HDFC Bank will not be liable to convert any transaction done at such merchants, and any such conversion request will be rejected in compliance with regulatory guidelines.

•EASYEMI needs to be availed at the time of doing transactions at the merchant outlet or merchant website. It is not a backend conversion process. In case of merchant websites offering HDFC Bank EASYEMI, ‘HDFC Bank’ EMI option and required tenure needs to be selected on the payment page of the merchant website. The Bank is not liable to or responsible for converting transactions wherein the 'HDFC Bank' EMI option was not chosen by the cardholder or in case of technical issues at the merchant's end in routing the transaction to the Bank as an EMI transaction.

•In case of transactions done at physical outlets of merchants (POS transactions), please check with the merchant on the availability of the EASYEMI facility before swiping your HDFC Bank Credit card. EASYEMI in POS transactions is valid only on swipes done on HDFC Bank/Plutus swipe machine. Please ensure that the intention to avail HDFC Bank EASYEMI and the tenure option is communicated to the merchant before swiping the card. The charge slip generated post swipe will indicate the EASYEMI tenure, Transaction Amount, Merchant Payback, Loan Amount, EASYEMI Finance Charges (% on reducing balance per annum) EMI value. Please highlight to the merchant immediately if the tenure is not appearing/wrongly appearing. HDFC Bank is not liable for erroneous swipes done by merchants, e.g. Swipe done as a regular transaction instead of swiping as an EASYEMI transaction OR swipe done on another Bank swipe machine. The Bank is also not liable for converting such erroneous transactions to EASYEMI transactions at the backend.

•Please ensure that all terms and charges mentioned on the charge slip are read before signing on the same. Cardholders can ask the merchant to void the transaction if they are not in agreement with the terms/charges. Once the merchant settles a transaction, Bank will deem the charge slip as ‘customer consent’ for EASYEMI terms, conditions, and charges.

•At select merchants, 'Merchant Payback' might be applicable. This is being provided by the respective merchant/manufacturer and not by Issuing Bank. In such cases, the 'Loan amount' will be Transaction Amount less Merchant Payback amount. EASYEMI Finance Charges will be applied on the 'Loan Amount' to calculate EMI.

•Change of tenure is not allowed once the EASYEMI transaction has been completed.

•The credit limit on the HDFC Bank credit card shall be blocked to the extent of the full transaction amount. The credit limit will be released when the EMI is billed and paid for in subsequent months as per the EMI plan.

•The EMI debit per statement will be part of ‘Minimum Amount Due” and is payable by the Payment Due Date. Service tax, Education Cess and other taxes as mandated by Government regulations from time to time will be applicable on the interest component of each EMI billed.

•In case of online EASYEMI transactions done at merchant websites, if refund done by the merchant is greater than 90.01% of EASYEMI Prinicipal Outstanding on Credit Card, then EMI Loan will be pre-closed. Interest charged as part of EMIs already posted to the card will not be reversed. 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. In such cases, the balance EASYEMI Prinicipal outstanding will be reduced to the extent of the refund, and EMI for the remaining tenures will be reduced.

•All prevailing terms and conditions of merchants would apply in addition to these terms and conditions.

In case of preclosure, any payback offered by the merchant at the time of loan booking will be debited on a pro-rata basis. Any payment made into the credit card account over and above the EASYEMI shall not be deemed to be payment towards the amount availed under the EMI scheme and shall not result in the closure of the said facility. HDFC Bank reserves the right to revise the pre-payment charges at its discretion, without prior notice, and such revised charges shall be binding on the Card Holder.
