CIBIL Score — The Complete Guide for Indians
Your CIBIL score controls your financial life. Learn everything about it — from checking your score free to raising disputes and improving by 100+ points.
The CIBIL score is a three-digit number between 300 and 900 assigned by TransUnion CIBIL — one of India's four licensed credit bureaus. It is the single most important factor lenders use to decide whether to approve your loan application and at what interest rate. A score of 750+ typically gets you the best rates; below 650, most banks will decline your application outright.
- CIBIL score range: 300 (lowest) to 900 (highest) — 750+ is considered excellent
- Payment history accounts for 35% of your score — never miss an EMI
- You can check your score free once a year from each of the 4 bureaus
- Errors in your CIBIL report can be disputed online — resolution within 30 days
- A 50-point improvement can save you ₹2–5 lakh in interest on a home loan
- Soft enquiries (checking your own score) do NOT affect your score
