The point is leverage ....simply put if you have x as income  and if you have 4x as credit at any point of time you're over leveraged and may lead to default...so banks are risk averse  on highly leveraged individual loan disbursement....and your last world Is a Typo or what is uninted limit???

Apart from this loan factor

1 more negative feature of having multiple cards that you may forget due date sometime which can cause problems in cibil.

Managing upto 10 cards at a time is mostly normal nowadays but above this very difficult and probability of forgetting due date is high.

So in short closing unnecessary cards is better.

If U Apply Loan Manually They Will Also See Limits In Credit Card For Financial Risk Factors.


Assuming U Have Credit Card Limit 1 Lakh , If a Loan Agent Asked To Reduce Limit , Then U Call CC Customer Care To Reduce Limit From 1 Lakh to 50k.


Pre-Approved Loans No Problem About Credit Card Limits.

This is where cred or cheq comes to help if you add all your cards and setting one date to pay all cards also helps.

hmm money rotation is not wrong though:) you might get IT notice if you do more than 10lakh rotation in a year in a single bank credit card or bank account, thats the only thing, its not really bad if you have all the proof papers of why you did the rotation :) hehehe

The more cards you have more chances of forgetting bill payment.

As long as you are paying your bills timely and keeping utilisation to optimal levels, there is no issue. People keep cards upto 15 with them, mostly LTF, and use only 3-4 regularly. Rest are all as an emergency backup.
