Virtual Credit Card 💳📲
In addition to the physical Federal OneCard Credit Card, you will receive as part of the on-boarding process, a virtual rendition of the same Federal OneCard Credit Card which will be available on the OneCard App.
This virtual card is also a VISA powered credit card so that you can use it for any online or mobile application-based transactions or purchases. The security parameters are set as per industry standards.
A) FEES AND CHARGES 👀
We believe in keeping your life simple and our charges reflect our endeavour in that direction.
As long as you use the Federal OneCard Credit Card within your approved credit limit, and pay the full outstanding by the due date, we wont charge you anything. However, in cases of delays in payments or part payments or using your card beyond the limit, there would be some charges levied.
Here’s a list of these charges:
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applicable on all fees, interest and other charges and is subject to change as and when notified by the Government of India
* Cash Withdrawal from ATMs
You can use the Federal OneCard Credit Card to withdraw cash from ATMs in India and/or overseas (except foreign currency transactions in Nepal and Bhutan) in accordance with the compatibility of the Federal OneCard Credit Card at the said ATM(s). Cash withdrawal charges or ATM withdrawal fee as mentioned above shall be levied on all such withdrawals and would be billed to you in the next/forthcoming Federal OneCard Credit Card statement.
** Interest Free Period
Please remember that this facility of an interest free period will not be available to you if you have not paid the previous month’s outstanding amount in entirety.
*** Interest Rate
At the end of each day, the current balance/outstanding amount will be multiplied by the daily rate to arrive at the daily interest charges, which then get added to your outstanding balance. A simple formula would be as below: ((Number of days X Entire outstanding amount X (Interest rate per month x 12 months))/365 days. Currently, the interest rate on unpaid dues is 41.88% per annum, or 3.49% per month, for all Federal OneCard Credit Card members on their unpaid dues.
Sample Illustration 1 (dues not paid in full)
Purchase: Rs.10,000 on January 15, 2021 Statement Date: February 01, 2021 Total Amount Due: Rs.10,000 Payment Due Date: February 18, 2021
Payment Done: Rs.500 on February 10, 2021
No other transactions in February.
As per the formula shared above, the interest will be charged as follows:
Goods & Services Tax (GST) at the prevailing rate (currently 18%) will be levied on this interest charged, which is Rs. 90.98.
This will be added to the outstanding amount so in your statement on March 01, 2021, the Total Amount Due will be Rs.10,096.41 (Rs.9,500 + Rs. 505.43 + Rs.90.98)
Sample Illustration 2 (Dues revolved, fresh purchase)
Statement Date: March 01, 2021 Total Amount Due: Rs.9,927.23 Payment Due Date: March 18, 2021
Payment Done: Rs.500 on March 10, 2021
New Purchase: Rs.5,000 on March 20, 2021
Interest will be charged as follows:
Goods & Services Tax (GST) at the prevailing rate (currently 18%) will be levied on this interest charged, which is Rs.73.68.
This will be added to the outstanding amount so in your statement on April 01, 2020, the Total Amount Due will be Rs.14,910.24 (Rs.14,427.23 + Rs. 409.33 + Rs.73.68).
Note: These illustrations are meant to be indicative and to show how interest is calculated and charged. Actual amounts can vary depending on specific cases.
The Minimum Amount Due is a variable percentage of Net Debits + Full Over The Limit amount + EMI billed for the month inclusive of EMI interest, fees and taxes + Previous statement unpaid minimum amount dues if any.
The Minimum Amount Due variable percentage can range between (5% - 100%) and will be based upon the cardholder’s repayment status.
**** Late Payment Fee
You are charged a Late Payment Fee if there has been no payment or a payment less than the Minimum Amount Due is received by the Payment Due Date.
Example:
Consider the Total Amount Due (TAD) is Rs.5,000 and Payment Due Date is 4 May, 2020. In case the cardholder does not pay the Minimum Amount Due by the Payment Due Date, a Late Payment Fee of Rs. 250 will be levied on the next bill due date. Late Payment Fee is Rs 250 if the TAD is in the range of 1001-5000 .
Forex Markup Fee:
When you use your Federal OneCard Credit Card to transact in a foreign currency, that transaction amount is converted to Indian Rupees (INR) on the settlement date. This could be different from your transaction date.
