Whether you are applying for a loan or a credit card, your CIBIL score plays a major role in your application and approval process. Having a good CIBIL score is essential. But what exactly is a CIBIL score and how can you find out your CIBIL score for free? Here’s more information:

What is a CIBIL score?

The Credit Information Bureau India Ltd. (CIBIL) is authorised by the RBI to generate a detailed credit record of an individual. A CIBIL score or a CIBIL report indicates your credit information and creditworthiness with a three-digit number, on a scale of 300-900. The CIBIL score calculation is a process that generates a score which is the numerical indicator of your credit history. It's calculated using your loan and credit repayment history, signifying your overall financial and credit health. Banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) refer to this CIBIL score when assessing your application for a loan or a credit card.

The closer you are to a score of 900, the more confidence any institution will have in you, leading to greater chances of your credit card or a loan application being approved. At IDFC FIRST Bank, with a good credit score you can get maximum credit limit, minimum interest rates and apply for credit card or get a good loan offer.

Tips for maintaining a good CIBIL score

To maintain a good CIBIL score, remember these three things:

Always pay your dues on time. Whether it is paying credit card bills or repayment of loans, ensure timely payments to get a good record in your CIBIL report.
If you keep paying only miminum dues every month and avoid paying in full, your CIBIL score will be affected.
Do not depend on just one form of debt. To build a good CIBIL score, it is also important that you borrow to the extent of your actual financial requirement from any financial institution and that you repay your dues on time as per the repayment schedule.

Keeping track of your CIBIL score and paying all the dues on time will help you maintain a great CIBIL report, which will, in turn, help you get the best deals from banks.
