3. BoB
After EMI conversion, mail them at crm at bobfinancial dot com
Charges - 199 + 35
Tip - Request for Cancellation as soon as transaction converted to EMI as INTREST is charged on daily basis.
4. SBI
Call CC and request.
Charges vary from 0 to 199 for processing fee + GST + 3.54% of outstanding Amount.
Trick - Make outstanding balance in your card 0 after transaction and before EMI conversion, in this case Transaction won't get converted to EMI.
5. HDFC
Login to mycards request for Cancellation from there.
Charges - only 35 rs. ( processing fee of 199 is reversed )
Tip 1 - Never make EMI transaction on HDFC cc if your billing date is within 7 days coz if first EMI is billed, then processing fee is not Reversed.
Tip 2 - After EMI Cancellation, HDFC ask us to pay outstanding within 24 hours but if not done there is also no issues. ( self tested )
6. Kotak
After EMI conversion, first pay the Principal amount in Card, then call cc for Cancellation.
Charges - All charges Reversed Except GST component.
Tip - Always select Highest time Duration of EMI to make the GST component small.
Suggestions are welcome.

This trick works in offline also?
Yes. I tried Axis ace and HDFC Tataneu infinity. All charges reversed and reward points are given too
ONE CARD is worst in EMI Cancellation.
They wont cancel EMI until 1st EMI is updated in statement.
When you call them again after 4-5 days, they wont reverse Interest charged on 1st EMI+ Processing Fees + GST
Federal banks charges a whooping 1% as a processing fee, and a 3% foreclosure fee... Had done a 1L NC-EMI transaction, got charged 1K just as processing fees itself... Other banks in general charge some 199 or so which is fixed, but for Federal it's 99 or 1%, whichever is higher XD
