I'm about to buy a laptop worth ₹83,000 which is on a offer of 10% cb if purchased through credit cards.. 

Unfortunately my HDFC cc credit limit is just ₹75,000. Now if I add ₹8000 in my credit card beforehand--- Can I buy the laptop normally without any over limit panalty while retaining the 10% cb benifit. Also I will pay the credit card bill immediately after the purchase as I am just interested in the cashback 

Please anyone guide me. Please 🙏

If applicable, use 8K gift vouchers and pay the balance within your credit limit.

Disable the Overlimit, and then try to do that transaction.

Call up cc and ask for advise... If your card usage and payments are good some banks give temporary limit increase for a specific period

Risk !!!

Using 30% itself is Bad,

U want to use more than 100% that too in a single transaction.

dont worry dont worry ITS SAFE TO USE 100% OF YOUR LIMIT ONCE A TIME, it will hardly affect your cibil by mostly 5 points and that will get restored in 2 months, so dont worry:) its not a big deal:)


this is worrysome only when you DO 100% ALWAYS, 


also this 100% usage is kinda good for limit enchancement too IF DONE ONCE IN A WHILE 



dont fall for this plain 30% utlization myth:) its myth myth:)

once in a while is perfectly fine

Yes I did this exactly,

I bought a laptop worth 1 lakh 10 thousand with my icici credit card of limit 90000.

I prepaid 30000 to my credit card, It showed -30000 as limit.

I then ordered the laptop, got the offer within limits.

Just remember to prepay again and reduce the usage to less than 30% before bill is generated.

ICICI worked, can't 100% confirm for HDFC but might work.

You can do that. Did it with my SBI CC.

There will be a transaction limit set by you for each category. How come that can be more than your limits?

i think it may reject stating that purchase limit exceeded. so a single purchase would have that issue

That issue is with Axis only. I don't know which other banks create issues for that.
