Frequently asked questions

How do I apply for the HDFC Smart EMI?+

You can apply online through the issuer's website. SurfBP links you to the official application form — the final decision rests with HDFC Bank.

Will applying impact my CIBIL score?+

A formal application triggers a hard enquiry which may temporarily reduce your CIBIL score by a few points. Apply only when you genuinely need the card.

What happens if I miss a payment?+

Late payments attract interest (typically 36–46% p.a.), late fees, and can damage your credit score. Always pay at least the minimum amount due by the due date.
