Santa Claus comes around just once a year. In the meantime, there are Credit Cards.
The limit on your RBL Bank credit is the maximum balance that is available for you. The bank will determine your credit card limit and you can always request the bank to increase it in the future.
Your credit utilisation ratio shows how much credit limit you have used. If the credit utilisation ratio is very high, then a lot of banks will think you are credit hungry. This will in turn affect your credit score. If you have a low credit utilisation ratio, it will show lenders that you know how to manage your finances and you can repay any borrowed amount.
While the total credit limit is the maximum amount that can get on the card, the available credit limit is the amount that you have on the credit card for making purchases (as on a specified date). When you cross the total credit limit, you will be charged a penalty by the bank. The fee is called an over-limit fee.
Your Credit Score:
A higher credit limit will be given to you if your credit score is high and you have maintained the score over a long period of time. The bank will not give you a higher credit limit for your credit card if you have a poor credit score or if have defaulted on your payments.
Income and Debts:
