No Cost EMI FAQ

What is No Cost EMI?

No Cost EMI promotion enables customers to purchase products at no additional charges by paying the product price equally divided over the repayment timeline. For example, if a customer purchases an INR 9,000 item for a three-month tenure, the customer will pay INR 3,000 every month for three months, amounting to a total of INR 9,000.

Who funds the No Cost EMI promotions? Can I choose the tenure as per my choice?

These promotions are 100% funded by participating sellers. As a seller you can choose the tenure you prefer as per your choice. For Example: A seller can choose only the “3 Month” tenure also or a seller can choose “3,6,9” also.

What is the amount which will be charged?

As a seller, you will bear the promotion cost, unless specified explicitly at the time of promotion creation. The promotion cost is dependent on the tenure and the bank chosen by the customer at the time of placing a No Cost EMI order.
