Recent literature has seen an ongoing discussion on the limiting mass of strongly magnetized white dwarfs, since such objects may prove to be a source of overluminous Type-Ia supernovae. In an earlier paper, we have presented the mass-radius relation of white dwarfs with a strong poloidal magnetic field in Newtonian gravity. The inclusion of effects such as general relativistic gravity and many-body corrections to the equation of state can alter the mass-radius relation and the maximum mass. In this work we estimate the extent to which these effects may modify the earlier results. We find that the general relativistic effects tend to reduce the maximum mass by about 2 per cent and many-body corrections by another additional similar to 2 per cent, for an assumed carbon composition. We also explore field geometries that are purely toroidal or a mixture of poloidal and toroidal and find that the limiting mass of such equilibrium configurations can be substantially higher than in the case of a purely poloidal field.
