NOTE : Dont do this trick if you have a Cashback on EMI like HDFC Iphone offer gives 5K CB on iphones I have tried this multiple times and is a sure shot scheme to get even more discount than what is offered by Amazon Flipkart. You would have noticed when you opt for No cost Emi the Emi discount is provided to you upfront and you card is charged for lesser amount. For e.g you buy a phone worth 10k nd 550 is the NCEMI discount for 6M emi then your credit card will be charged with 9450. The catch here is that after your transaction has happened you need to call the bank and ask them that you need to Foreclose the emi and you are ready to pay the 9450 right away. Icici, Hdfc, amex I have personally tried and never faced an issue. You need to call Hdfc and Icici whereas Amex the chat works. Icici needs to be done within 15 days for no charges I think Axis also does it no questions asked i dont remember though about Axis i did it but can't remember. Sbi does it but they charge 3% foreclosure charges This is totally legal in my understanding Emi is just a loan and you are preclosing it

The reason flipkart and amazon offer NCEMI on their branded card is because of the same reason since they don’t offer 5% cashback if you go for emi

If you don’t do emi they offer 5% cashback so they are aware of this trick and keeping you out if hustle by offering that cashback upfront

No CB on emi by Flipkart Axis or ICICI Apay

To take the max benefit of this – Choose the highest duration NCEMI

Amazon – 50K LG tv the NCEMI discount is 8K on 24M Emi which you can grab as upfront discount

I guess, all major banks have foreclosure charges to overcome this trick.
RBL, Kotak Bank also has it

Please provide a definitive list of banks also, where they don’t have any foreclosure charges.

As I mentioned HDFC, ICICI & AMEX 0 Charges SBI 3% Axis mostly free if done in 7-15 days Rest as you mentioned RBL, Kotak have charges Also if disc% like 8K of 50K is 16% is much higher than 3% Foreclosure its still worth using the trick

Will the foreclosure affect CIBIL?

Deal Lieutenant Deal Lieutenant
Link Copied

No since that Foreclosure is of a emi in credit card, it doesnt appear in CIBIL anywhere

My CIBIL has been consistent and have bee doing this since 2 yrs

However my CIBIL recently fell but thats coz I had to apply personal loan, so ideally this has no effect on CIBIL

I was told by hdfc cc that reward points will not be earned for the transaction? Is it true?  Also hdfc charges 199 rs processing fee for every emi

Tech Guru Tech Guru

This is correct. In addition to that, one has to clear all the outstanding charges on the card along with the foreclosure amount "@PunjabiBoyz":https://www.desidime.com/users...74

Flipkart is showing that 36 months no cost emi will be there, so i am expecting it will be on flipkart axis bank card only, if we can cancel that emi, the discount will be huge.

Yes you can take the benefits of that 36M

Also to all dimers – If you do a emi and even if this trick doesn’t work in your case you aren’t losing out on anything, you still get the emi feature if emi isn’t canceled

The only issue is when you have to choose between 5% cb vs Emi discount.. In that case i think icici you should choose emi and cancel it since I’m sure on that
Axis I’ll try in this sale and update you but I’m 90% confident that axis will cancel the emi nd u can enjoy the discount

After how many days/hours of transaction, can we contact customer care to cancel the EMI?

Can we also do it via mail/app, in the case of HDFC ?

As per telephonic cc

RBL processing fee - 1.99%+GST
RBL foreclosure charge - 3%+GST i.e. 3.54%

Citi processing fee - asked me to confirm with the merchant
Citi foreclouse - no charges

But, citi 1.99%+gst processing fee?? seriously??? Amazon is showing it as 199+GST. This cc girl is saying that 1.99%+gst.. Need to confirm once again now

After foreclosure, the whole amount will be charged to your card. Once you pay the amount, the credit limit will be released after payment reflection.
