Credit cards come with numerous benefits and help you save a substantial amount in the form of reward points, cashback or direct discounts. However, you can make the most of these features only when you make judicious use of the cards and pay the bills timely. If you have an Axis Bank Credit Card, here are a few ways how you can pay your bills online. Before that, let us discuss a few important points about credit card bills and how much should you pay.
How much should you pay- total due or minimum due?
Each month, in your Axis Bank Credit Card Statement, you can see two types of dues- total amount due and minimum amount due. Total due, as the name suggests, is the total amount that you owe to the bank in that billing cycle. However, if you cannot manage to pay the total due, card issuers also give you an option to pay minimum amount due which is usually 5% of the total due but also includes any active EMIs and additional fees and charges. By paying the total amount due on or before the due date, you can avoid late payment charges and keep your card active.
However, when you pay only the minimum due or any amount less than the total due, the remaining balance starts attracting finance charges. Moreover, when there is unpaid balance in your credit card, new purchases also become ineligible for the interest-free period. This means all new transactions will start attracting finance charges from the first day.
