As you would know, you can use your credit card to withdraw money from an ATM. But, the catch here is that the cash withdrawal feature comes with a fee. A transaction fee or a cash advance fee is charged every time you use a credit card to withdraw money. This amount is added to the bill in the next statement.

HDFC charges a cash advance fee of 2.5% of the withdrawn amount or Rs.500, whichever is higher. For instance, if you have withdrawn Rs.30,000 from your HDFC credit card account, you will be levied a cash advance fee of Rs.750. On the other hand, if you have withdrawn Rs.5,000 you will be charged Rs.500 as the cash advance fee. 

The cash advance fee is subject to change at the discretion of the bank. Besides the cash withdrawal fees, you also have to pay interest on the cash withdrawn.
