HDFC Bank’s Covid-19 Special Offer: 2X Credit Limit Enhancement

By | September 4, 2021
HDFC Credit Card Limit Enhancement offer

As soon as lockdown got lifted we started getting good set of offers from multiple credit card issuers and I was looking for something good from HDFC but there were nothing special, except the latest SmartBuy Extra Saving Days Sale that’s running for 3 days. 

That said they infact silently sent a grand offer to many cardmembers during this pandemic and that’s what this article is all about: Credit Limit Enhancement (LE). Here are all the details about the same.

2X Credit Limit Enhancement Offer

While few banks are reducing the credit limit of select cardholders during covid-19 pandemic, here’s HDFC that came up with a grand credit limit enhancement offer by doubling the limit for many cardholders during June 2020

From my known set of friends and family, I see more than 90% of them got 2X limit and some got 20% to 30% enhancement too.

Interestingly though, my card neither got 2X nor other limit enhancement offer. Part of the reason is that I got LE within 6 months when this offer was rolled out. Anyway I’m not complaining as the limit is already at a very good level.

Why Credit Limit matters? 

HDFC Auto Credit Limit Enhancement

Credit limit is an important aspect of a credit card product. It helps you do high spends, get high value loan on credit card and more. 

But when it comes to HDFC Credit Cards it’s much more than that. 

As HDFC has a habit of upgrading cards based on the credit limit, when you get a credit limit enhancement, you also stand a chance to upgrade to the next level card that’s more rewarding. 

For ex, if you had 2.5L limit on regalia and if you’ve got 100% limit enhancement, you can upgrade your card (relatively easy) to HDFC diners black which comes with wonderful rewards. 

Update: October 2020

Looks like HDFC went for another round of credit limit enhancement offer by Oct 2020 for most card members.

I see most of those who got the 2X Limit enhancement previously got this offer too. Even others who didn’t receive the offer before have got one. I’m fortunately one of them this time.

  • The % of LE is about 20%-30% this round and I haven’t heard any 2X so far.

Update: March 2021

Another Auto Credit Limit Enhancement offer has been rolled out along with the upgrade offer.

  • The % of LE is about 5%-20% this round and I haven’t heard any 2X so far.

Update: May 2021

Another Auto Credit Limit Enhancement offer has been rolled out along with the upgrade offer.

  • The % of LE is different for different people. Have seen some with 2X as well.

Update: September 2021

Another major Auto Credit Limit Enhancement offer has been rolled out during 1st week of Sep 2021.

  • The % of LE is different for different people. Have seen some with 2X as well this time.

Final Thoughts

It’s very interesting to see HDFC being so generous in the limit enhancement, that too during Covid-19 while even premium issuers like American Express have put a hold on limit enhancement, even now. 

It’s definitely a MASTER SROKE by HDFC, the #1 credit card issuer in the country, a risky move at this time but it seems they are likely to get more revenue than loss by doing so, as anyway they have enough data to back up this decision.

So if you haven’t been notified about this limit enhancement offer, do check out your netbanking to see if you’re eligible for the same.

Login to NetBanking > Cards > Request > Limit Enhancement

I still see many getting ~20% LE sorts even now but appears that 2X is likely gone.

Did you receive a limit enhancement offer on HDFC Credit Cards and if so how much % was that? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

    In my 3 year association with hdfc bank, from regalia first to DCB, I have never had a single offer for LE. I have regularly checked the limit enhancement tab but it has never been there.

    Lucky to get a 2x increase in limit to 8.5l 3 weeks back. And finally an upgrade from Regali to infinia the day before.
    I really thought it would be tough.
    Now i have been reading that HDFC is pushing out DCBs and Infinias.
    I am lucky to get the top card, but now i wonder that i may be part of the problem causing the devaluations.
    Anyone know what HDFC might be planning?

    1. Abhishek Maheshwari

      Hi
      I got my first credit card from the axis in 2013 with a credit limit of less than 50k ( with my salary account ) and got my first limit enhancement in 2015 of around 60 % ( hardly used it at that time ), after that I got a limit enhancement to around 150 % L in 2017 after I started using it. In 2020 I got my second credit card Axis ACE with a limit that was shared initially with a primary card. Then 3 months I got an offer for limit enhancement on the primary card of around 60% and now with that my both cards have separate credit limits making a total hike of around 100 %. (I’m a priority account holder with Axis bank since 2013 ) . Last year I have opened a savings max account with HDFC and got a Regalia card with it, got a decent limit on it but no credit limit enhancement so far.

