Understanding the Break-Even Point

A balance transfer allows you to move high-interest credit card debt to a new card offering a lower promotional interest rate. However, to know if it's actually worth it, you must calculate the break-even point against the transfer fees.

Cost Component	Current Card	New Balance Transfer Card
Interest Rate	High (Usually 36% - 42% APR)	Low Promotional Rate (e.g., 12% - 18%)
Transfer Fee	None (Already incurring interest)	Usually 1% to 2% of the total transferred amount
GST Impact	18% GST on monthly interest	18% GST on the upfront transfer fee + monthly interest

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a balance transfer a good idea for credit card debt?expand_more

It depends on your break-even point. If the interest you save over your payoff period is significantly higher than the upfront processing fee (and the 18% GST on that fee), then it is a financially sound decision. Use our calculator above to find your exact net savings.

What are the typical charges for a credit card balance transfer in India?expand_more

Banks in India typically charge a one-time processing fee ranging from 1% to 2% of the transferred amount. Additionally, you will have to pay an 18% GST on this processing fee. The new promotional interest rate usually ranges from 12% to 18% annually.

Does a balance transfer reduce my CIBIL score?expand_more

Applying for a new credit card to perform a balance transfer involves a hard inquiry, which may cause a temporary, minor dip in your CIBIL score. However, moving debt to a card with a higher limit can lower your overall Credit Utilization Ratio (CUR), which is highly beneficial for your score in the long run.
