How Is It Decided?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you get a credit card, the bank assigns you a <strong>credit limit<\/strong>. This is the maximum amount of credit you can generally use on the card at a given time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if your credit card has a \u20b92 lakh limit and you spend \u20b960,000, you would generally have \u20b91.4 lakh of available credit remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But why does one person get a \u20b950,000 limit while another gets \u20b95 lakh on the same card?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer lies in how the bank assesses your overall credit profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">TL;DR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Credit limit<\/strong> is the maximum outstanding credit your bank allows on your card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your limit is <strong>not necessarily a fixed multiple of your salary<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Banks typically consider your <strong>income, credit score, credit history, existing loans, existing card limits, repayment behaviour and credit utilisation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having multiple cards doesn&#8217;t automatically hurt you, but banks may consider your <strong>total existing credit exposure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A higher credit limit can reduce your credit utilisation if your spending stays the same.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Credit limit \u2260 spending budget<\/strong>.

It simply means that <strong>your total available credit can be part of the bank&#8217;s assessment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Your Total Unsecured Credit Exposure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a strong credit profile and a high income doesn&#8217;t always mean you&#8217;ll get approved for more credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks also look at your <strong>total unsecured credit exposure<\/strong>, including credit cards and unsecured loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, suppose you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u20b910 lakh total credit card limits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u20b95 lakh personal loan outstanding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u20b92 lakh additional unsecured credit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you have a good CIBIL Score and a healthy income, a bank may consider your overall unsecured exposure to be high and decide <strong>not to extend additional credit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is sometimes described as being <strong>\u201coverleveraged\u201d<\/strong> or having excessive existing credit exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some issuers, such as SBI Card, may decline applications where their internal assessment indicates that the applicant already has high unsecured exposure. The exact thresholds and criteria are internal and can vary by applicant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More credit is not always better.<\/strong> At some point, having too much existing unsecured credit can actually make it harder to get another card or loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Your Credit Utilisation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Credit utilisation is the percentage of your available credit that you&#8217;re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic formula is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Credit Utilisation = Outstanding Balance \u00f7 Total Credit Limit \u00d7 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you have a total credit limit of \u20b95 lakh and an outstanding balance of \u20b91 lakh:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u20b91 lakh \u00f7 \u20b95 lakh \u00d7 100 = <strong>20% utilisation<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regularly using a large portion of your available credit can be viewed as a sign of higher reliance on credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, <strong>monthly spending and credit utilisation aren&#8217;t necessarily the same thing<\/strong>. What matters for credit reporting is the balance being reported, which can differ from your total spending during the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Can Your Credit Limit Increase Later?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks may periodically offer existing customers a <strong>credit-limit increase<\/strong>, or you may be able to request one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bank can reassess factors such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Updated income<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repayment history<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Card usage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Credit score<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Existing debt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall relationship with the bank<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, suppose your limit increases from \u20b92 lakh to \u20b95 lakh while your outstanding balance remains \u20b980,000:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><\/th><th>Before<\/th><th>After<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Credit limit<\/td><td>\u20b92 lakh<\/td><td>\u20b95 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Outstanding<\/td><td>\u20b980,000<\/td><td>\u20b980,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Utilisation<\/td><td>40%<\/td><td>16%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your spending hasn&#8217;t changed, but your utilisation has fallen significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Does a Higher Credit Limit Mean More Debt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A higher limit simply gives you access to more credit. You only owe money when you actually use the credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, a higher limit can sometimes be beneficial if your spending remains unchanged because it can reduce your credit utilisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there&#8217;s an important catch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A higher limit is borrowing capacity, not extra income.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you increase your spending just because your bank increased your limit, you could end up taking on debt that you cannot comfortably repay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Credit Limit vs Available Credit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These terms are often confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Term<\/th><th>Meaning<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Credit Limit<\/strong><\/td><td>Maximum credit sanctioned by the issuer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Available Credit<\/strong><\/td><td>Credit currently available to spend<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Outstanding<\/strong><\/td><td>Amount currently owed to the issuer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Credit Utilisation<\/strong><\/td><td>Percentage of your limit currently being used<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u20b93 lakh credit limit \u2212 \u20b975,000 outstanding = <strong>\u20b92.25 lakh available credit<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you repay the \u20b975,000 and the payment is credited, your available limit generally goes back towards \u20b93 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">What Is a Good Credit Limit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no universal &#8220;good&#8221; credit limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For someone who spends \u20b920,000 a month, a \u20b92 lakh limit may be more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For someone who regularly spends \u20b93\u20134 lakh a month, a much higher limit may be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important thing is not to chase the biggest number possible.

Your existing debt, credit history, repayment behaviour and overall credit profile can also affect the limit offered.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787313997359\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I have multiple credit cards with high limits?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. There is no general rule that prevents you from having multiple cards.

Banks may offer a credit-limit increase based on your profile, or allow you to request one. Approval depends on the issuer&#8217;s eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787314021204\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Does increasing my credit limit affect my credit score?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A higher limit isn&#8217;t inherently negative. If your spending remains the same, a higher limit can actually lower your credit utilisation, which can result in a better credit score.
