Sorry, if duplicate.

Needed to know if I have a limit of 50K and spend 45K and immediately pay 45K, will I be able to spend again till 50K?

If yes, can I do this many times or is there something I should know, any charges etc.


Thanks in advance

@Xhaster If the current outstanding is more than ur limit.  So if ur outstanding is less than ur limit and prepay extra amount then spend no charges. But beaware. Heavy charges if u miscalculate .
Btw I'm talking about idfc first card. Other card tnc may vary

Yes it does, but you dont need to enable it. That is for when you want to do a single transaction of amount higher than limit. For normal small transactions, you can pay and use again as much as you want

Anyways banks Not Allowing Overpay of Credit Card Dues; Refunding Excess Money. As per reports, leading banks like HDFC Bank, SBI Card, and Axis Bank have updated their applications to disallow customers from exceeding their outstanding amounts through their apps. A spokesperson from HDFC Bank emphasized the rationale behind this policy, stating that customers cannot hold excess funds within their credit cards, clarifying that credit cards are intended as lending products, not savings accounts. 

They referenced recent guidelines mandating banks to refund any excess credit balances within a specified period. The spokesperson emphasized that a credit card operates differently from a prepaid card product, which permits loading and utilization of funds

Don't breach credit limit..

Don't repay and use also.. Banks have started to take these things seriously in audit.. 

Instead use anybody else's card to take benefit..
