Most of the IndusInd Bank credit cards have a cash withdrawal facility. What does credit card cash withdrawal facility mean?

As mentioned earlier, IndusInd Bank allows their credit cardholders to withdraw a certain sum of money using their credit cards. The bank decides the cash withdrawal limit which is usually lower than the credit limit available on your card. When you withdraw cash using your credit card, the total outstanding balance including your transactions, cash withdrawals, and fees levied cannot exceed the credit limit.
Generally, IndusInd Bank cardholders assume that the difference between the total outstanding balance and the credit limit is the cash withdrawal limit. However, that is not true. A credit limit is different from the cash limit. The cash withdrawal limit will be around 20-40% of the credit limit. Your available cash limit at any time will be the difference between the total cash limit granted and the total outstanding cash balance due on the card. The available credit and cash limit will differ from one cardholder to another. You could find out the available cash and credit limit on your card in your monthly credit card statements.
As mentioned earlier, the cash withdrawal limit on IndusInd Bank credit cards differs from one cardholder to another depending on the type of card you hold and the credit limit assigned to you. IndusInd Bank sets the maximum cash withdrawal limit on your credit card. Get in touch with IndusInd Bank to know your available cash withdrawal limit or check your recent credit card statement.
Also known as “Cash Advance Fee”, a cash withdrawal fee is a fee charged when a cardholder uses his/her credit card to withdraw cash from an ATM. Currently, IndusInd Bank charges a cash advance fee of 2.5% of the total cash advance withdrawn by the cardholder subject to a minimum of Rs.300. IndusInd Bank waives off the cash advance charge for IndusInd Legend Credit Card. So, if you hold an IndusInd Legend Credit Card, you do not have to worry about the cash withdrawal fee.
Please note that the finance charges or interest rate on credit card cash withdrawals may vary depending on the amount and if you have paid your previous months balance in full.
