I got my bill generated from SBI last month for a total of 3k due on 7th November. I had two cancelled orders from Amazon for which I received a refund of 18k on 19th October. I made another purchase for 12k to replace the cancelled order. Even after all of this, I still had 3k excess to my original credit limit.
I then raised a credit refund request with SBI on 24th October to refund the excess amount to my Savings account, which they did. But the problem is, I noticed a late payment fee charge on my SBI card yesterday. I didn't even get any sms/email about the charges (or) reminders to pay the bill. Worse yet, I didn't have anything pending because of the refund and they didn't have any qualms when I requested a excess refund. I have now raised a complaint with SBI, but not sure how this will turn out.
This even goes against the FAQs listed on their website:
"The card holder will get 2nd Nov statement showing Rs. 10,000 as total amount due. The customer receives a refund of Rs. 9400 for the transaction done in previous cycle from the merchant on 10th Nov. This refund amount will be adjusted against the total amount due. The cardholder needs to make payment against the outstanding on or before 22nd Nov, i.e. 20 days from the Statement Date, for any amount between the outstanding amount or Minimum Amount Due. Since credit amount arising out of refund is greater than Minimum Amount Due, the cardholder will not be charged with Late Payment Charge."
