don't banks grant you limit after checking your cibil and income in the first place? Their risk assesment is made there and then.
What banks grant me after that is their assesment. The limit granted is not in my hand. If bank A has given me a higher limit , then how does that make me a risky profile for Bank B. It should be something positive. I understand if I have high utilization ratio over many cards and untimely/non payments being an issue. In my opinion number of cards one owns or the limit granted is not a risky criteria. I may be shopping around for more cards cos of offers and benefits that product is offering. Obviously how I pay back is a criteria for my risk assesment. I have yet to come across a bank giving real reasons for rejecting a cc application or granting a lower limit. So suggesting higher approved limit as a criteria is misplaced in my opinion
