Introduction with story: One of my clients, Sanjay Yadav, a young HR manager from Alwar, Rajasthan, walked to a premium mobile store to purchase the latest iPhone 16 Pro.
The retail price was around ₹1,21,000. He had been eyeing it for months, saving a part of his salary. He could afford a ₹30,000 down payment but wasn’t ready to empty his savings.
The salesperson explained the EMI options and how much he needed to pay every month, but Sanjay still hesitated, so, for help, he called me, and I recommended him the Easemoney mobile calculator for better calculation of the monthly EMI after downpayment, interest rate, and GST tax.
Sanjay chose a no-cost EMI scheme with a tenure of 12 months and walked out with the phone of his dreams.
What is EMI on a Smartphone Purchase?
An EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is a fixed monthly payment made towards repaying a loan taken to purchase something—in this case, a smartphone. It allows users to enjoy the benefits of high-end devices like iPhones, Samsungs, OnePlus, etc., without paying the full amount upfront.
Most banks and Companies like Bajaj Finance, Snapmint, HDFC Bank, Zestmoney, and TVS Credit allow users to buy phones on an EMI Facility and pay in small monthly amounts for easy shopping.
Eligibility, Charges, and How It Works in India
In India, both online platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, Apple Store, Croma, Reliance, TATA Neu) and offline stores offer EMI schemes and even a no-cost EMI facility. You usually need a credit card, debit card, EMI option, or a tie-up with financing partners like Bajaj Finserv and Zest Money.
According to The News Express report, the no-cost EMI schemes from Amazon, Flipkart, Samsung, and Apple help to grow 4 per cent of the Indian smartphone market in 2024.
Sometimes, for offline stores purchasing phones, you need to pay at least a 10% down payment first.
- Eligibility: Usually 21+ years of age, stable income, decent credit score.
- Documents: PAN Card, photo, and Aadhar card for address proof
- Processing Fee: Can be 0% to 3%, depending on the provider and banking terms.
- Interest Rate: 0% (no-cost EMI) to 32% or more
- GST: Yes! 18% of GST is applied on the processing fee and interest, if applicable.
- Down Payment: Optional, but it helps reduce the monthly EMI

What Formula Works for Calculating Manually?
If you decide to calculate manually by using a pen and paper, here is the formula to find the results –
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N − 1]
Where:
- P stands for Principal Loan Amount
- R = Monthly Interest Rate (Annual rate / 12 / 100)
- N = Tenure in months
Example: Samsung Android Phone Purchase by Aashish Gupta
- Phone Price: ₹80,000
- Down Payment: ₹20,000
- Loan Amount: ₹60,000 (P)
- Interest: 12% annually => 1% monthly (r= 0.01 (monthly interest rate)
- Tenure: 12 months (n)
- Then calculate instantly –
- Final EMI = ₹5,328 (approx) per month for 12 months
