Paying the “Minimum Amount Due” on your credit card feels like a win. You avoided the late fee, right? 🎩✨
Actually, it’s one of the smartest traps the banking system ever invented.
When you only pay the minimum, your payment barely covers the compounding monthly interest (which usually sits between 36% and 42% annually). The actual principal amount you owe remains almost entirely untouched.
If you have a ₹50,000 bill and only pay the minimum, it can take you over 10 years to clear that debt—and you will pay more than double the original amount in interest charges! 📉
This is exactly how borrowers end up on a financial treadmill that eventually leads to ballooning debt, ruined CIBIL scores, and recovery calls. 🛑
