Cycle 1 (11 Apr - 10 May)

Statement Date 10th May
Payment Due date 28th May

Cash was withdrawn from ATM on 17th Apr for Rs. 20000 at a Grocery Store

TAD = Opening balance +Current Month Cash Advance + Interest + Fees - Payments

Rs. 20600 = 0 + Rs. 20000 + 0 + 600 - 0

MAD = 5% of TAD

Rs. 1000 = 5% of Rs. 20000

Interest Charged = No Interest is charged

Cycle 2 (11 May - 10 Jun)

Statement Date 10th Jun
Payment Due date 28th Jun

Option 1 (Payment = TAD)

Payment of last months TAD of Rs. 20600 is made on 28th May.

Interest calculations:

Interest Rate = 3.50% pm = 3.50%*12/365 per day = 0.1150% per day

TAD = Opening balance + Current Month Purchases+ Interest + Fees - Payments

Rs.0 =Rs. 20000 + 0 +  0 + 600 - Rs. 20600

MAD = 5% of TAD

Rs.0 = 5% of 0

No Interest being charged as the total payment for cash withdrawn was made before the payment due date.

Option 2 (Payment = MAD)

Interest calculations:

Interest Rate = 3.50% pm = 3.50%*12/365 per day = 0.1150% per day

Rs. 20406.07 =Rs. 20000 + 0 + Rs. 806.07 + Rs. 600 - Rs. 1000

MAD = 5% of TAD

Rs. 1020.30 = 5% of 20406.07

Interest will be charged on Rs. 20000 till the part payment date and interest would be charged on the remaining amount
i.e. Rs. 19000 till the time cash balance is settled in customer's account.

Option 3 (MAD < Payment < TAD)

Payment of last months MAD of Rs. 10000 is made on 18th May.

Interest calculations:

Interest Rate = 3.50% pm = 3.50%*12/365 per day = 0.1150% per day

TAD = Opening balance + Current Month Purchases+ Interest + Fees - Payments

Rs. 11396.24 =Rs. 20000 + 0 + Rs. 796.24 + Rs. 600 - Rs. 10000

MAD = 5% of TAD

Rs. 569.81 = 5% of 11396.24
