Loan on credit card and cibil link

Most credit cards offer two types of loan options to card holders

Loan Against the available Credit Card Limit and Loan Above Credit Card Limit.

Let’s assume a card holder has a card with 1 Lakh limit and is being offered loan under both cases.

In case the user avails option 1 and takes a loan of 1 Lakh let’s assume for 12 months. So does that mean his credit utilization for the card is 100%? That means cibil will take it as a negative even with timely repayment?

In case the user avails option 2 and since it’s a pre approved sort of offer does that show up as another loan in cibil or is combined under the CC account?

From a cibil point of view which of the options are better?
