what is 12-month instant EMI with zero down payment and zero processing fee ?
Shubham, that means you don’t need to get your EMI scheme approved by your bank. Just show your ICICI or Standard Chartered credit card to the store staff in a Samsung store and tell them that you want to buy one of these phones and avail this scheme. You’ll get the phone without paying any money on-the-spot and your credit card statement will be charged a monthly EMI for the next 12 months depending on the cost of the phone.
Zero processing fee means that your bank won’t charge you any extra fee for entering this EMI scheme.
Hope this helps, and hope you found this post useful :)
How can I get 15% cashback on this?
Sumit, if you use an ICICI or a Standard Chartered credit card to buy one of these devices and tell the store guy that you want to avail this scheme, you will automatically get 15% cashback in your credit card statement :)
ICICI and Standard Chartered have joined hands with Samsung for this offer.
what is cash back on this is it cash discount?
No, cashback isn’t cash discount. Cashback refers to the money that is credited to your credit card’s statement as a part of an offer.
In this case, if you use an ICICI or a Standard Chartered credit card to buy any of the Samsung devices listed above, you will be entitled to a cashback equal to 15% of the cost of the device.
Can I order it online and get the cash back?
Yes Sunny, as far as we know, you can avail this offer on Flipkart. But we are not sure about other e-commerce websites. Do you have any specific website in mind where you want to make a purchase from?
Note: For Flipkart, make sure that you have your chosen Samsung device as the *only item* in your cart before proceeding to the payment screen.
it mean I get 15% cash back and 12-month instant EMI with zero down payment and zero processing fee (both offers)
Yes Manish, that is absolutely correct! You will get all these benefits :) But this offer expires on Apr 30. So just 3 days left.
i have already purchased samsung galaxy tab 2 p3110 by icici credit card
but i don’t now how to pay EMI and after it how can i get my 15% cash back?
Chetan, did you tell the shopkeeper before buying the tablet that you want to avail this offer? Also, when did you buy your tablet? As far as we know, this offer was introduced on Apr 14 and will expire tomorrow.
“Minimum value of transaction should be rs 10k”
can clearify this condition
Ravi, can you please point us to the webpage or another source that states this condition?
Can I use icici credit card american express for buy samsung device
Sumit, this offer is valid across all ICICI and Standard Chartered credit cards. So from our understanding, you should be able to avail this offer on an ICICI card that’s affiliated to American Express too. However, it might be a good idea to confirm this with ICICI’s customer care before you make your purchase, as this is a special case.
Btw, this offer expires today. So hurry and all the best! :)
any offer is available now????
i want to buy galaxy grand….
Dharmesh, even though the cashback scheme is over, some 0% interest and zero processing fee EMI schemes are still around. For example, Flipkart is giving zero fee EMIs on Galaxy Grand Duos till May 10th. Are you looking to buy online or offline?
Hi, I have purchased galaxy tab 2 from flipkart with icici credit card on apr 29 and iam sure chosen 12 months emi aswell, but my credit card bill is reflecting 15999 due to be paid by 20th may 2013. How can I resolve this issue. Please suggest
Naresh, you should call ICICI’s customer care immediately and inform them about this. We’re sure they will be able to help you out.
This Scheme is Valid up to Which Date
Akeel, this offer expired on Apr 30th, but Flipkart and some offline stores are still giving EMIs for these phones at 0% interest and zero processing fee.
cash back scheme now going on can i get this scheme pls inform me at sanjeevmcab@gmail.com as soon as
Sanjeev, the cashback scheme is over now. However, 0% interest and 0 processing fee EMI schemes are still available till the end of this month. Please read this post for more information: http://bit.ly/13JCLvi
Flipcart and other online stores are giving attractive discount on these products to match up the expired 15% cash back scheme. Take a look.. new models have been added to scheme.
example.. galaxy S3 is approx 30500/- and after 15% cash back you wud have got it in 26000/- approx when 15 % cash back was valid i.e. before 1st May. Now Flipcart is giving it with 0% interest, 0%processing, on 12 & 6 month EMI, at 0% down payment on same offer and the consolidated price for galaxy s3 it’s offering is 27500/- :-) so, u are just giving 1500/- more compare to 15%cash back offer, still u can save 3500/- on flipcart.
what say guys.. go for it as new models have been added and most of the credit cards are eligible for the offer.
