What HDFC Pixel Go EMI Really Costs
Here's an example one user saw in PayZapp on a โน10,000 bill. Rates differ for each person, so treat it as a guide only.
So a short EMI is much cheaper than rolling the bill. That's because unpaid card dues attract interest of around 3.6% a month on the full amount. Therefore, if you can't pay in full, EMI beats the minimum due almost every time.
When Not to Use EMI
- For small amounts. The processing fee can wipe out the benefit.
- Again and again. If you need EMI every month, cut spending or lower your card limit.
- When a no-cost EMI was offered at checkout. Use the store's no-cost EMI instead. Our guide on [whether no-cost EMI is really free](/blogs/no-cost-emi-explained-is-it-really-free) explains the catch.
- For spends you expect cashback on. EMI transactions usually earn no CashPoints.
Also, EMIs block part of your credit limit until you repay. So keep that in mind; our credit limit guide explains why low usage matters.
