What Is A Credit Card?

A credit card is a financial instrument that has a pre-loaded balance that the cardholder can use to make transactions and pay for them later. The card issuer will let you pay off the balance fully, interest-free, for up to 50 days from the date of payment. To avoid any fines, the cardholder can pay the minimum amount due (which can be anywhere between 5% to 10% on the total amount owed). The balance, however, will be carried forward to the next month, and interest set by the credit card company will be levied.

How does A Credit Cards work?

A credit card gives you more time to pay for your purchases. Every time you purchase on your credit card, you are in effect borrowing that money from the credit card issuer until you pay it back at the end of the month. Here are some things to know before you get your own credit card

  1. Credit card companies give credit cards to individuals who have a consistent income
  2. If you have a good credit score, you can get a credit card easily
  3. You can obtain a credit card against your fixed deposit.
  4. As a credit card holder, you will be allocated a credit limit, which will be 3 to 5 times of your net monthly salary. This will vary across different banks.
  5. Although a credit card is provided by popular banks, the payment gateway is facilitated by Visa, MasterCard and RuPay. However, these payment facilitators cannot set other terms and conditions on the card. Features such as minimum due amount, interest rate, reward points, etc., are fixed by credit card issuers.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will soon allow banks to issue RuPay Prepaid Forex cards for use at point-of-sale (PoS) machines, online merchants abroad, and ATMs. This decision marks an important step in expanding the reach and usage of RuPay cards worldwide. So, how will the globalization of the RuPay credit card help while travelling abroad? Preloading a Forex card locks in exchange rates and is one of the safest options to use abroad. They guard you against rate volatility and fluctuations. Moreover, forex cards do not incur extra foreign exchange markup fees if you use the card for the same currency with which you have loaded it. These features provide additional payment options for Indian travellers and facilitate financial inclusivity. However, card users also have to pay 20 percent TCS (tax collected at source) if they spend more than Rs. 7 lakhs at 20 percent from July 1. Further, these cards charge you for ATM withdrawals and balance enquiries, and have a daily withdrawal limit. So, you have to exercise caution while using a prepaid card abroad.

The government has relaxed the TCS rules on international debit and credit card transactions up to Rs. 7 lakhs. Starting from July 1, 2023, individuals doing international transactions up to Rs. 7 lakhs will be free from the 20 percent TCS levy. This exemption will also exclude these transactions from the liberalized remittance scheme (LRS) limits of $250,000 per annum. This exemption aims to avoid the imposition of taxes on small transactions and bring relief to individuals who frequently have to make transactions abroad. But, this exclusion is applicable only to transactions made by individuals and does not include transactions charged to institutional or corporate credit cards. Currently, overseas medical treatment and education expenses up to Rs. 7 lakhs a year are excluded from TCS. A 5 per cent tax is levied on expenses more than Rs. 7 lakhs. The rate of TCS is 0.5 per cent for those who availed of education loans. The ministry said that the existing beneficial TCS treatment for education and health payments will also continue.
