What is ICICI Credit Card Limit?

The ICICI credit card limit is the maximum amount the bank permits you to spend from your ICICI credit card during a particular billing cycle. The ICICI Bank determines the limit based on your credit score, income, repayment history, and other factors. 

ICICI Bank provides three credit card limits for credit card users. They are as follows:

• Total Credit Card Limit

It is the total limit that you can utilise or spend on your ICICI credit card. The total credit card limit will be reduced when you utilise the card for financial transactions. Nevertheless, the limit will be restored when you clear the credit card dues. 

• Available Credit Card Limit

The available credit card limit indicates the remaining balance on your card after your spending to date. Once you clear all your outstanding credit card dues, the available limit will increase and be equal to your total ICICI Bank credit card limit. Moreover, you can set the available limit on your card to enhance its safety. 

• Cash Limit on Credit Card

Each ICICI credit card offers a certain percentage of the limit you can withdraw as cash for emergencies. Usually, ICICI Bank offers a cash limit of 20% - 40% of the total credit card limit, depending on your profile and credit card type. 

How is the ICICI Bank Credit Limit Decided?

The ICICI Bank decides your credit card limit at the time of applying for it. Here are a few factors the ICICI bank considers when determining the credit card limit:

• Type of Card

ICICI Bank offers different credit cards depending on your requirements. For instance, if you opt for a basic card, its credit limit will be lower than the premium card. Hence, you must choose an ICICI Bank credit card to align your requirements.

• Debt Level

It is crucial to keep an eye on your debt level. If your debt-to-income ratio is low, the bank will doubt your creditworthiness and grant you a credit card with a lower limit. Hence, it is crucial to maintain a good debt-to-income ratio when applying for an ICICI credit card.

• Income Level

When you want to apply for an ICICI credit card, it is ideal to have a higher income level. The higher your income, the better your chances of getting an ICICI Bank credit card with a higher credit limit.

• Credit History

When you apply for an ICICI credit card, the bank will check your credit history. If your credit score is good and positive, the bank will trust you to sanction a credit card with a higher credit limit.
