As of now, the bank has allowed a transaction amount of above ₹10,000 in easy installments in three, six, or nine months. Also, the bank has added that the EMI facility for PayLater will shortly be extended for online shopping as well.

ICICI Bank has informed how the customers can avail the EMI facility on PayLater:
Customers need to visit any physical store and choose their preferred product or service. To make the payment, use the iMobile Pay app, the official bank app, and choose the ‘Scan any QR’ option.
