Which is the Best Credit Card for You?

The best credit card for you would be the one that you choose based on the credit limit as per your expenses. This, however, also depends on your credit score. For instance, if you have a low credit score resulting from failure to make credit card payment bills on time, then you may face some restrictions when you apply for credit card.

But if you are a first-time credit card holder, here is how you can choose the best credit card for yourself:

Monthly expenses:
Choose a credit card whose limit is close to your monthly expenses. If you have a lower credit limit, prioritise only the payments which should be made through your credit card.
Rewards & Points:
You could also select a credit card that offers certain additional benefits such as cashback and discounts on your purchases or complimentary access to airport lounges.
Choice of Payments:
While many credit cards are generally restricted to certain payment modes, many others can allow you to pay across different digital channels for online credit card payment.
Card fees & Charges:
Credit cards will have slightly different interest rates depending on the bank or the provider that offers the card. Therefore, always compare the interest rates before you choose a credit card.

Credit Card Eligibility

If you have applied for an Axis Bank Credit Card, your eligibility will depend largely on the following factors – age, income and residential status (whether you are an Indian resident or NRI). You will have to show documents as proof of these eligibility conditions. For instance, salary slips or Income Tax Returns for your income, PAN, Aadhaar, passport or driver’s license for identity proof, and so on. Additionally, the bank may also look at your credit score and credit history to determine if you are eligible for a credit card.

Fees and Charges

Credit Cards have certain fees that you must be aware of. These may vary depending on the card variant you hold. Some common credit card fees are joining fee, annual fees, late payment fees, over-limit penalties, cash withdrawal fees, rent transaction fees, foreign currency transaction fees, etc. Do check the fees when selecting a credit card.

Interest Rates

If you repay your credit card dues in full every month, before the due date, then you don’t have to pay an interest rate on your credit card outstanding amount. But if you carry forward any amount of your credit card due, then you do incur an interest rate on the pending amount. This interest rate on credit cards is typically between 3% and 4% monthly. The interest rate on credit cards is applicable in the case of the following situations: if you convert credit card transactions into EMIs, if you pay only the minimum amount due, if you pay an amount lower than the total outstanding amount or if you don’t make any payment. Since credit card interest rates are higher than other unsecured loans such as personal loans and secured loans, such as loans against FD or loans against securities, it is advisable to pay your credit card dues in full and within the due date as far as possible.

How does a credit card work?

Credit cards are one of the universally used and convenient ways to pay for your purchases.

Working of a credit card:

When you apply for a credit card, the bank issues you one with a set credit card limit. This is the maximum credit limit the bank is willing to give you.
When you make a purchase using a credit card, the details are sent to your bank and the merchant's bank. Upon verification, your bank processes the transaction and makes the payment to the merchant’s bank. The corresponding amount from your credit balance is reduced.
The bank sends a credit card bill listing details of all the transactions made during the period, the bill amount, the Minimum Amount Due, the due date, etc. The Minimum Amount Due refers to the amount that must be paid to continue using this facility.
The interest-free period is the time between the actual purchase and payment. No interest is charged during this period.
If you fail to pay the bill in full, the balance is carried forward to the next bill and interest is charged.
