Debit Card EMI Eligibility on Flipkart

How can EMI help you?

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment. Using this option, a borrower makes a fixed payment to a lender in small amounts on monthly basis instead of paying the total sum of the money in one go.

Meaning, you can purchase a product without paying its total cost at a time, rather you can pay the minimum amount mentioned and pay the remaining amount on a monthly basis in small instalments.

Which bank Debit cards avail for EMI?

Flipkart has partnered up with Axis Bank, SBI, HDFC and ICICI banks to offer debit card EMI eligibility to its users.

Eligibility for EMI is not decided by Flipkart. Rather the authority to decide your eligibility is in the hands of your Bank.

In addition to these, the interest rate you have to pay would be as per your bank terms. Minimum purchase to be eligible to avail EMI option would differ from one bank to another, ranging from ₹5,000 (ICICI bank) to ₹8,000 (Axis bank & SBI bank) and ₹10,000 (HDFC).

Flipkart doesn’t demand any additional documents from you to get benefits of EMI, if you are approved by the bank.
