Credit score is a numerical summary of creditworthiness used by lenders, with CIBIL, Experian, Equifax, and CRIF High Mark providing scores in India.
Credit score tells banks how risky you are as a borrower — built from loan repayments, credit card usage, and credit history length.
Multiple bureaus may show slightly different scores due to reporting timing. Factors: payment history (35%), utilisation (30%), length (15%), mix (10%), new credit (10%) approximations. No universal minimum — each lender sets cutoffs.
Always paying credit card full by due date, 20% utilisation on ₹2 lakh limit, 8-year home loan track record → score ~780 across bureaus.
CIBIL score is one brand of credit score in India. Other bureaus provide parallel scores lenders may use.
Thin file with no credit history yields low or no score. Responsible credit card use builds history without large loans.
Paying overdue amounts, lowering utilisation, and 6+ months on-time payments can raise score 50–100 points.
