I need to finance a purchase of ₹1,50,000. Should I convert the transaction to credit card EMI or take a personal loan? Which is actually cheaper after all charges?

Honestly, the annual fee is on the higher side. But if you spend consistently on the accelerated categories, the cashback more than offsets it. I did the maths on my own statement last year and came out ahead by about ₹3,200.
