CIBIL Score & Its Importance:

 

The Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) tracks all financial reports from banks/NBFCs and scores individuals on a scale of 300-900 on the basis of these reports. This score is used by lenders as a parameter for one’s creditworthiness and repayment capability. A good CIBIL score for Personal Loan of around 750 increases your eligibility for a personal loan.

Increasing Low Credit Scores

To improve a low CIBIL/credit score, many individuals take the help of consultants or apply for personal loans. The records of timely repayments on the personal loan are sent to CIBIL by the lender which increases your credit score.
