| Cost | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Cash requested | ₹ amount you need |
| Cash-advance fee | Issuer’s current fixed/percentage fee and minimum |
| Taxes on applicable fees | Use current tax treatment shown by issuer |
| Finance charges | Use issuer rate and actual days outstanding |
| ATM/overseas/forex charges | Add where applicable |
Then compare the total with alternatives: debit-card cash, bank overdraft, a small pre-approved loan or another lawful lower-cost source. The comparison should use the exact number of days you expect to carry the balance.
