Yess, got the card in july

Now max all using the BBPS to settle the Credit Card Payments.

So you can't pay your bill before it generation.
But if you want to pay bill to decrease your utilisation below 30% then Use the CRED app to pay your bill.

Pay from sbi card app or by NEFT

 

[Sriim]

Can't prepay with debit card rewards before 1st bill generation. Can clear outstanding anytime in SBI after first bill is generated.

As suggested by others, cred or neft is the way to go for you now

Chill. Itna mat socho.

You have only SBI in your portfolio ?

Overall utilization % matters across cards.

firstly you don't need to worry about the amount due on bill generation date...
SBI reports the due amount 3 days after your due date... so even if you have used 90% and paid in full before due date then no hit CIBIL.....
SBI is the only weird bank who works like this

As far as pre payment is concerned :
If your importance is Rewards on CC pyament , you need to wait and pay the amount after bill is generated. However,
if your importance is about getting % utilization below 30% or whatever you wanted it to be, then pay in the SBI Cards app / or CRED right now ,if it is allowing you..

thanks for the post! , guess i'll take a chance and wait until bill generation

 

[SSV]

I'm confused. I've heard they report on the bill generation date
View attachment 64261

Yes,. they report balance as on bill generation date.. but reported date will be as on due date+3 days.

so no need to worry as long as I pay within those 3 days after bill generation?

 

[SSV]

so no need to worry as long as I pay within those 3 days after bill generation?

I will give you an example:

your CL : 3L
your bill date : Aug 1
your balance as on Aug 1 : 2L

due date: Aug 19:
balance as on aug 19 : 0



For this month, the CIBIL report for this account will look like:

CL: 3L
current balance: 2L
Reported date: Aug 22...


utilization will be: 66.67%

 

[SSV]

so no need to worry as long as I pay within those 3 days after bill generation?

all your doubts cleared ??
