Ltd. hereinafter called "the Bank" is not charging
any of the above fees. However, in future, if
any charges are applied, the same will be communicated
to the Cardmember at the time of applying for
the "credit card".
B. Cash
Advance Fees
The Card member can use the Card to access cash
in an emergency from ATMs in India or abroad.
A transaction fee of 2.5% (Minimum Rs.250 for
BOR ATMs, Rs.350 for other ATMs) would be levied
on the amount withdrawn and would be billed to
the Cardmember in the next statement. The transaction
fee is subject to change at the discretion of
"the Bank". All cash advances also carry a finance
charge of 2.95% per month (41.75% APR) from the
date of withdrawal until the date of full payment.
The finance charge is subject to change at the
discretion of "the Bank".
C.
Charges
i. Charges and fees, as may be applicable from
time to time, are payable by Cardmembers for specific
services provided by "the Bank" to the Cardmember
or for defaults committed by the Card member with
reference to his card account.
ii. "The Bank" retains the right to alter any
charges or fees from time to time or to introduce
any new charges or fees, as it may deem appropriate,
with due intimation to customer.
D. Interest
Free Period
The interest free credit period could range from
15 to 45 days subject to the scheme applicable
on the specific credit card (please refer to the
Schedule of Charges) and the submission of claims
by the merchant. However, this is not applicable
if the previous month's balance has not been cleared
in full or if the Cardmember has availed of cash
from ATM.
For instance, The Bank of Rajasthan Ltd. International
Gold Credit Card has a maximum interest-free Credit
Period of 45 days. This means that a customer
who has a billing date of 3rd of the month can
spend on his Card from 4th April to 3rd May, his
bill will be generated on 3rd May and his Payment
Due Date will be 18th May. Hence a purchase made
on 4th April will have a credit period of 44 days,
while a purchase made on 1st May will have a credit
period of 17 days. This period will be free of
interest only if all previous dues are paid in
full and there is no unpaid balance carried over
from previous months.

the Cardmember's Credit limit and cash withdrawal
limit. (Add-on Cardmembers share the same limit).

at the time of card delivery and in the monthly
statements. The available credit limit at the
time of the statement generation is provided as
a part of the monthly statement. "The Bank" will
review the Cardmember account periodically, and
increase or decrease the Cardmember credit limit
based on internal criteria. Cardmembers seeking
to have their credit limit increased can do so
by writing to the Bank and providing financial
documents declaring their income. The Bank, at
its sole discretion and based on such new documents
provided, may increase the Credit Limit of the
Card member.
3. Finance Charges / Interests
i. Finance charges are payable at the monthly
percentage rate on all transactions from the date

are debited to the Cardmember's account till the
outstanding on the card is paid in full.
ii. Finance charges on cash advances are applicable

is made in full.
iii. When the customer carries forward any outstanding
amount or avails of Cash Advance, a finance charge
calculated by average Daily Balance Method, will
apply to balances carried forward and to fresh
billings.
iv. If a Cardholder avails the revolving credit
facility of the The Bank of Rajasthan Ltd Credit
Card and hence chooses to pay an amount less than
the total amount due reflected in the monthly
billing statement, the entire outstanding amount

will also attract finance charges till such time
as the previous outstanding amounts are repaid
in full.
