ICICI Bank offers a wide range of credit cards tailored to customers based on their creditworthiness, income level, and eligibility. If you already have an ICICI Bank credit card and wish to increase your credit limit, this guide will cover everything you need to know, including how to check and increase your ICICI credit card limit online and offline.

What is the ICICI Credit Card Limit?

Your ICICI credit card limit is the maximum amount you can spend during a billing cycle. The bank sets this limit based on your credit score, income, repayment history, and other financial factors. There are three types of credit limits:

1. Total Credit Card Limit – The maximum amount you can spend using your card. This resets once you clear your credit card dues.

2. Available Credit Card Limit – The remaining balance after deducting your current spending. Your available limit increases when you repay outstanding dues. You can also set a spending cap for security.

3. Cash Limit on Credit Card – A percentage of your total credit limit that you can withdraw as cash during emergencies. Typically, ICICI Bank offers a 20% - 40% cash withdrawal limit, depending on your credit profile.

How Does ICICI Bank Decide Your Credit Card Limit?

ICICI Bank evaluates multiple factors before deciding your credit limit:

1. Type of Card – Premium cards come with higher limits than basic cards. Choose a card that aligns with your needs.

2. Debt-to-Income Ratio – If your existing loans and liabilities are high, your credit limit may be lower. A healthy debt-to-income ratio improves your chances of getting a higher limit.

3. Income Level – A higher income can help you get a card with a higher credit limit, as banks assess your repayment capacity.

4. Credit History – A good credit score (750 and above) and consistent repayment behavior increase your eligibility for a higher limit.
