What is Unbilled Amount in Credit Card?
Posted on Wednesday, June 19th, 2024 | By IndusInd Bank
If you have gone through a credit card statement, you may have come across the term ‘unbilled amount’. After you complete a transaction on the credit card, its history can be seen under the ‘unbilled amount’ category.
So, what is the unbilled amount on a credit card? It refers to the transactions from the credit card that are yet to be processed and added to the credit card statement.
Understanding Credit Card Unbilled Amount
The unbilled amount represents the credit card activity carried out successfully by the cardholder but not yet added to the billing statement.
Let’s take an example to understand this:
Let’s assume you have a credit card whose next billing cycle is the 10th of the upcoming month. You decide to use your credit card on the 3rd of that month and carry out a transaction of ₹ 7000.
So, until the bill comes on the 10th of the month, this ₹ 7000 will show as the unbilled amount. It is because the amount has not yet been billed in a statement.
If you had made another transaction of ₹ 3000 on the 6th of that month, your unbilled amount would have been ₹ 10,000 (₹7000 + ₹3000).
With a clear idea of what an unbilled amount is in credit card statements, let’s see how and where you can check for the same.
How to Check the Unbilled Amount in Credit Card?
Now that you know what the unbilled amount on your credit card means, let’s see how you can check for the same:
1. Access your Net Banking Portal
You can log in to your net banking portal to access your credit card statement. In the statement, you will be able to see the unbilled charges.

Unbilled Amount Vs Outstanding Amount in Credit Card
Unbilled amounts and outstanding amounts of a credit card might seem confusing.
Here’s a table that explains the difference between the two:
| Type of Amount | Meaning |
| Unbilled amount | It is the total amount that reflects all the transactions you have carried out on the credit card but has not been added to the monthly bill yet. |
| Outstanding amount | It is the total billing amount that you must pay to the credit card company. It is also called current balance and can also include unpaid balances retained since the last statement. |
It is advisable to clear any outstanding amounts at the earliest to avoid interest charges and build a good credit score.
Conclusion
Understand the unbilled amount to manage your finances effectively. It allows you to track your spending and have a clear idea of the upcoming credit card statement balance.
