It won't affect your score/history but you can use these cards for making an impeccable credit history,even if you have 1Re bill on your card and pay it off. It's considered as a payment and number of payments done on time,shows there in CIBIL history.

No , it does not impact your score and you don't need to pay something every month even the statement is 0 or -ve
