691 CIBIL Score - Is it good or bad?
A credit score of 691 falls under the good category on a scale of 300 to 900 used in India by credit bureaus like CIBIL, Experian, and Equifax. While it is not considered excellent, it’s high enough to qualify for several types of loans and credit cards. However, it may not secure you the best interest rates.

How to improve your 691 credit score?
Achieving a credit score of 691 is commendable, but there's always room for improvement to secure better financial opportunities. Here are steps tailored to the Indian context to enhance your credit score:
1. Pay your bills on time: Ensure timely payment of utility bills, credit card dues, and loan EMIs. Consistent on-time payments positively impact your credit history.
2. Reduce outstanding debt: Work on paying down high-interest credit card balances and personal loans. Reducing your debt load can lower your credit utilization ratio, which benefits your score.
3. Maintain a healthy credit utilization ratio: Keep your credit card usage below 30% of your total credit limit. High utilization ratios can negatively affect your score.
4. Avoid applying for multiple credit accounts simultaneously: Each credit inquiry can temporarily lower your score. Apply for new credit only when necessary and ensure you meet eligibility criteria.
5. Check your credit report regularly: Monitor your credit report for inaccuracies or fraud. Dispute any errors promptly with credit bureaus like CIBIL or Experian to ensure your report reflects accurate information.
Characteristics of 691 CIBIL Score
- Loan eligibility: With a 691 credit score, you can apply for personal loans, home loans, and car loans, though lenders may offer slightly higher interest rates than those with an excellent score (750+). Check your eligibility in just 2 steps and plan your expenses comfortably.
- Credit card offers: You are likely to qualify for a variety of credit cards, but premium credit cards with added perks may require a score above 750.
- Improvement tips: To push your score beyond 700, focus on timely bill payments, reduce credit card debt, and avoid applying for multiple loans in a short period.
- Impact on EMI: A score below 700 could mean higher EMIs on loans, affecting your long-term financial goals.