    I also received 20% enhancement. However, i was looking for card upgrade as i am currently holding Money Back credit card with a limit of 3.4 Lakh and it is least rewarding card of HDFC Bank in terms of cashback and offers but no luck on that front.

    No luck for me. My last LE on Infinia was on 1st Jan’20. Since 15-Jul-19 to 01-Jan-20, I got a cumulative 250% LE (a surprising 4 times in less than 6 months).
    13 months back, got a 400%+ LE on ICICI.
    For SBI & ICICI APay, it’s more than 2 years since last LE.
    For Citi, it’s also more than 2 years since card issuance, still with the same limit.
    For Axis, it’s 1 year.

    I think more than anything else, a higher credit limit helps one keep percentage utilization of credit limit at a low figure. This greatly helps in having a good CIBIL score.

        Correct. HDFC and AmEx does not report your limit to credit bureaus. I don’t understand their logic of not reporting the limit. If you have other credit cards with really good limit, it can still keep you well within 30% overall utilization.

    Does HDFC stop limit increase offers after limit reaches 15L? Havent been getting any LE offers after reaching 15L. Reached 15L around 6 months ago. Every time my limit used to be random numbers n multiples of hundreds or thousands. But this time was a clean round figure of 15L. Is this the max limit? or how to increase from here.

      They increase limit mainly if they feel you need it so try spending close to 15L per month for a quarter or 6 months and they will increase the linit

    I recently got a msg from ICICI regarding my Sapphiro card, and couldn’t believe that they increased the LE by more than 10X.
    I don’t know if it was some glitch in the system or something else at play, but changing LE from mid 6-digit to 7 digit was kind of scary!
    And the most weird part is I barely use this card. Many times 0 spends in a month.

    God knows how their algos for these things work.

      Same here. After 10 years of holding this ICICI card, suddenly got an le offer which I misread to be a 25k increase. Turns out it was a 10x increase. Now I have a scary limit of 27.4 lakhs. Insane.

    Right after the lockdown ended, I got a 40 percent increase from HDFC. I am using HDFC Millennia, and was into just 6 months of using the card.
    HDFC did pretty nice there. But as I reported in an earlier comment on a different post, HDFC is acting strange as far as Millennia reward points are concerned. There are notifications all over internet from Nobroker and Payzapp and many other sources, about 10 percent benefits on rent pay through Millennia, up to 500 cashback on Payzapp, and card rewards up to 750. But I never got the card rewards on the Nobroker Rentpaiment through Payzapp, not a single point, though Payzapp has always credited the promised cashback. And on talking to some other friends who have the card, realized I am not the only one.

        Very disappointing by hdfc. I called many time to hdfc customer care but no solution provided.

        On nobroker their is zero cash back as on their website shows extra cash back upto Rs 750.

      Nobroker tried that trick with me in my 3rd month of paying. I immediately sent an email to HDFC customer service and the nodal officer and mentioned words like fraud and cheating. HDFC blocked payment to No broker and sent them a notice. I sent an email to Nobroker with a copy of the email and they processed the transaction. I had been paying for 2 months with no issues and suddenly they say its suspicious? Same amount, same time of the month, same account. Seems more like a legal scam.

      Bare minimum would be 5L CL for DCB and 8L for Infinia.

      With ICICI no logic. My family Sapphiro card limit increased 150% without any login. Last year’s total spend was less than 15k.

      Generally card limit spends on regular spending and payment patterns but the card used a total of 4 statements and the remaining was 0 spend.

      Have FDs with them and transactions every month. Most of the transfers only.
      Amazon pay used more than the Sapphiro but no offer LE.

      I had ICICI card for many years used about 1.5L+ per year (to waive the fee) but not LE.

      So finally ICICI no logic.

      Icici actually doesn’t seem to have any logic or algorithm, Captain. An acquaintance in cards club had icici platinum with 50k limit for past 10 years. Recently he had LE to10 lakhs. And that too when he didn’t use the card at all for past 9 years. As in like no transaction; only the renewal fee was charged every 3 years to his card and auto debited.

