Since EMI will be preclosed, EASYEMI preclosure Interest charges (as applicable) will be levied to the card, e.g. the Customer is in 3rd month of EMI, and the statement date is 25th of every month. If the loan gets preclosed on 19th November, then interest for 25th October to 19th November will be levied as 'Preclosure Interest charges'. However, If the refund amount from the merchant is less than 90.01% of EASYEMI Principal Outstanding, then the EMI Loan will not get pre-closed.
