This feature has not been launched separately by Flipkart but has been integrated with Flipkart Pay Later.

If you are already using the Pay Later Service, it is most likely that it has been added to your Pay Later account section.

Flipkart issues no official guideline for pay later EMI eligibility.

Flipkart Pay Later EMI Interest Rate

In Flipkart Pay Later EMI, you will have to pay 16 to 22 percent interest, which is much higher than a credit card.

I would not advise you to use Flipkart Pay Later.

Flipkart Pay Later EMI Option Not Showing?

If the Flipkart Pay Later option is not visible in the Flipkart account, there can be many reasons for this.

  1. Whenever we create a new account in Flipkart, it generally does not show the option of Pay Letter for some time.
  2. And if this is not the case, then the Pay Later option may not be visible in your Flipkart account due to a technical fault.

In both these cases, I will advise you to call Customer Care of Flipkart and complain about it.
