Converting an IDFC’s credit card bill into IDFC Credit Card EMI payment helps cardholders manage large expenses without paying the full amount in one billing cycle. The facility allows eligible transactions or outstanding balances to be repaid through fixed monthly instalments, offering better cash flow management.
Last updated on: January 08, 2026
IDFC First Bank’s bill-to-EMI facility enables cardholders to convert eligible credit card transactions or total outstanding dues into monthly instalments. Instead of settling the full bill amount at once, you can spread repayment across a selected tenure at a predefined interest rate.
This option is particularly useful for high-value purchases or months with higher spending. EMI conversion can be initiated digitally via the IDFC First Bank mobile app or net banking, and in certain cases through customer care. Once converted, the EMI amount becomes part of your monthly credit card statement until the tenure ends.
To qualify for EMI conversion, certain conditions must be met:
The credit card must be active and not blocked
There should be no overdue or unpaid amounts
Sufficient available credit limit must exist
The transaction or outstanding amount must meet the minimum conversion threshold
Transactions generally not eligible include:
Cash withdrawals and wallet loads
Fuel purchases (unless specified)
Government payments and taxes
EMI conversions already in place
Eligibility can be checked instantly through the IDFC First Bank app or net banking.
