A credit card is a plastic card which a bank provides you with a credit limit that you can use for different payments both online and offline. The bank, after the stipulated time as per the agreement, sends you a bill for the limit used which you can make a full payment without any interest or transfer it to EMI with added interest as per terms of the agreement.
