What is the ICICI Credit Card Limit?

ICICI credit card limit is the maximum amount the customer can spend during a billing cycle. The bank sets this limit based on your credit score, income, repayment history, and other financial factors. 

How Does ICICI Bank Decide Your Credit Card Limit?

ICICI Bank evaluates multiple factors before deciding your credit limit:

1. Income and Debt-to-Income Ratio: The bank analyses the customer's gross annual income against existing financial obligations, such as current loans and EMIs, to ensure you have the capacity to repay.
2. Credit Score: Having a higher score (typically 750+) from bureaus like CIBIL qualifies the customers for a higher limit.
3. Usage and Repayment History: Paying credit card bills on time and keeping your credit utilisation ratio below 30% which can lead to higher limits.
4. Bank Relationship: Existing account holders, or those applying for co-branded cards like the Amazon Pay ICICI Card, might be offered generous limits based on their transactional behaviour and savings with the bank.
5. Secured Credit: If the customer lacks a credit history, you can get a secured card backed by a Fixed Deposit (FD).
