Can we set min and max limit for deployments at deployment level, not at cluster or replica set level in kubernetes ?

On deployment level it is not possible, but there is an option to do this indirectly. You should use a HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA for short):

HPA automatically updates a workload resource (such as a Deployment or StatefulSet), with the aim of automatically scaling the workload to match demand.

Example code for HPA:

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: php-apache
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: php-apache
  minReplicas: 1
  maxReplicas: 10

More information can be found in Kubernetes documentation.

At deployment level only replicas attribute is there. When you define hpa there is an option for min and max