If the transaction is not in USD (US Dollars), the amount will first be converted to USD, and then the USD amount will be converted to INR as per rate provided by VISA. On this amount, a forex markup fee will be levied, and GST will be applicable on the markup fee. If this transaction is reversed within 30 days, the markup fee and GST will be reversed to the cardholder.
A forex markup fee will also be levied in case of an Indian Rupee (INR) transaction done at a merchant or payment gateway that is based out of India.
B) DRAWAL LIMITS 💸
Your Credit Limit and Cash Withdrawal Limit are both dynamic. You can request for an increase in your credit limit from the app if you’re eligible for this option. Once approved, this revised amount would be your new Credit Limit.
FPL as authorized by Bank also reserves the right to recommend a credit limit increase to you based on your Federal OneCard Credit Card usage, inside the OneCard app. This recommendation and its associated Terms and conditions will be made available to you to consider before accepting the recommendation.
Once you read and agree to the Terms related to credit limit increase displayed inside the OneCard app and provide your consent to increase the limit, FPL as authorized by Bank will enhance the credit limit on your card. Your acceptance of the limit increase recommendation received through electronic means inside the OneCard app where you specifically validate the limit increase and agree to the MITC will be treated as a consent. FPL as authorized by Bank will keep the digital records of such consent and will treat it as proof of consent in case of any dispute arising later on account of limit increase.
FPL as authorized by Bank will review your account periodically and reserves the right to decrease your credit limit based on your transaction patterns, repayment behaviour and other internal criteria. This will be informed to you via the OneCard app and/or via email and SMS.
“Available Credit Limit” or “Available Cash Limit” is the limit up to which you can make purchases or withdraw cash from an ATM respectively. The Cash Limit is a part of the overall Credit Limit assigned to you though unavailable to cardholders for the time being. An intimation will be shared once it is enabled.
C) BILLING 📅
i) Billing statements (periodicity and mode of sending)
Your billing statement will be generated every month (currently on 20th) and can be modified once to 14th as per your convenience. You can view the statement in the OneCard App. It will contain a break-up of all purchases, repayments, fees, interest charges, refunds and taxes. In case the card was not used in a month, the statement will mention there were no spends in that month. The app also has an option to view the statement in PDF format, which can then be downloaded from the phone.
ii) Minimum Amount Due
When you get your Statement (currently on 20th), you can choose to pay the Total Amount Due (TAD) or the Minimum Amount Due (MAD) as per your statement. The remaining balance can be carried forward to subsequent months. This Minimum Amount Due will be:
i) 5% of the outstanding amount or Rs.100 (whichever is greater) PLUS ii) Previous unpaid minimum amount dues, if any; PLUS iii) Any amount exceeding the credit limit; PLUS iv) Entire amount of any instalments (EMI) due (if/as applicable)
You can also pay the Total Amount Due or an amount between the Minimum Amount Due and Total Amount Due. Payment should be made before Payment Due Date to avoid Late Payment Charges.
When you make a payment, it is adjusted in this order:
Billed Cash Advance Fees with Interest and Taxes ⏩ Billed Purchases with Fees, Interest and Taxes (as applicable) ⏩ UnBilled Cash Advance Fees with Interest and Taxes ⏩ UnBilled Purchases with Fees, Interest and Taxes (as applicable).
Within these, the payment is further adjusted as below:
Taxes ⏩ Fees ⏩ Interest ⏩ Purchases.
If Total Amount Due is less than Rs.100, Minimum Amount Due would be equal to the Total Amount Due, ie. Rs.100.
iii) Refunds/Chargebacks/Reimbursements
You must pay for the transactions billed in the Federal OneCard Credit Card statement to avoid any additional charges being levied. Any refunds, chargebacks or reimbursements which are not shown in the Federal OneCard Credit Card statement, should not be adjusted or reduced by you from the Total Amount Due (TAD) on your own when making the payment. Refunds/chargebacks/reimbursements if any, will be reflected in your Federal OneCard Credit Card Account, as and when such refunds/chargeback/reimbursement are received and these will be adjusted against your dues in your next Federal OneCard Credit Card statement.
