6 Tips to Improve Your Score

Pay EMIs on Time

Even a single missed EMI can drop your CIBIL score by 50-100 points. Set up auto-debit to never miss a payment.

Keep Credit Utilization Below 30%

If your credit card limit is ₹1 lakh, try not to use more than ₹30,000. High utilization signals financial stress.

Don't Apply to Multiple Lenders

Each loan application triggers a "hard inquiry" on your credit report. Multiple inquiries in a short period lower your score.

Maintain a Long Credit History

Keep your oldest credit card active. A longer credit history shows lenders you can manage debt responsibly over time.

Mix Your Credit Types

Having both secured (home/car loan) and unsecured (credit card/personal loan) credit shows balanced financial behavior.

Check Your CIBIL Report Regularly
