Limits: Explained Simply!
Your Niyo SBM Credit Card Limits
Whether you’re spending in India or abroad, knowing your credit and transaction limits can help you plan better and spend smarter.
How is my credit limit calculated?
Your credit limit depends on the Fixed Deposits (FDs) you’ve booked.
Credit Limit = 90% of your total active FD amount
Maximum Credit Limit: ₹25 lakh per billing cycle (30 days)
Example:
| FD Amount | Credit Limit (90%) |
|---|---|
| ₹20 lakh | ₹18 lakh |
| ₹27.78 lakh | ₹25 lakh |
| ₹40 lakh | ₹25 lakh (max) |
Want to increase your credit limit?
Good news! You can increase your credit limit anytime by adding more FDs.
Here’s how it works:
- Add FDs through the app
- Your credit limit updates automatically to 90% of your total active FD
