I already have received one flight voucher, but i don't have 5l limit, having only 3l, will they consider upgrading it?

Or can you tell me alternative ways to get upgrade

First try directly mailing for upgrade. If doesn't work then Income documents for manual LE can be tried.
Else check if your eligible through alumni program. They might make exception on that basis.
If this doesn't work, only option is to increase limit through FD lien.

Is the alumni program still available? It was mentioned in some thread that alumni program has been discontinued.
