I have made a purchase of 50k On my Flipkart Axis Credit Card and Made a Prepayment of Rs.45000
But When the Bill is Generated Today I found they sent me Credit Card bill of 50k , Is Axis the Only Bank who does this
or their are other banks too. What should we do in this Case, Will Contacting the Bank be of any help ?
Please share your knowledge so I can add the Details of All Banks in Deal Wiki and it will help other too
to PrePay or Not Pay for a given Bank.
Another Question I have is Do we Earn Reward Points the Next Month on Spends via the Excess Amount In Our Credit Card.
Additionally Which Credit Card Allows To Prepay the Amount and Use The Card Limit Again or Allows Over limit Usage
I heard ICICI allows prepayment and then Over limit Usage subsequently. What about BOB , had used my BOB card for MI order and now want to use it Again for Amazon Order , But the Card limit is almost exhausted .

ICICI considers pre-payment before bill generation and shows only remaining balance on bill. Not sure about Axis
indus ind also does it
Check your statement whether the pre payment is posted to your credit card before bill generation?
If Yes then bill should of 5k and you need to contact bank.
If No then you might have made pre payment 2-3 days before statement generation date and statement would have been generated before the pre payment was posted to card. In this scenario prepayment will be considered as payments against bill and you will have to pay the remaining amount only.
Note: check your payment date in credit card statement and decide based on that and Nevertheless drop an email(don’t contact over phone) to bank support with your questions and supporting evidences.

Answering your another question yes you can do prepayment to release the used credit limit before the bill generation but I am not sure about over limit uses as some of the bank levy penalties even you do excess pre payment to increase your available credit limit(more than allocated credit limit)
@Dracarys @offers_123 @navkr @I_am_MrPerfect , Thanks for your Inputs Guys ,
Please share info about the other banks you are aware of 😊
Any Idea on Prepayments On BOB
Pre pay works for every bank to release utilised credit limit and is adjusted at time of bill generation.
Next is: using over limit by making prepayment. Some banks levy penalties. I personally do not trust axis so don’t add axis in this list.
Others can provide their reviews
Can you tell me was the card showing -ve balance after you made pre payment ?
Yes , Showing Negative Balance as Bill Got Generated yesterday and I got the credit message for prepayment on axis card 5 days back , but still Axis Generated bill for complete amount though the balance is negative by Rs.200 , as I paid additional amount
Prepay’d same card (Axis FK) .. reflected properly as payment in Bill, dues got adjusted as well.
@beastboy by any chance did you prepay close to the bill generation date, say within 1/2 days of it? Sometimes while bill generation banks ignore txns for 1 or 2 days.
All banks treat Prepay as a payment and adjust with their dues. Only refunds are treated differently by some banks, eg. icici clearly says that refunds are not treated as payments.
This is somewhat to stop any misuse, say you have a 10k dues. You buy clothes of 10k value and cancel it for refund. So now that 10k refund might just be your payment for the dues and you keep carrying over dues without any interest or penalty.
What about refund on transaction made 6 months ago?
On 16th this month my icici statement was generated, bill is 30k.
I got refund of college admission fee (33k) today – this transaction was done 6 months ago.
Current available limit is the same as total limit assigned, 1.9L.
Refunds are not considered as payment in hdfc.
Same in icici.
Any Citi credit card holders with personal experience, whether refund after bill generation will be considered as payment ?
Yes
Citi does it. Happened twice, on both occasions i raised querrt and took written confirmation about it.
But remember to pay minimum due amount even if that makes excess payment
The proper term is Credit balance refund to receive the amount lying in excess of our credit limit.
for hdfc cc my bill got generated on 19th and same day refund was processed from flipkart .
Refund was not adjusted in bill as the statement was generated before refund got credited so i called customer care and they said u can pay the full amount although u can leave the amount which got refunded as it will be adjusted later on but there will be GST issues . But he also said for safe side u must deposit full amount as there can be penalty .
any comments guys , anyone tried ?
Check the payable amount online.. and pay the same.
I do have FK Axis and done excess payment and utilized higher than the limit before bill generation . There was no issue for me after bill generation
