Credit score & utilisation
- Utilisation: TransUnion CIBIL describes spending around 30% of available limit as healthy; higher utilisation may lower score.
- CIBIL: higher utilisation suggests over-extension; each credit application enquiry may have a marginal impact and many applications in a short period may hurt the score; checking your own score has no impact.
- Bureau update frequency: RBI circular of 8 Aug 2024 requires credit institutions to report credit information to CICs fortnightly (or shorter), effective 1 Jan 2025, submitted within 7 calendar days of the fortnight.
- Free Full Credit Report including credit score, once per calendar year from each CIC (RBI, 1 Sep 2016; effective 1 Jan 2017).
- Card issuers cannot report a new card to CICs before activation; must intimate cardholder before reporting default; update within 30 days of settlement.
- From 1 Apr 2027 (Amendment Directions 2026): card accounts reported ’past due’ only when overdue more than 3 days.
How to improve your approval chances
- Apply for a card that matches your income — premium cards have much higher thresholds.
- Check your credit report for errors and fix them first (free once a year from each bureau).
- Avoid several applications in a short period; each creates a hard enquiry.
- Pre-approved offers from your own bank usually need less paperwork.
- New to credit? Start with an FD-backed card and graduate after 6–12 months of on-time payments.

Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible for a Axis Bank credit card?
Age: 18-70 (card-specific).
What credit score do I need?
A CIBIL score of 750 or more gives the best approval odds; below 700, consider a secured (FD-backed) card first.
Can I get a card without income proof?
Yes — a card against a fixed deposit usually needs no income proof and helps build a credit history.
