Too much limit will never backfire , infact it is a good thing
Higher credit limit with less utilisation ratio , gives a perception non credit hungry profile which in turn makes you eligible for higher loans with better interest rates

Cibil shows 31lakhs. But as hdfc does not report the limits actual is 41lakhs

A higher credit limit with a lower utilization ratio for a long period of time will definitely give you good credit worthiness.

But if you achieve higher credit limits, say 2-3x your annual ITR, in a short span of time, you may face some difficulty getting high limits on new applications (cards, loans, etc.). Even if the loan is secured, a high debt-to-income ratio achieved in a short span will make you look credit hungry.

Sometimes these limits are bogus values, with shared card limits projecting a high overall limit even though the aggregate limit is less.

 

[CC-Muncher]

good.

How much is yours? Just trying to understand average credit limit.

Even if the loan is a secured one, a high debit to income ratio achieved in short span will make you look like credit hungry.

Oh! I Did not know that. Thanks for sharing this 👍

 

[CC-Muncher]

Also, which BOB card is offered LTF?
The BOB site says few cards as LTF but has some conditions next to it. Its very confusing. Are these really LTF?

I want to have one just for flipkart amazon cashback offers.

Higher credit limit , won’t affect your debt to income ratio.
Debt to income is the amount of emi/fixed loan that you pay against your income
A credit limit is not a debt , but yes if you utilise the amount and then convert the same into EMI then it falls under debt and only then will impact your debt to income ratio
