What is it?
It is a secured credit card, which means it is issued against a collateral of a fixed deposit (FD) with the bank.
How do you get this card?
You can choose the tenor of the FD as well, which means your card will be valid till that tenor. Normally the tenor of the FD is for a year. And the FD gets renewed automatically and hence your card’s validity gets extended automatically.
What do you pay?
Rate of interest: You need to pay 2% per month or 24% per annum. Keep in mind that your FD continues to earn an interest. For instance, currently an FD of ₹ 1 lakh in Development Credit Bank Ltd earns an interest of 10% per annum for a tenor of 18 months.
The fees: The annual fee on this card is ₹ 350. The cash advance (when you withdraw cash through an automated teller machine using your credit card), the fee charged is 2.5% of the cash advance or ₹ 250, whichever is higher. In case you are late on payments, you will be charged ₹ 100. In case your cheque bounces, you will have to shell out ₹ 250. A lost or stolen card would be replaced at a cost of ₹ 150.
