How to Improve Your CIBIL Score

  • Pay every EMI and credit card bill on time

    Payment history is the largest factor in your score. A single missed EMI can drop your score by 50–100 points. Set up auto-debit mandates so no payment is ever missed.

  • Keep credit card utilisation below 30%

    High utilisation signals financial stress. If your credit limit is ₹1 lakh, keep outstanding balances below ₹30,000 at all times. A credit limit increase (without extra spending) also helps.

  • Avoid applying for multiple loans simultaneously

    Each application triggers a hard inquiry. Multiple inquiries in a short period indicate credit-hungry behaviour. Space out applications by at least 3–6 months.

  • Check your CIBIL report for errors and raise disputes

    Many scores are low due to data errors — incorrect defaults or closed loans still shown as open. Pull your free annual report and dispute inaccuracies directly with CIBIL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most banks require a minimum CIBIL score of 700 to sanction a home loan, but scores of 750 and above unlock the best interest rates. With a score above 750, leading banks offer rates starting at 8.50% p.a. A score between 700–749 may attract rates 0.50% higher, and scores below 650 often lead to rejection or very high rates. TransUnion CIBIL scores range from 300 to 900; anything above 750 is considered excellent by Indian lenders.
