entire outstanding balance from the date of each purchase if the
total balance is not paid.
 For example, if a user had a Rs.1,000 transaction and repaid it in
full within this grace period, there would be no interest charged. If,
however, even Rs 1.00 of the total amount remained unpaid,
interest would be charged on the Rs 1,000 from the date of
purchase until the payment is received. The precise manner in
which interest is charged is usually detailed in a cardholder
agreement which may be summarized on the back of the monthly
statement.
