Things to know

Banks typically charge a small interest fee for converting purchases to EMI. Credit card interest rates vary by bank. It depends on factors, like the repayment time. Some banks offer EMI at no charge on certain products. For queries about applicable interest rates displayed on Google Pay, contact the bank or the merchant issuing the EMI. |

The tenure for EMIs refers to the amount of time you have to pay in installments. Tenures for EMIs are usually from 3 to 18 months. You can select the tenure and pay the monthly installments at a specified interest rate throughout the tenure. For queries about the interest rates displayed on Google Pay, contact the bank or the merchant issuing the EMI. |

There are processing charges and other fees for EMIs issued by banks. Depending on the bank's decision, the processing fee is either a flat cost or a proportion of the total sum. This fee is a one-time payment, either paid up front or included in the monthly credit card bill. When you confirm the EMI plan, the processing fee is displayed. For queries about the processing fees, contact the bank or the merchant issuing the EMI. |
Interest ratesChanges to your credit card limit with EMI
With EMI:
- The total purchase amount will be deducted from your credit limit.
- The equivalent amount will be added back to your limit when repayments are made.
For queries about changes to the credit limit displayed on Google Pay, contact the bank or the merchant issuing the EMI.
How EMI calculations work
- The EMI is based on various factors, such as:
- Rate of interest charged by the bank
- Tenure chosen to repay the amount
- The monthly credit card bill statement includes your monthly EMI.
Sample EMI calculation if you buy a new phone:
|
Phone purchase amount |
₹10,000 |
|---|---|
|
Interest If you select a plan for 10 months with an interest rate of 10% |
10,000 x 10% = ₹1,000 |
| One-time processing fee (Inclusive of GST) | ₹50 |
| Bank discount | ₹200 |
| EMI amount | ₹850 |
| Total amount | ₹10,000 + ₹850 = ₹10,850 |
|
EMI plan over a 10 month period |
₹1,085 x 10 = ₹10,850 |
