As far as I know, there is no OTP required for credit limit increase (atleast in case of HDFC and SBI). No experience with Axis (for credit limit) so other dimers may share something.
If OTP was not shared, it’s all good.
Disable international and OTP less transactions for safety, for now.

No OTP required for limit increament in Axis CC.
So avoid such calls/sms.
They might be from BankBazaar or Paisa bazaar and trying to initiate a new cc application , just complete their targets. It can be case,not sure.

Also try to share the number of that caller.
May be someone can identify the exact reason

These OTPs are for new cc applications and this could be an internal job ( Kotak employees who had access to Savings account used to do the same )

See the above case. The website is look-alike to axis credit card application site but its totally fake. This is a genuine fraud. Be careful.
