Your credit card limit is assigned by the Bank based on several factors, including the type of credit card, your income, the company you work for, your financial history and debt burden ratio.
Your Credit Card Limit is the maximum amount you can spend with your credit card. The minimum amount you have to repay by the payment due date is referred to as your Outstanding Balance or Utilized Limit and the rest is your Available Credit Limit.
