Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my recent experiences with credit card limit enhancements and upgrades across different banks. Hopefully, this helps others who are exploring similar options.

Grievance emails work effectively for HDFC enhancements.
Manual enhancement requests (like in SBI) can give significant increases.
IndusInd takes time, but follow-up helps in getting fair limits.
Federal Bank offers smooth upgrades along with limit revisions.
Waiting for ICICI PNO response – if ₹5L approved, will upgrade portfolio further with IDFC Wealth.
