  2. The excess amount is equal to the EMI: If a service request for part payment is not created or received by the bank on the same day of receipt, the excess amount will be refunded back to your operative account.
  3. The excess amount is less than the EMI: The excess amount will be kept in the loan account for 15 days. Post 15 days, the excess funds shall be adjusted towards the outstanding principal as part payment.
