Loan or Credit Cards are a great tool to fulfill your needs without worrying about the salary date or amount in the saving account. But, getting along is not everyone's cup of tea. It requires a good credit score or the CIBIL score to get an easy loan from the bank or the NBFCs. A CIBIL Score is a three-digit number that summarizes your credit history. The credit history contained in the CIBIL Report is used to calculate the score. CIBIL score is also known as CIR or Credit Information Report. A CIR is a person's credit payment history across loan kinds and credit institutions throughout time.
CIBIL Score
A good CIBIL score means a good chance of getting a loan. A CIBIL score measures between 300 to 900. The higher the number, the higher the chances of loan approval along with a low-interest rate over loan amount, high loan amount, quick loan processing, and a longer loan repayment tenure.
CIR between 300-629 is considered bad, 630-689 is good, between 690-719 is good, and 710 to 900 is excellent. The score is calculated by taking over a number of factors such as payment history, credit exposure, credit history, credit type, recent activities of the subscriber.
How to improve CIBIL score?
Improving the CIBIL score is in the hands of the subscriber. By following a regular CIBIL score and keeping his or her credit payments and keeping a watch on his or her financial activities the CIBIL score could be improved. However, it requires various other factors to contribute to the process.
If you were rejected before for credit, avoid applying for credit as it will encourage the CIBIL to go bad. Another reason you should avoid asking for loans and credit cards too frequently is that every time you apply for credit, the bank will request your credit report from CIBIL, and the query will be reflected in the report. The inquiry by a bank might also cause the score to drop after each request for your report.
If you already have a loan over you, avoid applying for another loan as it might also damage your CIBIL score and you could face trouble in the future. Also, clear your pending loans and pay your EMI on time.
If you have a credit card, try to avoid late payment. Always stick to your payment deadline and pay on time or even if possible pay before the time limit. Doing this will help you to improve your CIBIL score.
How to read CIBIL Report?
Your CIBIL score may be seen on your credit record. As previously stated, this score is in numerical form (300-900). A low CIBIL score means low chances of getting an easy loan, and a high CIBIL score means higher chances of getting an easy loan.
There are some common terms used in your CIBIL report such as:
- Cash Limit - The maximum amount you may take from your credit card.
- Control Number (CN) - The Control Number is your report number, and it is very significant if you ever wish to submit a dispute.
- High Credit - This displays the largest invoiced amount on your credit card or overdraft, including fees and interest.
- Days Over Due (DOD) - The number of days you have gone past the payment date without making it. Anything other than 'STD' or '000' is regarded as bad.
