Withdrawal Limits

Your Credit Limit and Cash Limit will be communicated to you at the time of card issuance. These limits will be mentioned in your monthly statements.

Available credit limit is calculated by deducting the utilised limit from the Total Credit Limit. “Available Credit Limit” or “Available Cash Limit” is the limit up to which you can make purchases or withdraw cash from an ATM respectively.

Cash limit is a subset of your credit limit i.e. up to 20% of your Credit Limit and is assigned based on your usage patterns, payment behaviour and credit history. It will only be activated after 180 days from the date of issuance of the Edge-Federal Card. After this 180 day period, your cash limit will be made available at the sole discretion and on such terms as may be communicated by Federal Bank from time-to-time.

Billing Statement

Your billing statement will be generated every month and sent to your registered email address (Refer to the MITC or Jupiter App for the exact dates based on your Billing cycle) It will contain a break-up of all fees, purchases, interest charges, repayments, refunds and taxes. In case the card was not used during the billing cycle, the billing statement will mention there were no spends in that month.

Minimum Amount Due

When you receive your Edge-Federal Card statement, you can choose to pay the total amount due or or the Minimum Amount Due. Minimum Amount Due stated in the monthly statement shall be calculated as per the following formula:

5% of the total amount due 

EMI amount billed for the month
+
100% of any fees, interest, charges and taxes 

If the minimum amount due is less than ₹500, you’ll be charged 500 as the minimum amount due. If the total amount due is less than ₹500 then the total amount due value becomes the minimum amount due.

The Minimum Amount Due should be paid before the Payment Due Date. The remaining balance can be carried forward to subsequent months. Note, that paying the minimum amount due would still incur you finance charges on the unpaid bill amount.

Method of payment

You can pay the outstanding dues from the mobile app using the following modes:

• Auto-debit from your  bank account

• Bank transfer from your bank account

• UPI payments (up to ₹2 lakh or any other such amounts prescribed from time to time) from any virtual payment account added to the Jupiter App.

• Via debit card and net banking through any bank account using a unique payment link sent to you via SMS and email

Federal Bank has the right to add/remove any methods of payment at any time.

Interest-Free (grace) period

Interest-free period, from the start of the billing cycle date, shall be 13 - 47 days (depending on the date of the transaction). However, the interest-free period will not be available if you fail to pay the total amount due of the previous month. The payment due date for the Edge-Federal Credit Card comes at least 14 days after the Statement Generation Date (Please check your statement for your exact Payment Due Date). Therefore, the interest free credit period can range from 13 - 47 days depending on the date of your credit card transaction.

Illustrative Example for Interest-Free Period Calculation

For a statement for the period from May 1, 2023 to May 30, 2023 the payment due date would be Jun 15, 2023. Assuming that you have paid the Total Amount Due of the previous month statement by the payment due date, the grace period would be:

  1. For a purchase dated May 2, 2023, the interest-free grace period is from May 2, 2023 to June 15, 2023, i.e. 45 days.
  2. For a purchase dated May 30, 2023, the interest-free grace period is from May 30, 2023 to June 15, 2023, i.e. 17 days.

Thus, the grace period can vary depending upon the date of purchase.

Note:

  1. If the Total Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date, then there will be no interest free period.
  2. For cash advances, interest is charged from the date of the transaction until the date of payment.
  3. There is an additional three day period (as mandated by the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) post the payment due date during which if you make a repayment, it is considered a timely repayment.

Illustration of Interest Charges

  1. Interest will be charged if the Total Amount Due (“TAD”) is not paid by the payment due date. Interest will be charged on the outstanding amount due and on all new transactions (from the transaction date) till such time as the total amount due is paid in full.
  2. Additionally, interest will be levied on all cash advances from the date of the transaction until the date of payment.

The following example shows how interest is calculated. In the table given below, it has been assumed that the TAD of the previous month’s statement has been paid by the payment due date and there is no outstanding amount. The statement generation date is the 1st. Given these assumptions, interest will be calculated as shown:
