HDFC Credit Card Limit

HDFC Bank credit cards have made transacting online as well as offline extremely easy. While borrowing becomes a boon, there is a limit to the amount you can spend on your credit card. This limit is known as the HDFC credit card limit and is the total amount the bank is offering you as a line of credit. This is different from the HDFC Bank available credit limit and cash limit.

When you transact using your HDFC Bank credit card, the available credit limit on the card (not the total credit limit) is reduced. This available credit card limit is calculated by subtracting the total dues from the HDFC Bank total credit limit. Hence, making purchases on the card reduces the available credit limit while clearing your dues increases it.

The credit card cash limit forms a part of your total HDFC credit card limit. The cash limit determines the amount of money you can withdraw from the card in the form of cash. However, it is important to remember that HDFC credit card interest charges and credit card cash withdrawal charges are applicable even if you withdraw money within the set limit.

The HDFC credit card limit is based on several factors and varies from one cardholder to another. Some of the important factors include:

• Credit History: This focuses on the use of the borrowed funds and the pattern of repayment in the past.

• Credit Score: Credit score focuses on your capacity to manage credit/debt. The higher the score, the better is your capacity to handle the credit, hence the higher is your HDFC credit card limit.

• Annual Income: If you have higher income and lesser debt, your chances of getting a higher credit limit against your HDFC Bank credit card is more.

• Outstanding Dues: Your pending dues negatively impact your HDFC credit card limit. These dues could be in the form of loans EMIs, outstanding credit card debt, etc.

Keeping a check on your HDFC credit card limit is critical to ensure that you get to use it to the fullest without hampering your credit score or credit history. As a result, the bank offers several methods to check your HDFC Bank credit card limit.
