Instances When Interest Applies to Bajaj Finserv RBL Bank SuperCards

Knowing when interest is applicable can help you use your SuperCard better. The upside is that if you clear the total due amount before the interest-free period ends, you can use your card without any interest charges.

 

Here are the instances where interest is chargeable: 

  • If you do not clear the total amount by the payment due date, interest will apply to the total amount due

  • Even if you pay the minimum amount due by the payment date, RBL Bank charges interest on the total amount due (entire balance)

  • Until the overdue balance is fully repaid, interest will apply to every new transaction

  • If you withdraw cash from an ATM, interest will be applicable from the time of withdrawal until repayment