    As per the pattern of limit enhancement offers by hdfc and comments, i came to conclusion that hdfc will give limit enhancement offer in june 2021 . They give offer 3 times a yr after every 4 months. Like they gave offers in june 2020 then waited for july aug sep and then they gave offer in October 2020 then waited nov dec jan then gave offer in feb 2021 and waiting mar apr may and hdfc should push offers of upgrade and limit enhancement by june 2020 as per the pattern. Hope i am right🤣🤣🤣

      Lots of people got limit enhancement on 14th May 2021. I got limit enhancement in March 2021. My wife got in January 2021. I don’t see any pattern.

        I haven’t received a limit Enhancement offer since July 2019 inspite of a significant amount of spend on my then Regalia Card and later from November 2019 Diners Black Card.

        So I agree that there isn’t a pattern to this.

          Yep no pattern. Its been around 1.5 years since my last limit enhancement. So, maybe for your account they might be doing it in the months mentioned by you. Mine last came in Nov 2019.

    I have not received any LE offer. I hold both infinia and dcb with limits of 14.5 lacs and 8.25 lacs respectively. The same limit is since last 2 yrs. Annual expense is around 20 lacs spread across both these cards

    Received a LE from 5.39L to 8L on my Regalia CC a couple of days ago.

    Any chance that I will be eligible for an Infinia LTF now? My Regalia is currently LTF.

      Try it. HDFC is upgrading a lot of cards. Maybe because they are not able to issue new credit cards due to the RBI order. I got an CL enhancement to 14L on my Infinia and to 6L on my DCB.

        Thanks, RM.

        My RM doesn’t seem to be helpful in this case. There’s no preapproved offer on the net banking website.

        Any suggestions?

    Not related to HDFC, but related to LE: There was no official email, but in April 2021, I received a 5x LE for ICICI Amazon Pay Card 2L to 10L. I am not going to spend so much. But, I hope they do not withdraw this offer.

    I got bumped from 7 lakhs to 25 lakhs on my HDFC regalia credit limit. Is this normal for HDFC to offer such increases from time to time?

      Wow 25L on Regalia! You should definitely try for the Infinia upgrade

      Can you please share your usage pattern? What was your credit utilization percentage and did you take any EMI s etc?

      Wow, that’s a crazy limit enhancement.

      How much credit limit (%) of your 7L limit were you using before?

      Reply
      1. Sam C

        Not much to be honest. No more than 20% at any time. Don’t have any EMIs either, but I am a Imperia customer – maybe they are just handing these CLEs to us, who knows.

    Hi today i received sms from hdfc wherein they have reduced my credit card limi t from 345000 to 138000. The same is reflecting in the portal also. I have been holding HDFC Regalia Credit card and have using their cards since 2014. I cant understand how can they reduce the limit without informing the customer and that to by more than half in my case. Has this credit limit downgrade happened with anyone else also?

    Reply

      That’s a bit harsh. Though it is prerogative of the bank to increase or decrease the limit, a decrease usually happens if CC bill payment has been missed or CC has not been used much.
      Was either the case?

      Yes, from ~12 L to ~7 L. Maybe due to lesser spend over few months.

    I just got an SMS about Credit limit reduction on HDFC infinia credit card and no cash limit. Has this happened to any of you? I have always paid full dues and on time. No other loans taken in the last many years. Got a new credit card about 15 months ago from SC. Have had this HDFC card account for more than ten years.

    The reduction is quite substantial. Almost 60% reduction.

    Dear Cardmember,Credit limit on your HDFC Bank card ending XXXX has been reduced to YYYYYY with no cash limit. Detailed email/letter will be sent to you.

    Hdfc has started the credit limit enhancement.
    I got LI enhancement from of 50k from 10 lac to 11 lac 😂
    Wife got 3 lac to 5 lac , whooping 2 lac LI
    Brother got 7 to 12 lac and Upgrade offer; he doesn’t spend more on HDFC but more on Amex but now he is thinking of shifting towards HDFC as Amex acceptability has become major issue ( Infact I too faced the same at top 2 hospitals in Ahemdabad )
    Sister got 8 to 9.8 lac
