How it actually works?

Usually your monthly credit card repayment bills generated on the first week of every month. Understanding credit cards repayment bill make you smart on credit card usage.

Example –Let’s say a credit card bill is generate on 1stJune 2017 so the payment should make by 19thJune 2017. Now the bill that is generated has the transactions details from 1st May 2017 to 31st May 2017. if you actually calculate the number of days to make the repayment it is 19 days, therefore within 19th June the bill have to pay.

Principle and policies:

All credit cards repayment tenure work on the same principle and policies, Now a wise tips to you, the next day, after bill generated use your card , if you do, you will have almost 50 days to make the repayment. Think about it.
if the credit card limit is Rs.1, 00,000 and you making a transaction of Rs.10, 000 on 02nd May 2017 after that you did not make any transactions then the bill amount Rs.10, 000 will generate on 1st June 2017 and 19th June 2017 is the repayment date, Now if you actually calculate the days its 47 days to make the repayment.

Billing Example 1:
credit card Billing Period – 1st May 2017 – 31st May 2017
Transaction of Rs. 10,000 is done on 02nd May 2017 (Only one transaction for whole month)
Bill Generation Date – 1st June 2017 (Bill Amount is Rs.10, 000)
Bill repayment Date – 19th June 2017 (Amount going to pay  Rs.10, 000)
Total days to repay credit amount – 47 days. (To make repayment of Rs.10000)
Billing Example 2:
Billing Period – 1st May 2017 – 31st May 2017
Transaction of Rs. 10,000 done on 02nd May 2017
Transaction of Rs. 10,000 done on 22nd May 2017
Transaction of Rs. 10,000 done on 28th May 2017
Bill Generation Date – 1st June 2017 (Bill Amount is Rs.30, 000)
Bill repayment Date – 19th June 2017 (Amount going to pay is Rs.30, 000)
Total days to repay credit card- 21 days

The last transaction Rs.30, 000 is done on 28th May 2017 and days to make repayment is calculated from last transaction date till the bill payment due date.