Yup, that’s true Vishal. In fact, have a look at our updated post that outlines these new offers: http://bit.ly/13JCLvi. Most of these are in collaboration with Samsung only.
I can’t get galaxy note 2. By swiping my credit card of standard charterd wht s the prblm
Sachin, we didn’t understand the problem you’re facing. Are you not able to pay using your card, or are you not being able to avail this scheme?
i want to buy samsung grand by using icici credit card in 12 mon emi. is it possible to get a 15% cashback offer.
Siva, the cashback scheme expired on Apr 30, but you can still get a 0% interest / processing fee 12-month EMI scheme. Read this post for details: http://bit.ly/13JCLvi.
I haven’t got the 15% cashback till now, purchased the phone on 25-April. Please help.
Aki, which card did you use to make the payment for your phone?
I used my StanC credit card!
Then you should be eligible for the cashback. Did you inform the store staff about availing this offer before making the payment? If you did, then you should receive your cashback in your next month’s credit card statement as a credit to your card. That’s how cashback usually works. You can read our FAQs on cashback for more information: http://bit.ly/ZgLdmg
Also, for specific clarifications regarding your case, you should talk to StanChart’s customer care and explain everything in detail to them, because in the end, they are the ones who will be giving you the cashback.
Please let us know if you have more questions :)
Can we use sbi , axis credit card for 12 month OWN NOW emi on buying galaxy note II ?
If yes than how the process goes on.?
Yes Richard, you can use an Axis or an SBI card for availing the 12-month EMI scheme. Here’s the list of all the banks who are participating in this offer: http://bit.ly/13JCLvi
You just have to inform the store staff that you want to avail this offer before you make the payment.
Please clear my confusion….
1. I want to buy Galaxy note II on 12 month emi but if i hav balance of 15k in my sbi credit card than can i use these scheme ?
2. How the transaction will be done?
Since you’re paying by EMI, you should be able to make the transaction even if your card has only 15K credit in it, because your phone’s first EMI won’t exceed 15K for sure :) The full list of banks that are supporting this scheme is here: http://bit.ly/13JCLvi
For this process to be completed, please inform the store staff that you want to avail this offer before you make the payment. If there’s any difficulty at the store’s end, then you should talk to your bank’s customer care and explain your problem to them.
All the best :)
Is the offer valid on only Icici and standard chartered credit cards?
Ricky, this offer has expired now, but variations of this offer are still valid till the end of this month. Please read these two follow-up posts written by us to know the details of the offers:

Can I buy a Samsung tab 2 or tab 3 as well with 12 emi offer ….
Amit, the no fee EMI offer expired on May 31. You can still buy a tab 2 or tab 3 on an EMI scheme, but you may have to pay a nominal processing fee for that. If you tell us which credit or debit card you use, we should be able to help you with more information.
I got a Samsung Grand on April 30th with the STC credit card. But I have oly the credit card not any other type of (Savings/Current) account with the bank. How & when I will get the cashback.?
Vasanth, the cashback will reflect in your credit card statement itself in the form of a credit given to you by your bank. However, this is assuming that STC stands for Standard Chartered. If you used another bank’s card, please let us know.
Does this scheme zero downpayment means they will not charge the full amount at credit card or they will charge the whole amount at one go.i dnt understand this.incase if my credit limit is 25k n if i use 20k will i still be able to buy kya.
Sania, zero down payment means that you won’t have to pay anything when you buy the phone by entering into an EMI scheme. They won’t charge the whole amount in one go. You will be paying the monthly EMI cost on a monthly basis. When you say that “if you use 20K”, are you referring to the fact that you have already made purchases for 20K using your card this month?
Hi,i wana buy samsung galaxy grand by using ICICI credit card…..will that offer is available now…..
