Hi Sumanth,
You cannot increase Credit Limit in this Credit Card. If you want a Credit Card with more limit either you can deposit a higher amount for FD or you may apply directly through SBI Card website(i.e. the usual credit card not via FD) and see if you get a card with a better limit.

Hi HG Patel,
If you really need a Credit Card against FD, you can get it against any of your FDs. Also, do remember that your FD will be locked when you get a Credit Card against it from SBI. And only when you Credit Card Outstanding is NIL, you would be able to cancel the Credit Card and get the maturity amount of your FD.
