Credit Card Tracker
Juggling three or four credit cards means three or four due dates, limits, and statements — and one missed payment can cost you a late fee plus a dent in your credit score. This tracker puts every card on one sheet: limit, current outstanding, statement and due dates, and your utilisation on each card and overall. It flags when utilisation creeps toward the level that hurts your score and reminds you which payment is due next, so you pay in full, on time, and keep your CIBIL score climbing.

What it does
The tracker lists each credit card you hold with its credit limit, current outstanding balance, statement date, and payment due date. It calculates your utilisation — outstanding divided by limit — for every card individually and across all cards combined, since both matter to your credit score. It highlights cards running above the ~30% utilisation level that credit bureaus view unfavourably, and surfaces the next due date so a payment never slips. By keeping limits, balances, and dates in one view, it turns multiple cards from a source of late fees and score damage into a controlled, score-building tool.
Who it’s for
- People with two or more cards who have ever missed a due date or paid a late fee.
- Anyone working to raise their CIBIL score who needs to manage utilisation deliberately.
- Reward-chasers who run spends through cards and must pay in full to keep it worthwhile.
- Households tracking shared and add-on cards across a single statement view.

Sneha holds three cards with limits of ₹2,00,000, ₹1,50,000, and ₹50,000 — a combined ₹4,00,000. This month her outstandings are ₹90,000, ₹20,000, and ₹40,000, totalling ₹1,50,000. The tracker shows overall utilisation at 37% and flags the ₹50,000 card at 80% — high enough to drag her score. Her three due dates fall on the 5th, 12th, and 18th. She pays down the small card before its statement date to drop its utilisation, then clears all three in full by their due dates, bringing reported utilisation back under 30% and avoiding any interest.
