Instances When Interest Applies to ICICI Bank Credit Cards

It’s important to know the different instances under which interest applies on your credit card. As per the bank’s policies, you have an interest-free grace period of 18 to 48 days to pay the total amount due. 

 

If left unpaid, the remaining balance will be subject to penalty interest charges on a daily basis until the amount is paid in full. Here is when interest applies: 

  • When you only pay the minimum amount due by the due date instead of the total amount due 

  • When you have an unpaid balance and make new transactions, which attract interest, except for fees, GST, and charges 

  • When you withdraw cash from an ATM using an ICICI Bank Credit Card for which interest applies from the date of the transaction until you repay the amount
