What Happens to EMIs and Rewards After Credit Card Closure
Closing a credit card does not cancel any active EMIs or outstanding dues linked to it. Customers remain responsible for repaying pending EMIs according to their lender's terms, which may include auto-debit from a linked bank account. Unused reward points may expire immediately or within a limited period after closure, depending on the issuer's policy. Cardholders should verify all pending refunds, dues, and reward points before closing to avoid unexpected charges or loss of benefits.
