Understanding Late Payment Charges
Late payment charges are fees imposed by credit card issuers when payments are not made by the due date. These charges typically include:
- Late payment fees (fixed amount)
- Late payment interest (calculated daily)
- Additional service fees
The exact amount depends on your credit card issuer's policy and how many days your payment is late.
Late Payment Interest Formula:
Late Payment Interest = (Daily Late Payment Interest Rate × Outstanding Balance × Number of Days Late) / 365
SBI Credit Card Late Payment Policy
SBI Credit Cards typically impose the following late payment charges:
| Days Late | Late Payment Fee | Daily Late Payment Interest Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1-15 days | ₹300 | 1.5% per annum |
| 16-30 days | ₹500 | 2.5% per annum |
| 31+ days | ₹1000 | 3.5% per annum |
Additional service fees may apply if your payment remains unpaid for an extended period.
Calculator Example
Let's calculate the late payment charges for a ₹50,000 balance that was paid 20 days late:
- Late Payment Fee: ₹500 (since 16-30 days late)
- Daily Late Payment Interest Rate: 2.5% per annum (0.025/365 ≈ 0.000068493%)
- Late Payment Interest: (0.000068493 × 50,000 × 20) ≈ ₹6.85
- Total Late Payment Charges: ₹500 + ₹6.85 = ₹506.85
This example shows how quickly late payment charges can add up, especially for larger balances.
