Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cash advance fee: This is the fee charged every time you withdraw cash using your Credit Card. Typically, it ranges from 2.5% to 3% of the transaction amount, subject to a minimum amount of Rs 250 to Rs 500 and is reflected in the billing statement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pay off your balance in full each month before your grace period ends to avoid interest charges.

Detailed explanation-3: -Divide the 25% purchase APR by days in a year. 0.25 / 365 = 0.00068493 daily periodic rate. Multiply that number by the average daily balance. 0.00068493 x $5, 000 = $3.42465753. Multiply by the number of days in your billing cycle to get your monthly interest charge. 17-Jan-2023
