Could someone confirm number of accounts in Cibil when that person hold multiple cards from same bank?

Update -

Standard Charted - 1 account for all cards
ICICI - 3 accounts (1-Amazon, 1-Gemstone Cards, 1-Cobranded)
AXIS - each card 1 account*
SBI - each card 1 account
AMEX - each card 1 account
BOB - each card 1 account
HDFC - each card 1 account
RBL - each card 1 account
INDUSIND - each card 1 account
KOTAK - each card 1 account
IDFC - 2 accounts (1-Core Cards, 1-Cobranded)
HSBC - each card 1 account
CITI - each card 1 account
YES - each card 1 account
AU - each card 1 account

Multiple accounts from same bank means Cibil considers all of them have separate limit. This increases ⬆️ overall limit, decreases ⬇️credit utilization and increases⬆️ potential debt (risk) in Cibil report.

* (in Axis mostly) upgrade is possible only if they have same reward system or through retention team, otherwise its always separate card and/or account in CIBIL

(Note: Original thread (CIBIL Issues) replaced with current topic, just incase if not aware)

Could someone confirm number of accounts reporting in Cibil if you hold multiple cards with them?

TIA.

It will be hard to track exact entries because they could differ on a case to case basis.

You applying for a HDFC card while someone else applying for a HDFC card could have different entries based on the source you applied for.
The agent who's applying, the online platforms that was involved, the bank rep that is processing the application.

Additional factors like if you have an account with the bank and the cards you hold with them.
Some people only get one entry per card while another person might get 2-3 entries per card based on the above factors or human error.

:D I'm taking about CIBIL accounts, not enquiries..

Post is about number of account that bank reports in our CIBIL, if we hold multiple cards from them..

Ex:
StanC - Even if you hold 4 cards, there is only 1 account in CIBIL..
Axis - If you hold 4 cards, it will show 4 accounts.

Modified to avoid confusion.

Someone who hold multiple cards from same bank, could you confirm how many CIBIL accounts are you seeing in your CIBIL report?

Let me know if any new changes in these banks or any other you have? TIA
