hmm have you took any loan before?


well if you do you should learn this basics:) no offense



1) secured means with your assets as mortgage, in case if you go bankrupt the bank will put it on bid and raise money by selling your pledged asset


2) unsecured means you dont have any asset in backend as pledge, so this is the highest risk for bank or any financial institution to lend

more than 50k EB bills is like the rotators can't pay for their family and friends , or making few bucks by using it commercially on EB bills for reward points as there is 1% charge now..

@DEEPANGEORGE

Most folks use AGV, for paying utility bills, because sbi cb card doesn't give cb on utility bills.

So, how will that be a problem?

1) 3.5% to 3.75% dont matter for non rotators (I mean full bill payers)

2) more than 50k bills wont matter for most of the users for house hold (for more than 50k household will have more than 1 credit card so that way also dont matter)

i think this is for rotators to make them avoid doing rotation so not major devaluation (just a precaution to reduce overuse of the system)

how come this is an issue?

if anyone is paying full dues, i dont think it will make any difference to rotators as well

It's mentioned,


"3.75% p.m. on all unsecured SBI Credit Cards, Applicable to all retail & cash transactions"

I recently got an SBI credit card through Karnataka Bank. One day, they called and offered it to me just by asking about my salary. Does my card fall under this category?

You might receive an email or message regarding that soon. If not, then there is no harm in confirming over call.
