EMI on Debit Card: How to check eligibility for debit card EMI?

This service attempts to bridge the divide by providing EMI and credit options to debit card users as well. Interested individuals must meet the eligibility requirements set forth by their banks in order to receive Debit Card EMI.

• The card number and registered phone number are used to determine eligibility. As a result, while making a payment, consumers should always use the phone number registered with the bank.
• Customers are not required to have a minimum balance in their accounts in order to place an order. They must, however, verify that their accounts have sufficient funds to pay the monthly EMI.
• The minimum transaction amount for which EMIs on debit cards can be obtained varies per bank. The maximum transaction value is determined by the customer's pre-approved limit.
