over-leverage can be a reason for any Credit card application Rejection share your thoughts on this

These banks don't issue cc if you are in overleverage
sbi
hsbc
standard charted
idfc.



rest banks don't card that much about it.

SBI for sure, not aware about HSBC, doubt about SC and IDFC as I got their cards at first attempt when I had 20+ cards with CL of 1CR+

but what about salary ? Banks do consider that right like less salary and big card limits

Yes, they do care about salary because that gives you spending power and that is what banks look for. I don't remember when I last submitted salary slip to any bank. Anyone who asks for salary slip, I deny. Try to leverage your CL and don't submit salary slip as much as possible. Having a CIBIL score of 800+ definitely helps 🙂

Yeah it’s a great card for UPI spends. 1% credit utilisation is quite rare for someone and maybe this is the reason why your applications are getting extra attention. If you want a HDFC core Card approved easily, you may open a savings/salary account with them.

1% or less than 1% credit utilization is not so rare. Anyone who has got around 15 cards will typically have less than 1% credit utilization. In my case it is generally less than 0.5% utilization.

Don't worry. My overall CL is 1.8 CR across 30+ cards and I still keep applying new cards and easily get them. What matters more is your CIBIL score and credit history.

I think you are over leveraged not because of CL but because of 0 utilization. How many enquiries do you have in last 3 months and last one year?

Closing cards will not help you. Try to utilize your cards and if you are unable to do so I will happily help you out here 😀 😀

Also please share why do you need an SBI card so desperately?

@SSV - Please help/guide

That would be over-utilization, 100% of credit limit 😀

That can also be a good reason for rejection. Seriously if SBI considers 18L overall CL to be over leveraged, they are going to be out of business very soon. There will definitely be a second criteria to calculate overleverage and cannot be just the CL.

I am surprised that even in this condition SBI Card is a major credit card provider in India

SBI Card is my second oldest card. Holding since 2006. Initially it was SBI Kolkata card offered as LTF. When it was discontinued they gave SBI Gold card LTF. Still holding the same. In between I took the IRCTC card but closed it after one year. Never applied for any other SBI card as they don't offer LTF. Doesn't even offer upgrade to someone holding their card for 18+ years and CL is also one of the lowest.
