Understand the Mathematics of Compound Interest Suppose a person has a credit card bill of Rs 10,000 due and is charged 42 percent interest. The interest will increase by about 3.5 percent every month. Interest charged on your entire amount (Rs. 10,000) every month.

EMI Another way to pay good credit card bill is to talk to the credit card company and convert the outstanding amount into EMI. Suppose the bill is one lakh rupees and you are unable to pay it, you can pay it gradually through EMI.
