not blocked.

Smart Tip: Consider Ravi, who has a credit card limit of ₹1,00,000.

If Ravi needs ₹1,00,000 or less and doesn’t mind temporarily blocking his credit card limit, he might choose an Insta Loan. However, if he needs a larger amount, like ₹3,00,000, or wants to keep his credit card limit free for regular expenses, Ravi may prefer taking a Jumbo Loan.

Choose an Insta Loan if you need an amount within your credit limit and are okay with the limit being temporarily blocked. Opt for a Jumbo Loan if you need a larger amount or want your credit limit to remain available for ongoing spending.

Q2 Can I take both Jumbo & Insta Loans at the same time if I need a larger loan amount?

Yes, you can avail both Jumbo and Insta Loans together if you need a larger loan amount.
For example, let’s consider Ravi. He has an Insta Loan offer of ₹1,00,000 and a Jumbo Loan offer of ₹3,00,000. Since Ravi wants a total loan amount of ₹3,50,000, he can take a Jumbo Loan of ₹3,00,000 and then proceeds to take an Insta Loan of ₹50,000 to meet his needs

EMI Related FAQs

Q1 What will be my monthly EMI?

The EMI amount depends on three factors: the loan amount, the interest rate, and the loan tenure. Let’s take an example to make it clearer: For a loan of ₹1,00,000 at an annual interest rate of 12%* with a tenure of 48 months, your EMI will be approximately ₹2,634

Smart Tip: Choose a longer repayment tenure to reduce your EMI.

Q2 How do I pay monthly EMI?

For Jumbo Loans: A dedicated jumbo loan statement will be issued, and its due date will be the same as your credit card’s due date. For example, if your credit card payment is due on the 10th of every month, your jumbo loan EMI will also be due on the 10th, helping you manage both payments without tracking multiple dates.

For Insta Loans: Your EMI will be integrated into your credit card bill, so no separate tracking is required. You only need to repay your credit card bill on its usual due date, and the EMI will be included in that payment. For example, if your credit card bill is due on the 10th, your EMI will be included, and paying your bill in full will automatically cover the EMI.

Smart Tip: Take a loan right after your credit card statement is generated to enjoy a break from EMI payments. For example, if your statement is generated on the 20th of January and is due on the 10th of February, taking a loan on the 25th of January means your first EMI will only be due on the 10th of March—so you won’t have any EMI payments in January or February.

Q3 Is it possible to reduce my EMI?

Yes, you can reduce your EMI by extending the loan tenure. For example, for a loan of ₹1,00,000 at an interest rate of 12%*, the EMI for 24 months will be around ₹4,708, but if you extend the tenure to 48 months, the EMI decreases to approximately ₹2,634. A longer tenure means lower monthly payments.
