So I was able to finally order a oneplus 11r for my dad and paid around 34.6k using the no cost emi trick. Now the catch is, I am expecting delivery on 7th March. Should I cancel the ncemi before receiving the delivery or after? I have used Icici mmt cc for making the transaction. Please advice as 2 days have already passed and the transaction of 34k has been reflected in my acc statement

You choose the no cost emi option with the longest tenure to get additional discount. Suppose a refrigerator is costing around 26k. Using the ncemi method, you can choose the longest tenure say 12months, you will get additional discount of around 2k and your acc will get debited for 24k. Later you have to call the bank and cancel the emi stating you want to pay in full. Some banks charge a pre closure fee while others dont ( icici doesn’t is what I’ve read here ) i am just not sure on when to call to cancel the emi as currently I haven’t been charged the emi conversion fee yet (199+gst) and stuff

Just cancel as soon as it is settled. Doesn't matter from delivery perspective.

You can cancel anytime after the transaction is settled and coverted to emi. But I'd suggest waiting till you recieve the phone just in case the phone doesnt get delivered or you have to cancel it for any reason.

If I pay in full after emi canecl..then why even take emi option? Normally on offer page  emi or no emi both have discount. .🤔

NCEMI gives max advantage if we select the longest tenure of payment.

In one insurance payment I have no cost emi for 24months. Can I use this trick and foreclose that payment?

Is there any upper limit on tenure of EMI that I can foreclose? (Using ICICI)

Is this trick applicable for SBI cards? Used in LG showroom for 6months EMI as offer is applicable only on 6 months EMI. Unable to reach the SBI cc executive.
