What is a CIBIL Score?
CIBIL Score is like your financial report card. It tells banks and lenders how good you are at paying back loans or credit cards. The score is given by an organization called CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau India Limited).
What is the Score Range?
The CIBIL score is a three-digit number, ranging from 300 to 900.
if your CIBIL score is 750 or above, it means your financial report card is Excellent (Banks love this!)
700–749 = Good
650–699 = Average
Below 650 = Needs improvement
Why is CIBIL Score Important?
Imagine you’re asking a friend for money. If you always return money on time, your friend will trust you again. Banks work the same way! Your CIBIL score shows your creditworthiness (how trustworthy you are with money).
You need a good CIBIL score to:
Get a loan easily (home, car, personal loan)
Get a credit card
Get loans at lower interest rates
Rent a house or apartment
Even get a job in some cases
How is the CIBIL Score Calculated?
It’s based on:
Your payment history – Do you pay EMIs or credit card bills on time?
Credit usage – Are you using too much of your credit limit?
Length of credit history – How long have you been using credit?
Number of loans/credit cards – Too many can be risky.
Hard inquiries – Each time you apply for a loan, it’s recorded.
How to Improve Your CIBIL Score
Pay your EMIs and credit card bills on time
Use only 30–40% of your credit limit
Don’t apply for too many loans at once
Keep old credit cards (long history helps)
Check your credit report regularly for mistakes
