How is the credit card limit determined?

A credit card is a type of loan. Which you borrow from the bank, spend and then repay. The bank decides its limit according to your credit score. But if you use the credit card till the limit is exhausted then it is wrong. Because banks consider you a risky customer.

If you are using the entire limit, the bank thinks that you are dependent on the loan. If you use a credit card every month then the bank can increase your credit limit. But this has a bad effect on your CIBIL score.
