How to Increase the Limit of Your Citi Credit Card

Total Citi Credit Limit vs Available Citi Credit Limit

The total credit limit on your Citi credit card is the maximum limit of credit that you can use. This limit is set by the bank. In case you overspend on the total credit limit, the bank will levy a penalty, also known as the over-limit charges. 

The available credit limit, on the other hand, is the amount of credit that is currently available on your Citi credit card for spending. At any given point in time, this limit is computed after deducting all the amounts spent on your card earlier, up to that particular point.

Let us understand the difference between these two with an example.

Say the total credit card limit for your Citi credit card is set at ₹1 lakh. This means you can use your credit card to make spends up to ₹1 lakh. However, if you have already spent ₹25,000 from your card till now, then your current available Citi credit card limit will be ₹75,000.
