How CC interest is charged

A CC account usually charges interest on daily utilised balance. If you use Rs 4 Cr out of a Rs 10 Cr limit, interest is calculated on the utilised amount, not the full sanction.

The true cost also includes processing, renewal, documentation, insurance, valuation and guarantee charges where applicable.
