Smart Buying Tips: Avoid No-Cost EMI Traps
1. Prefer Upfront Instant Discount
If you have cash available, choosing full payment often unlocks ₹1,500-₹3,000 instant bank discounts, making it cheaper than No-Cost EMI.
2. Watch out for 18% GST
The merchant gives upfront discount for interest, but GST on the bank interest portion is strictly charged to the buyer in monthly credit card statements.
3. Protect Credit Limit & Score
Converting large purchases to EMI blocks your credit card limit by the full purchase amount, reducing available credit during emergencies.
