One of the most distinct benefits of credit cards is the ability to convert payments into EMIs so that you don't have to deal with the financial impact of a large purchase. HDFC Bank is one of the many lenders that would allow you to convert your purchases into EMIs. As a result, when your HDFC credit card payment grows too large, you can quickly convert it to a smart EMI.

In order to convert your payments into EMI’s, you need to check your eligibility first.

  • Login to your HDFC Bank account. NetBanking
  • Select the Smart EMI option from the credit cards page.
  • If you are eligible for the conversion, you will receive an SMS or a phone call with information on the amount, tenure, and interest rate that you are qualified for. 
  • If you're interested in converting, the loan can be booked right away because it's been pre-approved. If you're interested in the conversion by SMS, you can submit the code specified in the SMS for confirmation after accepting the terms and conditions.
