In case you apply for a Credit Card and it gets rejected, in most cases, you cannot re-apply right away. It will get declined immediately. You have to wait for a specific period of time before you can apply again. This waiting period is termed as ‘Cooldown Period’.
Different banks can have different cooldown periods. In today’s post, I am listing down the cooldown periods for the most popular banks so that it helps you take an informed decision.
- This cooldown period only applies to regular applications where you approach the bank for applying credit card and get rejected for any reason.
- In case you get a pre-approved credit card offer, the cooldown period doesn’t apply.
- In case you apply for a secured credit card against Fixed Deposit, the cooldown period doesn’t apply.
- Every time you apply, the bank will do a Hard Inquiry which may affect your CIBIL Score. Check out my other post to know about the CIBIL Inquiry Amounts of each bank.
| Bank | Cooldown Period | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| AU Bank | 6 Months | |
| Axis Bank | No Cooldown | 1 |
| BOB Cards | 3 Months | |
| HDFC Bank | 6 Months | |
| ICICI Bank | 6 Months | |
| IndusInd Bank | 3 Months | |
| IDFC First Bank | 6 Months | |
| RBL Bank | 3 Months | |
| SBI | No Cooldown | |
| Yes Bank | 3 Months |
Remarks:
- Axis Bank has a 6 months cooldown period theoretically. But it is not strictly followed, especially if you apply via 3rd parties such as Flipkart App (for Axis Flipkart CC) or Google Pay App (for Axis Ace CC 1).
- SBI has no cooldown period. If you have your credit card rejected, you can easily re-apply again.
Please comment on other credit cards’ cooldown periods and I will update it. Thank you.

50k limit won’t be a good idea for C2C basis for any card. Atleast 1L is needed but I would suggest 2L+ cards.

It used to be 75k(& 30k for hdfc entry tier moneyback/co-branded card) unless something changed very recently. 2 Lakh+ limit cards are required for applying some mid-tier cards from major banks on card-to-card basis.

BoB is psu bank so many times luck plays important role. You may have a chance of approval though initially limit won’t be much(hopefully you get at least around 40k).

Can’t say really. As he said, luck plays a major role so no surprise even if it is approved. But chances are low.

No way to check status as it’s handled by third party
So just wait for email or call

For ICICI, my application got rejected instantly after submitting it.
So I left thinking to apply for after few months.
Later they called me I guess it was almost one month, On call they confirmed my platinum card is approved. New application was applied from their end as they already had info from my old application. They confirmed the details again. No documents were required from my end.
In two days got confirmation email and then card dispatch. Also I was able to see card in iMobile app just after email.
So I think this cool down thing is decided as per customer relationship with Bank.
