How Late Payment Charges Work

HDFC Bank applies late payment charges to credit card accounts when payments are not made on time. The charges vary depending on how many days the payment is late:

1-15 days late: 1.5% of the missed payment amount
16-30 days late: 2.5% of the missed payment amount
31-45 days late: 3.5% of the missed payment amount
46+ days late: 4.5% of the missed payment amount

In addition to the late payment charges, HDFC Bank may also apply a minimum charge of ₹50 if the late payment amount is less than ₹500.

Note: HDFC Bank's late payment policy may change. Always check the latest terms and conditions on the HDFC Bank website for the most accurate information.

Formula Used

The late payment charges are calculated using the following formula:

Late Payment Charges = (Missed Payment Amount × Late Payment Rate) + Minimum Charge (if applicable)

Where:

Missed Payment Amount = The amount of the missed payment
Late Payment Rate = The applicable late payment rate based on the number of days late
Minimum Charge = ₹50 if the missed payment amount is less than ₹500, otherwise ₹0

Worked Example

Let's say you missed a payment of ₹2,000 on your HDFC credit card, and the payment was 20 days late. Here's how the late payment charges would be calculated:

Missed Payment Amount = ₹2,000
Number of Days Late = 20 days
Late Payment Rate = 2.5% (for 16-30 days late)
Late Payment Charges = (₹2,000 × 2.5%) + ₹0 = ₹50

In this example, the late payment charges would be ₹50.
