Understanding Your Credit Card Billing Cycle and How It Works
Posted on Thursday, December 14th, 2023 | By IndusInd Bank
Welcome to the world of credit cards with IndusInd Bank! Today, we’ll unravel the intricacies of your credit card billing cycle, providing you with a clear understanding of how it works and empowering you to manage your finances more effectively.
Understanding Your Billing Cycle
Your billing cycle is a crucial aspect of your credit card usage. It typically spans a specific number of days, during which you make purchases using your credit card. At the end of this cycle, you receive a statement summarizing your transactions and the total amount due.
Key Phases in a Billing Cycle
- Statement Generation
Your billing cycle begins with the statement generation. This document outlines all transactions made during the cycle. It includes details such as transaction dates, merchant names, amount spent, and the minimum amount due.
- Grace Period
Following the statement generation, you enter a grace period, usually ranging from 20 to 30 days. During this time, you have the opportunity to pay your outstanding balance without incurring any interest.
- Due Date
The due date is the last date which marks the end of the grace period. It’s the deadline for settling your outstanding balance. Failure to pay by this date may result in interest charges.
- Minimum Amount Due
While it’s advisable to pay the entire outstanding amount, there’s also a minimum amount due that must be paid by the due date to avoid late payment fees.
How To Manage Your Billing Cycle Effectively?
- Regular Monitoring
Keep a close eye on your credit card transactions throughout the billing cycle using the IndusInd Bank mobile app or online banking platform.

Ensure timely payments to maintain a positive credit history and avoid interest charges. Set reminders or enable auto-pay options for convenience.
