Does emi cancellation Axis fetch rewards for transaction? Also if it is Magnus Burgundy counts towards milestone? Anyone tried ?
 
Sometimes hdfc debit card EMI gives better discount in comparison to Credit card EMI, before considering debit card EMI cancellation what charges should we keep in mind? Note that I am referring to regular EMI, not no cost EMI. This thread conclude that approx 3.5% preclosure charges should consider for HDFC credit card if we preclose No cost EMI, but what about normal EMI? Can someone explain the difference between preclosure and cancellation of EMI and their treatment.
 
Has anyone tried cancelling No Cost EMI on HSBC cards ??
Do we have any foreclosure fee or hidden charges??
Cancellation of no-cost EMI from merchant side is not available for HSBC cards. There is only foreclosure of EMI. It is applicable on 3% of total amount and 18% GST.
 
Do we need to cancel the HDFC EMI before EMI conversion or after? For ex. if transaction date was 26 April 2025 then when should I cancel it? Also, should I call customer care or from MyCards app. ?
 
Unable to find any other common thread for all banks. So, creating this as Master Wiki thread. Feel free to modify or add additional bank details.



1. ICICI

  • Process: After EMI conversion, request customer care to cancel the EMI. Immediate cancellation.
  • Cancellation Window: Within 15 days.
  • Charges: No charges; processing fee reversed.


2. Axis

  • Process: Same as ICICI.
  • Cancellation Window: Within 30 days.
  • Charges: No charges; processing fee reversed.


3. Bank of Baroda (BoB)

  • Process: After EMI conversion, email them at crm@bobfinancial.com.
  • Charges: ₹199 + ₹35.
  • Tip: Request cancellation as soon as the transaction is converted to EMI, as interest is charged on a daily basis.


4. SBI

  • Process: Call customer care and request cancellation.
  • Charges: Vary from ₹0 to ₹199 for processing fee + GST + 3.54% of the outstanding amount.
  • Trick: Make the outstanding balance on your card ₹0 after the transaction and before EMI conversion. In this case, the transaction won't get converted to EMI.


5. HDFC

  • Process: Log in to MyCards and request cancellation from there.
  • Charges: Only ₹35 (processing fee of ₹199 is reversed).
  • Tips:
    • Never make EMI transactions on HDFC credit cards if your billing date is within 7 days. If the first EMI is billed, the processing fee is not reversed.
    • After EMI cancellation, HDFC asks for the outstanding payment within 24 hours. However, if not done, there are usually no issues (self-tested).
  • Note: HDFC is currently charging pre-closure fees for canceling NCEMI transactions before billing.

Might have exceptions for some users (as updated in TF).


6. Kotak

  • Process: After EMI conversion, first pay the principal amount on the card, then call customer care for cancellation.
  • Charges: All charges are reversed except the GST component if canceled within 15 days.
  • Tip: Always select the longest EMI duration to minimize the GST component.

7. Federal
